GLOUCESTER COUNTY, NJ — A registered sex offender forced an underage girl to perform sexual acts with several men while recording it so he could sell the videos, according to the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office.
Amir A. Vaughan, 25, of Egg Harbor Township, was charged Tuesday with first-degree counts of promoting prostitution and endangering the welfare of a child.
The investigation began Dec. 10, when a minor victim came forward to Franklin Township police, authorities said. She reported that a man named "Kyro" forced her to perform sexual acts with men four times in April and May, according to prosecutors.
