TRENDING STORIES:

In September 2023, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office deputies were made aware of a 15-year-old girl who was getting sexual text messages from Prince.

Investigators conducted forensic interviews with her and another 16-year-old girl.

The teens told investigators that multiple incidents occurred with Prince starting in December 2018.

During that time, Prince allegedly sexually assaulted one of the girls when she was 14 years old.

In February 2020, Prince watched and recorded one of the teens when they were 13 years old on a home surveillance system. The recording was found on his phone after it was seized by investigators.

Nude photos of the girls when they were 9 and 11 years old were also found on his phone, according to court records.

Prince was also accused of sending both girls cellphone messages to engage in sexual acts with another person and then “send him pictures.”

As part of his sentencing, Prince is also required to register as a Tier II and Tier III sex offender.
