12/16/2015 – OKC, OK — A woman at the center of a recently busted Edmond brothel, run by her University of Central Oklahoma senior, pimp, baby-daddy and boyfriend has pleaded guilty on her latest criminal escapade – Felony shoplifting from a local Target store.
JohnTV has reported several times now on 21-year-old Rachel Lauren Herrera, formerly of Del City.
Herrera got onto JohnTV’s radar after her pimp boyfriend and baby-daddy Ali Hussain Al-Yousuf was busted running a brothel out of his upscale Edmond apartment.
Herrera got caught-up in a Vice sting as her ‘badass’ pimp hid, like a little girl, in their apartment pantry closet.
Also present at the bust was Herrera’s juvenile sister and Herrera’s infant daughter.
As is often the case in Oklahoma County, DA David Prater’s office let everyone go with a slap on the wrist and a stern warning not to do any more crimes – or? – you guessed it. His office would be forced to once again do nothing.
Just seven days after Herrera received her deferred sentence in her prostitution case (no official conviction, no record), she was charged with felony theft of merchandise from a metro Target – and, once again her criminal ways involved her underage sister.
We haven’t read the details of Herrera’s Target shopping spree, but we’d bet she was stealing products so she could keep up her facade as some sort of glamorous Kardashian online.
Regardless, on Nov. 24, Herrera pleaded guilty (link) to the charge and was once again given a hug-a-thug sentence – out of custody RID (Regimented Offender Discipline – shouldn’t that make it “R.O.D.”?). RID is defined online as a “delayed sentencing program for offenders.”
This is the same program admitted child sex trafficker Joshua Ray Hudson was sentenced to in 2014. It was so successful that DA Prater’s office wiped clean Hudson’s criminal record (for selling a pregnant 15 year old out of an Edmond motel) and only a few months later he was re-arrested for trying to shoot and kill police officers in another county. Oh yeah, and he had a different bikini clad 15-year old female with him when he was caught.
If Herrera is as successful as Hudson was, then the DA’s office has already agreed to wipe her record out too, with yet another deferred sentence.
Herrera is expected back in court on June 17 of next year.
As for her pimp baby-daddy — yeah, there’s still an arrest warrant out for him for violating his previous hug-a-thug deferred sentence for maintaining a brothel. Way to go there DA David Prater – you’re setting a fine example!
