6/26/2014 – OKC, OK — Its been awhile, but we’ve uploaded a new video; Episode 405 ‘Dirty Deed by the Dumpster.’

This video was shot by JohnTV’s own Video Vigilante Brian Bates this past Tuesday in the general area of S. Robinson Ave. in south Oklahoma City.

Around noon Bates was observing a longtime mother daughter prostitution team in the area of SE 44th and S. Byers Ave.

The mother, Teresa Walker, and her daughter, Tisha Howard, have spent most of their lives as transient drug addicts either selling themselves independently or at the hand of one of many pimps in the area.

On this day Bates watched as the two, standing in a neighborhood school zone, solicited passing vehicles and men that would stop to wash their cash at a neighboring car wash.

Bates had been notified that Tisha is once again pregnant and working the streets. We don’t know how many children Tisha has given birth to, but we are told its between three and five. We are also told none are in her custody.

Just minutes before Tisha was picked up by a John, both she and her mother were stopped and briefly questioned by two patrol officers with the Oklahoma City Police Department.

Despite the police knowing exactly what Tisha and Teresa were up to, they are really fairly helpless in doing anything other than making their presence known. Which didn’t seem to have much impact considering only seconds after they pulled away a ‘John’ promptly pulled up and Tisha got into his white truck.

The two drove east on SE 44th just a few blocks to the Buy For Less parking lot near SE 44th and S. High Ave.

Once there the driver pulled around to the back of the building and parked next to a dumpster – romantic huh?

Bates parked in the front of the building and walked around, using the dumpster to hide his approach.

Once Bates confirmed that the two were engaged in public lewdness he approached the vehicle and let the driver know he was BUSTED!

The truck appears to have been displaying a commercial tag and as is often the case, the driver was wearing a wedding ring. Also, as pointed out by some observant YouTube viewers, the driver has a child’s car seat in the back seat of the truck (which makes him a double scum bag).

The next day Bates turned a copy of his video over to a member of the Oklahoma Vice Unit for investigation and prosecution.

You can see the resulting video below…

This is a video from 2012 of Teresa and Tisha prostituting at the same corner…

This is a video of another busted moment that involved Tisha…

6/30/2014 – OKC, OK — A Oklahoma City man known to JohnTV as a wanna-be pimp is back behind bars and probably isn’t getting out any time soon.

‘Eddie’ Ardavan Ahmadpour, 45, was taken into custody on Jun. 19th and is currently being held in the Oklahoma County Jail on a $772,000 bond for a laundry list of charges.

JohnTV last reported on ‘Eddie’ back in Aug. of 2012 when he was returned to jail by Oklahoma’s best-known bounty hunters – the Bounty Boys. In that case, ‘Eddie’ was arrested as he claimed a $3,500 jackpot win at a local casino. ‘Eddie’ has a Oklahoma County criminal history going back to at least 1988.

‘Eddie’, who likes to falsely claim he’s an undercover law enforcement agent and former member of the Iraqi Republican Guard, sniper and boxer, became know to JohnTV many years ago when he was pimping a woman on S. Robinson Ave. named Diann R. Killian.

According to Killian, ‘Eddie’ was a violent pimp who often used physical abuse against her and other women.

Killian is currently serving up to 12-years in prison for burglary and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

‘Eddie’ is no stranger to prison himself, with a criminal DOC resume that includes multiple counts of robbery with a firearm.

No details of ‘Eddie’s’ arrest have been released, but, according to the jail he is being held on; distribution of CDS, driving under suspension, DUI-drugs, improper left turn, maintaining a drug house, possession of CDS without a prescription, possession of CDS with intent to distribute, possession of a firearm after former conviction, possession of an offensive weapon while in commission of a felony, possession of a firearm with the serial number removed, possession of drug proceeds, transporting a loaded firearm and trafficking in illegal drugs.

JohnTV will continue to follow this case.

7/16/2014 – OKC, OK — An Oklahoma City man was recently busted by JohnTV after he was caught engaging in a lewd act with a street prostitute in his shinny red Corvette, parked next to a local church.

The video (see below) ‘Episode 407: If the Vette’s a Rock’in’ is pretty self explanatory; On June 12th, at about 7 p.m., some fat slob, apparently driving his $50,000 midlife crisis mobile, picks up a street prostitute near SW 36 and S. Robinson Ave. The fat slob then takes the woman to a parking lot that backs up to a church and has her perform oral sex on him. Which had to have been quite the feat as we’re pretty certain the driver hasn’t seen his own penis in years. Regardless, JohnTV’s own Video Vigilante Brian Bates approaches the Corvette and confronts the driver – who quickly sped away.

JohnTV turned a copy of the video over to Oklahoma City Vice on June 16th and posted the video to our YouTube channel on July 1.

Criminal charges will most likely be filed in the coming weeks.

The ‘John’ is facing possible felony public lewdness/prostitution charges because he was caught within 1,000′ of a church.

Within days of posting the video the driver’s neighbors began outing him to JohnTV as Johnny Blurton of 6405 S. Drexel Ave. in Oklahoma City (map link – county assessor link).

Neighbors have gone on to share that Blurton is reportedly unmarried and lives with another man and that they’ve lived at this address for a long time.

Apparently Blurton has been unfazed by being caught on camera, as he is seen cruising S. Robinson Ave. on a daily basis.

Blurton apparently also frequents First Enterprise Bank at 2115 SW 44th Street – We know this because another JohnTV fan snapped the pic below of Blurton’s Corvette in the bank’s parking lot after the fan recognized Blurton inside.

JohnTV will update this story when criminal charges are filed.

7/28/2014 – OKC, OK — Midwest City ‘man’ and recent newlywed, Jason John Weil, has pleaded in his street prostitution criminal case and received his sentence – despite his new wife’s insistence that it was all just a big ol’ misunderstanding.

JohnTV has twice now reported on the misguided sexual activities of 32-year-old Jason Weil – first when he was arrested, along with 13 others, for soliciting street prostitution along OKC’s infamous S. Robinson Ave. – and then again when Weil’s probable cause affidavit was released publicly (see image below).

According to court documents, on April 15, at about 3 p.m., Weil, who reportedly works for OG&E, was apparently cruising S. Robinson Ave. on the hunt for some cheap public sex with one of the local drug addicted, often homeless and usually controlled by some pimp, ladies of the street.

Unfortunately for Weil, he is apparently not very good at preying upon soliciting street prostitutes because the one he picked was actually an undercover female police officer – Doh!

Allegedly Weil rolled up on a faux hoe standing near SW 39th and S. Robinson Ave. and offered $80 for both oral and vaginal sex.

Couple of things here….. One; undercover female officers are really easy to spot (making Weil pretty stupid). Two; S. Robinson Ave. is a $20 street, not an $80 street (making Weil stupid and fiscally irresponsible). And, three; when you’re about to marry the most attractive woman you’ve ever met, you don’t cruise S. Robinson Ave. and you certainly don’t offer to pay to have vaginal intercourse with some anonymous, most likely contagious drug addict who most likely doesn’t have a condom on her! (that’s a trifecta of stupidity)

Yes, you heard that right – Weil was only a few days out from marrying (what we’re told from people who know her) a woman who is way, way, way over his pay grade in physical appearance, intelligence and personality.

Mrs. Weil is either the most forgiving or most gullible woman we’ve ever met, because, despite her fiancee’s actions and arrest, she married the dope anyway.

As evident in a text message (see image below) sent by the then soon-to-be Mrs. Weil to an inquiring friend, Jason had apparently convinced her that this entire ‘situation’ could be worked out in short order with the help of a really good lawyer.

Text message sent from Jason’s fiancee to a friend.

Less than a month after the Weil’s said their ‘I do’s’ the whole ‘for better or for worse’ clause became an all too real reality when Jason was officially and criminally charged in Oklahoma County with offering to engage in an act of prostitution.

Apparently the Weil’s definition of ‘misunderstanding’ and ‘clearing it up’ is to plead no contest to the charges and accept the repercussions – because that’s exactly what happened on July 17th.

Beyond the hype and the embarrassment of it all, Jason really didn’t fare too poorly in court….. he received the boilerplate one year deferred sentence (supervised), 20-hours of community service, $100 fine and some court costs. If he doesn’t get in any more trouble then this won’t count as a conviction and he can have it all expunged off his record in a few years.

Personally, we don’t see how a marriage survives after something like this… I mean every time you’re sitting on the couch together flipping through the cable channels Jason has to be holding his breath that Pretty Woman, HBO’s Cathouse, Cheaters or even the Maury Show doesn’t pop up on the screen. Then there’s always those uncomfortable moments when someone mentions infidelity or prostitution. Just seems like a recipe for a lifetime of anxiety.

O’well, hopefully Jason learned a valuable lesson and Mrs. Weil has him on a very short leash!

And Jason, the next time you think about participating in the world oldest profession abuse of women, remember these images….

9/12/2014 – OKC, OK — A longtime notorious south Oklahoma City pimp and drug dealer facing a laundry list of crimes has been denied bail in Oklahoma County on his latest criminal charges.

JohnTV has reported many times on the despicable pile of flesh that is Gregory Keith Crawford Jr., aka ‘Pig.’

Most recently in Jan. of this year after JohnTV’s own Brian Bates distributed fliers in an upscale gated NE OKC neighborhood where Crawford was living while on bond for crimes allegedly committed in Cleveland County.

That effort was covered locally by KWTV News9’s Lisa Monahan (see video below).

At that time, Crawford, 39, was facing serious felony charges for possession of CDS, driving under suspension, failure to carry insurance and, most disturbing, aiding and abetting a minor in a drug crime.

Despite charges being filed in 2012, Crawford has yet to even have his preliminary hearing conference – which has now been set for Oct. 21 at 1:00 p.m.

Apparently Crawford didn’t get the message that he was facing serious jail time, because within days of Bates’ flier distribution, Crawford was arrested again and subsequently charged in Oklahoma County court with felony possession of meth with intent to distribute, possession of proceeds from drug dealing, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Crawford has a co-defendant in this case, identified as then 19-year-old Tawny Nicole Smith of Oklahoma City.

Crawford’s bond in Oklahoma County has been set at $40,500.

On Sept. 2, Crawford’s public defender (yeah, you and I are paying this turd’s legal bills) argued in front of Judge Ray Elliot for a bond reduction – that request was denied!

Crawford is next scheduled to appear before Judge Elliot on Sept. 24 for his preliminary hearing.

While Crawford cools his pimp, drug dealing heels in a jail cell, prosecutors are already trying to have two of his previous convictions that ended in probation revoked.

One is a 2011 conviction for felony concealing of stolen property. The other is for a 2009 conviction for felony possession of imitation dope with intent to distribute and driving with a revoked license.

Crawford’s adult criminal resume goes all the way back to when he was 19-years old and charged with trafficking cocaine in Oklahoma County.

Crawford has also been the target of Victim’s Protective Orders and pursued by the state of Oklahoma for being a deadbeat dad.

You can read a more complete profile of Crawford at this link.

Below is a JohnTV video compilation that clearly shows Crawford deserves to be locked up for a very long time.

JohnTV will continue to follow this case.

11/7/2014 (updated 11/10/2014) – OKC, OK — An ongoing undercover sting has so far resulted in the arrest of 20 people in Oklahoma City for prostitution related crimes.

JohnTV was the first to report on the arrests this past Tuesday after eight individuals were taken into custody around S. Robinson Ave. in south Oklahoma City.

Records reveal that the sting is a joint operation by members of the Oklahoma City Police Departments’ Vice Unit and the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs – Human Trafficking Unit.

As of this morning, according to jail police records, eleven more people have been arrested as the sting continues all week. This brings the running total to twelve men, six women and two individuals whose gender is ‘uncertain’ at this time booked into jail.

Below is an ad on Backpage.com that resulted in the arrest of Shante Monique McClain. McClain was also arrested in March of this year in Louisiana.

12/1/2014 – ABC affiliate KSWO out of Lawton recently aired a feature story on Oklahoma Human Sex Trafficking that spotlighted JohnTV and our own Video Vigilante Brian Bates.

Last week KSWO reporter Silvia Corkill aired a 7News Special Report entitled, ‘Oklahoma’s Secret Slaves‘ about human sex trafficking in our state.

The eight minute story focused on defining human sex trafficking within our state and exactly how our young people are vulnerable to falling victim to it.

Corkill utilized JohnTV video clips, in person interviews with Bates and several interviews with the heads of the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Human Trafficking Unit.

You can watch the story below…

12/7/2014 – Coalgate, OK (by Brian Bates) — I, along with many others, lost a good friend Friday.

Yvonne Alene Adcock was someone I met while documenting street prostitution on S. Robinson Ave. in south Oklahoma City.

I first met Yvonne in 2001. She was very much a street savvy woman who did her best to put up an emotionless front to hide her pain.

Yvonne never knew the love of a mother. You see, her mother was her first pimp and she sold Yvonne’s virginity in 1979, at the age of 12, to a truck driver.

The abuse continued for several years until Yvonne ran away. But she didn’t run far. She had been numbing the pain of being a child prostitute by using every manner of drug she could find.

She spent most of her life being rejected by those who should have loved her unconditionally and being used by men who wanted nothing more than 10 minutes in the back seat of their car.

Yvonne in 2002, “I’m going to die a nothing…”

Against all odds she pulled herself off the streets and away from addiction around 2004. She successfully graduated from both business school and beauty college soon thereafter.

Unable to find anyone that would employ a former drug addict, prostitute who spent time in prison, she started her own salon – A Brand New You.

Yvonne at her hair salon – A Brand New You – as featured on Nightline.

But she was unprepared for the additional burdens of a ‘straight life’ and she soon lost it all.

She disappeared for a time. But reemerged a stronger and more determined woman.

She reunited with the daughter she had long ago placed for adoption with a family friend. Yvonne married and settled down to a simpler life in Coalgate, Oklahoma.

Yvonne quickly became the face of human trafficking in Oklahoma. And while under the wing of the Salvation Army she spoke to audiences both large and small.

Yvonne addressing a large audience at an OKC human trafficking summit.

She shared her story in hope it would educate and empower those who would listen. And listen they did….

Yvonne was contacted almost daily by perfect strangers from around the world. And I call them “perfect” because that’s exactly how she saw everyone despite their flaws.

Yvonne with volunteers of No Boundaries Int’l and the Salvation Army.

Yvonne’s past though, and the stories of abuse others shared, continued to burden her… With the news of newly discovered brain tumors it simply became too much.

Yvonne made the decision to end her life the way she lived it… on her own terms.

Yvonne’s biggest fear was that she would “die a nothing.”

I truly hope as she left this Earth she was comforted with the fact she was the opposite of a nothing.

Yvonne refused to be defined as a victim. She was a fighter.

Yvonne, you did not die a nothing… You lived, despite a life of obstacles, abuse and abandonment. And, through it all you never lost your faith nor diminished your compassion for others in need.

You did not die a nothing…. You gave hope to so many with your unapologetic testimony.

You did not die a nothing…. Your wit and wisdom and sass made you an unforgettable friend to everyone you met.

Yvonne, you did not die a nothing.

Yvonne had become very close to volunteers and staff of No Boundaries International. In fact, one of NBI’s staff members was with Yvonne just hours before she died.

NBI hosted an informal evening of prayer and remembrance in Yvonne’s honor on Dec. 8. (covered by FOX25 News).

JohnTV’s Brian Bates setup a GoFundMe page to cover the cost of Yvonne’s cremation.

Yvonne’s memorial service in her hometown of Coalgate is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 20, 2014.

Colgate Assembly of God
206 West Clay Ave., Coalgate, OK 74538
11:00am

12/17/2014 – OKC, OK — Its no secret that JohnTV is no fan of guys who solicit prostitution in our city. It’s also no secret that the Oklahoma County District Attorney’s office is pretty useless when it comes to punishing prostitution customers (aka, ‘Johns’). Its well known that most convicted ‘Johns’ receive a fine of less than $60.

But, to be fair, most convicted ‘Johns’ are also first time offenders will little or no other criminal history.

However, considering the maximum punishment for solicitation of prostitution (even a first time offense) is up to a year in jail, a $2,500 fine, $1,900 vehicle impound fee, court costs of $500-$1,000, $40/month DA supervision fee, geographic restrictions, health assessments, and up to 80-hours of community service – you’d expect we’d at least reserve some of that for the scummiest of those within our society? Like, I don’t know, multiple time convicted felons and registered sex offenders???

Apparently not.

Back in April of 2013 JohnTV reported on a S. Robinson Ave. prostitution sting that resulted in the arrest of 11 individuals.

One of those individuals was 29-year-old Jesse Lee Johnson of Oklahoma City.

Johnson, was definitely not a first time offender.

In fact, as pointed out in our March 2014 article, Johnson is a lifetime registered sex offender with a lengthy criminal resume that includes arrests and/or convictions for rape of a child, vehicle theft, obstructing a police officer, possession of a firearm, burglary, larceny, domestic abuse in the presence of a minor, drug offenses and felony larceny.

Johnson was arrested in April of 2013, and subsequently criminally charged in May of that same year with misdemeanor offering to engage.

Being the consistent delinquent that he is, Johnson failed to appear at his Feb. 2014 court date and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

On Sept 29 Johnson pleaded guilty… And, keeping in mind Johnson’s status as a lifetime registered sex offender, long criminal history, inability to even show up for court and the fact he was soliciting prostitution in an area known as a place were the most destitute sell themselves either by force or by choice, what do you think Oklahoma County Assistant DA Michelle McElwee thought was an appropriate punishment? Maybe at least half of the maximum allowable jail time? No? Okay, half of the allowable maximum fine? No, again. Okay, a long probation with DA supervision fees and court costs and maybe a little community service? Nope, nada, zip…

ADA McElwee apparently has a soft spot for Johnson’s dreamy brown eyes and “White Boy” tattoo because she agreed to a sentence of six months of probation and absolutely no fine, no court costs and no probation fees.

Probation! This scum bag is already a lifetime registered sex offender with a felony record. He’s supposed to already be on probation the rest of his life…. The prosecutor didn’t even make his probation come with supervision! This turd literally got a lighter sentence than first time offenders with no prior record at all.

The only positive note seems to be that after JohnTV pointed out (in our March article) that Johnson was a registered sex offender living next door to a elementary school – he apparently relocated to 1312 SE 42nd Street. A home that public records show belongs to a Laura Johnson.

So, the next time a member or law enforcement or the Oklahoma County District Attorneys Office publicly claims to give a rats ass about positively impacting the demand side of prostitution and human trafficking, remember this case. And if Johnson’s hug-a-thug sentence isn’t proof enough, JohnTV has a laundry list of other examples.

1/6/2014 – OKC, OK — A former Oklahoma City small time pimp and drug dealer has been sentenced to over a decade in prison with his latest criminal conviction.

JohnTV has reported several times on local degenerate Ardavan “Eddie” Ahmadpour.

Ahmadpour, 45, is well known to JohnTV as a woman beater and pimp.

While going through court records over the past several months we were reminded of Ahmadpour’s most recent prosecution for meth possession and maintaining a dwelling where drugs are kept.

JohnTV last reported on Ahmadpour in June of last year after he was returned to custody on a $700,000+ bond.

According to court records, on Oct. 14 of last year, Ahmadpour pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 12-years in prison.

This isn’t Ahmadpour’s first stint in prison. Ahmadpour’s criminial record goes back to at least the 1980’s when he served time for armed robbery.

When on S. Robinson Ave. in south OKC, Ahmadpour could most often be found pimping out 32-year-old Diann R. Killian.

Killian often spoke to JohnTV and usually expressed her fear of Ahmadpour and often had the bruises to back up her fears.

Killian was convicted in Oklahoma County in 2011 for separate charges of burglary, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery on a police officer and prostitution.

Killian was sentenced to 12-years in prison total.

Killian picked up another conviction in Dec. of 2013 for felony escape from a penal institution.

Ahmadpour’s first parole hearing date is set for Aug. of 2018.

8/4/2015 – OKC, OK — Notorious Oklahoma City pimp and human sex trafficker Mario Diaz is denied his latest effort to shorten his current prison sentence. JohnTV’s own Video Vigilante Brian Bates confronts Diaz (and a bully, possibly racist D.O.C. guard) as Diaz is escorted back to prison.

JohnTV has several times reported on the violent past of Mario Diaz and his very profitable prostitution and human sex trafficking ring that he operated with his pimping mentor Germaine Coulter. (see bottom of article for links to other articles)

Mario Diaz’s profile from the Okla. Dept. of Corrections.

On Aug. 20, 2013 Diaz pled guilty in an Oklahoma County courtroom to felony racketeering charges and also separate charges of domestic abuse with great bodily injury and intimidation of a state’s witness – all directly tied to Diaz’s prostitution and human trafficking efforts. Despite evidence that Diaz was an incredibly violent pimp who made over $200,000/month, literally off the backs of women, the Oklahoma County DA’s office agreed to a sentence of only 10-years in custody, followed by 10-years of probation. Diaz never faced criminal prosecution for actual pimping or human sex trafficking and will not have to register as a sex offender upon eventual release from prison.

At the time of sentencing, the Oklahoma County DA’s office also agreed to a ‘judicial review’ to be held on Aug. 3, 2015. A judicial review is an opportunity for a defendant to try and convince a judge to reduce their current sentence.

JohnTV’s own Brian Bates was in the courtroom yesterday when Diaz and his attorney made their plea for a reduction in Diaz’s current sentence. Also present were 13 friends and family of Diaz’s who came to show their support for him. Bates recognized several of those in attendance; a niece, brother, sister-inlaw, cousins and Diaz’s mother, among others.

Oklahoma County Judge Ray Elliot was brief in his response to the motion… “I’ve read the law and its clear. I can’t modify your sentence unless the District Attorney’s office agrees to the modification and they have indicated they do not. So, I can’t modify your sentence. Motion denied.” Judge Elliot went on to tell Diaz that even if the DA’s office agreed to the modification he probably would not have granted one because the prison report on Diaz indicates he has received two misconducts while in custody (most likely for fighting, marijuana or an illegal cell phone he is known to be using on a regular basis).

Below is a special America’s Most Wanted that featured Diaz just days before his 2012 arrest…

In reality, nothing about the motion being denied was unexpected (except maybe to Diaz and his supporters!). The law is pretty spelled out; the DA’s office was clear they didn’t agree to the modification and having two misconducts is almost a guarantee to not having your sentence modified. JohnTV just wonders how much money Diaz’s supporters spent wasting everyone’s time?

But, it wasn’t a total waste. Things got interesting after the hearing.

As Diaz’s supporters happened to be standing quietly in the hallway on the 7th floor of the Oklahoma County Courthouse, a DOC guard escorting Diaz came out and told everyone they needed to leave (for safety reasons) before they could bring Diaz out of the courtroom. Call it coincidence or call it racism, but all of Diaz supporters were either black or Hispanic and all were made to leave the public space they were quietly occupying. JohnTV’s Brian Bates (who is white) was also standing in the hall (only 10 feet from Diaz’s supporters – and sat with Diaz’s supporters in the courtroom) and was not asked to leave the public space.

After all the minority members of the public were forced to leave the area, the (white) DOC guard escorted Diaz to the elevator. That is when Bates started recording Diaz and a minor confrontation began between Bates and the possibly racist DOC guard. You can see that interaction below…

JohnTV is at the courthouse often, and hundreds of prisoners are escorted through the public halls weekly. These same halls are most often filled with supporters, detractors, uninvolved members of the public and the media. Many of which are being loud, wielding cameras, etc. At no time have we EVER seen a guard order the public out of a public space so they can move a prisoner to an elevator – much less all the minority members of the public. There was no legal reason for the guard to act the way he did towards Diaz’s family, friends and supporters.

Despite Diaz’s motion being denied, he is actually up for possible parole this October.

JohnTV will be organizing a letter writing campaign to try and convince the pardon and parole board not to grant Diaz parole.

8/6/2015 (updated 8/7/2015) – OKC, OK — Its a historic moment for JohnTV, citizen activists and drone enthusiasts alike. Caught on camera – The first ever Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV, aka, ‘drone’) capture of a street prostitution related act of public lewdness. And, its brought to you by the original Video Vigilante and JohnTV founder, Brian Bates.

It all went down (so to speak) back in March of this year. Bates was doing what he’s been doing for almost 20-years – documenting street prostitution in Oklahoma City and exposing the offenders – when the perfect opportunity presented itself to utilize a drone in his anti-prostitution and sex trafficking efforts.

Since you’re probably dying to see the video, here it is…

We know, we know, you’ve got questions…. “When the hell did JohnTV get a drone?” “Why did you guys wait so long to post this video?” “Is this even legal?” and “Are we going to see more videos like this?” (five years ago, its complicated, yes, probably not)

First, JohnTV has experimented with drones for going on five years now. JohnTV Facebook friends will remember these posts from back in 2010 when Bates was trying out a Parrot AR drone near SW 34 and S. Robinson.

Those early attempts at drone usage were pretty pathetic. Between the pitifully short operating distance and poor video quality, JohnTV’s hopes of ‘Busted From the Skies’ moments were barely even getting off the ground.

Then a couple of years ago Bates purchased a DJI Phantom 2 drone. This much higher quality drone seemed to be just what JohnTV was looking for. So, Bates packed his shiny new drone into his car and hit the road – and he waited, and waited, and waited. The problem is, using a drone in this manner is not as simple or as safe as one would think.

For years, people (including police officers) have been suggesting that Bates use drone technology in his efforts to curb street prostitution, raise awareness and expose the offenders. It seems pretty logical right? Running up and opening car doors of people engaging in criminal acts is pretty damn dangerous. At least three people Bates has caught on camera were later convicted of committing murder and several of the women Bates has documented over the years have themselves been murdered by some of the very pimps and Johns Bates encounters. Why not reduce the risk of personal injury and simply let a drone go in for the “You’re Busted Buddy” moment?

Well, then there’s reality…. Until you’ve piloted a drone in an urban setting and under the stress of knowing you’re getting ready to confront individuals engaged in criminal acts you have no idea how difficult it is and how much must be taken into consideration to ensure your own and the public’s safety – and all of this while obeying the law.

Locally, NBC affiliate KFOR News Channel 4 touched on the legality and privacy issues in a news story the same day JohnTV announced it was publishing the video…

So, there you have it. Drone usage is legal and pretty much unregulated in Oklahoma City so get out there and start busting some criminals! Not so fast….

JohnTV actually waited this long to post the video because there were real concerns that the public would take this as an endorsement of such use of drone technology and we really wanted to weigh the pros and cons of posting the video.

As Bates soon realized, there are a ton of factors that must all come together and go off without a hitch for someone to be successful in using a drone to document criminal activity.

For one, you better be pretty confident before you even launch your drone that the individuals you’re targeting are actually doing something illegal (otherwise your efforts just come off as more creepy to your critics). Then you need to unpack, power-up and calibrate your drone. While this is going on you also need to be VERY aware of your surroundings – what obstacles are in your immediate area (trees, power lines, structures) and are there any people around.

All of this takes time. Time that is often not in your favor when you’re dealing with a criminal act that will probably be over within six or seven minutes.

But the concerns don’t stop once you’re airborne.

Now you have to orient yourself, locate your suspects and navigate towards them – all while maintaining a visual of your drone and continuing to avoid any obstacles.

At this point something becomes very clear – or not clear, depending on how you look at it – At 200+ feet in the air you can’t tell what the hell is going on on the ground with your suspects. Because of the wide angle of the drone’s lens, people are barely more than speckled dots on the ground. So, you have to go in close. This brings up even more considerations….

For one, all those obstacles you can safely avoid at 200 feet are now a potential lethal hazard to your drone when you drop to say 30 feet. And, because you’re now flying so low, you need to either be on public property or private property you have permission to be on. The most concerning element though is the physical safety of anyone in the immediate area. So, if your suspects are out of their car you need to stay way back and not fly directly over them.

Bates says he won’t approach suspects with his UAV unless they are inside their vehicle and therefore protected from being accidentally hit by the drone should it fall out of the sky.

Collage of images from JohnTV’s first ever drone bust.

Bates says even after all that, there is still a safety concern that he has yet to find a solution to. “When you’re piloting a drone your complete focus and attention is on flying the drone safely. So, you develop a sort of tunnel vision and often don’t notice anything else going on around you. This is a scary reality when you’re placing yourself near criminal activity. A pimp or someone else who means you harm can easily walk or drive up and I’d be a sitting duck. I’d literally never see it coming,” says Bates.

That fact, along with general safety concerns is why Bates says that despite over 200 hours in the air, the video above is the only ‘busted’ moment he has ever captured with his drone and only the third time he’s launched it in that effort.

Bates says JohnTV fans shouldn’t expect more drone busts in the future. “The use of the drone is really a last resort. I used it in this instance because there was obviously someone else following this prostitute and her ‘John’ and their presence made it ill-advised for me to approach on foot,” says Bates.

Bates says he prefers to use his drone to capture more mundane footage and make it available for wider awareness applications.

Most recently Bates shot aerial footage of S. Robinson Ave. and the intersections of I-35 and I-40 for a local anti-human trafficking non-profit. That group plans to use the footage in public service announcements to show the transient nature of human traffickers and how the intersection of these two major highways is one of the reasons Oklahoma City is often frequented by adult and child sex traffickers.

Bates drone bust footage has been made available to law enforcement for investigation and prosecution.

Below is a behind the scenes clip from the KFOR News Channel 4 interview posted above. In the middle of my interview with Ali Meyer, the cops showed up – two marked patrol units and a bicycle patrol officer (all with lights and sirens). Apparently someone called 911 claiming they saw someone with a gun and people with their hands up.

3/15/2015 – Katy, TX — A former high ranking member of a notorious prostitution and human trafficking ring has been arrested and charged with prostitution in Katy, Texas.

Brandie Juanita Stanley was reportedly criminally charged with one misdemeanor count of prostitution in Harris County court today.

Stanley, 25, listed her current address in the 5300 block of Mountain Forest Dr. in Katy, TX.

Below is a screen shot of the actual online court record (click for larger image)…

JohnTV has previously reported on Stanley and her association with the infamous Germaine Coulter prostitution and human trafficking ring – run out of upscale homes in Oklahoma City and Edmond back in 2012.

Coulter is a violent predator pimp who used nice homes, fancy cars and lots of cash to lure women into selling their bodies for his financial benefit.

Coulter’s criminal enterprise was run by a handful of high ranking female prostitutes whom he used to recruit young women and keep those within his ranks in-line.

Stanley was one of Coulter’s ‘bottom bitches.’

Brandie Juanita Stanley (aka, Johnson).

Not much is known about Stanley’s Texas arrest.

In Oklahoma County, Stanley’s criminal resume includes 2010 convictions for separate cases of misdemeanor prostitution, misdemeanor prostitution and drug possession, engaging in an act of lewdness, and felony deferred sentences for prostitution and computer crimes.

All four of those cases were wrapped up in one court appearance and – as is often the case in a DA’s office run by hug-a-thug District Attorney David Prater – Stanley was only given a $30 fine and one year of probation.

Stanley was arrested in 2008 in Oklahoma City as a part of the FBI’s national crackdown on child trafficking, dubbed Operation Cross Country II.

Stanley is next scheduled to appear in Harris County court on April 12, 2016.

Below are two videos of Stanley prostituting on or near S. Robinson Ave. in south Oklahoma City. In one of the videos Stanley is also seen prostituting at a truck stop near NW 122nd and N. I-35. These videos were taken in 2009 after JohnTV was asked to by law enforcement to help compile evidence of Coulter’s criminal organization and Stanley’s involvement as a high ranking member.

This video depicts Stanley allegedly showing a new prostitution recruit how to sell herself…

Below is a compilation video of Stanley…

12/27/2015 – Orange County, CA — California prosecutors have announced they will be seeking the death penalty against one of two registered sex offenders who are charged with the rapes and serial killings of four women – one of whom was a well documented Oklahoma City street prostitute.

Steven Dean Gordon, 46, of Anaheim, was indicted by a grand jury on Oct. 2, 2014.

Gordon is charged with four felony counts of special circumstances murder during the commission of rape, kidnapping lying in wait, and multiple murders. Gordon is also charged with four felony counts of forcible rape.

According to a Dec. 11, 2015 press release by the Orange County District Attorney’s office; a special circumstances committee consisting of the District Attorney and others met to discuss the nature of the alleged crimes, the vulnerability of the victims, Gordon’s criminal record and other factors.

The result of the special circumstances committee was that if found guilty, Gordon should face the ultimate penalty – death.

No announcement has been made as to Gordon’s co-defendant, Franc Cano, 29, also of Anaheim.

Cano faces the same criminal charges as Gordon.

JohnTV first broke the news of the murder of 21-year-old single mother and street prostitute Jarrae Nikole Estepp, of Oklahoma City, back in March of 2014.

Estepp had reportedly traveled from Oklahoma City to Lawton, and from there to Anaheim.

While in California, Estepp was seen engaging in street prostitution.

The details surrounding Estepp’s kidnapping, rape, murder and the discovery of her body are horrific. You can read more in the Dec. 9, 2014 article by JohnTV.

On March 14, 2014 Estepp’s badly mutilated body was discovered on a conveyor belt by workers at a recycling plant in east Anaheim.

Less than a month later Gordon and Cano had been arrested and criminally charged with Estepp and three other women’s murders.

Prosecutors contend that the four women, who all had a history of prostitution and/or drug use, were murdered from Oct. of 2013 to March of 2014.

Gordon and Cano’s victims have been identified as; Kianna Jackson, 20, Josephine Vargas, 34, Martha Anaya, 28, and Jarrae Estepp, 21.

Kianna Jackson, Josephine Vargas & Martha, Anaya.

Estepp’s body is the only body of the four women to have been discovered. Prosecutors believe all four women were murdered at the same Anaheim paint and body shop and disposed of in trash bins.

According to the grand jury transcript, Gordon previously confessed to detectives and even claimed to have murdered a fifth female – who has yet to be identified.

Gordon is next scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 22, 2016 for a pre-trial hearing.

Cano is next set to appear in court on Jan. 29, 2016.

JohnTV will continue to follow this case.

4/4/2016 – A Woodard man, who used to work for the Oklahoma Dept. of Corrections, was arrested earlier this year in Oklahoma City for soliciting street prostitution. He was officially charged with the crime last week.

According to court records, members of the Oklahoma City Police Department’s Vice Unit were conducting a sting near SW 43 and S. Robinson Ave. back on Feb. 4th of this year. That is when police claim 69 year old Doyle George Ford of Woodward rolled up and allegedly solicited an undercover female police officer posing as a street prostitute.

It was around 6:30 p.m. when Ford allegedly offered the undercover female officer $40 in exchange for oral sex.

Ford was then stopped by surveillance officers and taken into custody.

Doyle Ford’s prostitution arrest probable cause affidavit.

Last Thursday formal criminal charges were filed against Ford in Oklahoma County court. Ford now faces a misdemeanor offering to engage charge.

According to Ford’s publicly accessible Facebook page, he is married with at least one child.

In a bit of irony, Ford posted this to his own Facebook wall less than 24-hours before his prostitution arrest (and his wife responded in kind – the next day, and just hours before her husband’s arrest)….

Doyle Ford’s public Facebook post 24-hours before his prostitution arrest.

Doyle lists himself as currently ‘retired’, but having worked previously for the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.

JohnTV sent a message via Facebook to both Ford and his wife asking them for any comment – we never heard back.

No other criminal record for Ford could be found.

4/13/2016 – OKC, OK — A Warr Acres man busted having sex with a Robinson Ave. prostitute by JohnTV’s own Video Vigilante Brian Bates is formally charged with the crime.

Back on Jan. 26 of this year Bates witnessed several women engaging in street prostitution along south Oklahoma City’s notorious South Robinson Ave.

Just before 3 p.m. a white Ford F250 pickup truck stops and a known older Caucasian female jumped into the passenger side of the truck.

The truck then drove directly to a field located on the southeast corner of SE 44th St. and S. Eastern Ave.

Bates parked his vehicle and approached the truck on foot – with his camera rolling.

Bates opened the truck’s passenger side door to confront the older male driver and the street prostitute.

As the truck speeds away you can see the woman grab her dentures off the dashboard and put them back into her mouth.

A copy of the video, along with a written report, was turned over to a member of the Oklahoma City Police Department’s Vice Unit for investigation.

The driver was identified as 72-year-old James Lee Black. Black’s address is listed in the 6900 block of N. Lake Front Dr. in the Twin Lakes addition of Warr Acres in NW Oklahoma City.

Yesterday formal criminal charges were filed against Black in Oklahoma County for a single misdemeanor count of engaging in an act of public lewdness.

The female street prostitute has yet to be identified.

Below is the video shot by Bates.
