Versace robe-wearing pimp who bragged about his sordid acts online is jailed for human trafficking
A Versace-wearing Washington man has been convicted of trafficking and beating his girlfriend after he bragged about the illegal act and flaunted his wealth online.
Cedric Dorsey II, 32, of Bellevue, who goes by CCC Cash Chasen Ced online, was found guilty of human trafficking, promoting prostitution, and unlawful possession of a firearm this week.
Dorsey will spend 35 years in prison for forcing his girlfriend to perform sex work to make money for himself.
His crimes were discovered after police were called to his home in 2024 for a domestic violence call in April 2024 and officers discovered signs of human trafficking, KOMO News reported.
'They listened to what that victim was saying, and things weren't adding up, and she was in a very dangerous situation,' Bellevue Police Major Ellen Inman told the outlet.
The victim told police Dorsey had 'purchased a hotel room for her and her "ads" posted, and then she began seeing sex buyers,' a police report said.
Dorsey would book the rooms for his girlfriend, who was not identified, so he could 'control everything,' the report said.
'For a large percentage of prostitution dates, Dorsey required [the victim] to obtain a deposit from a sex buyer to verify they were not law enforcement.'

He prostituted the young woman in several cities, including Seattle, Bellevue, and Las Vegas, among others.
He also stomped on the woman's face and beat her several times, causing hospitalization.
Dorsey also promoted his illegal acts online in several videos.
'I'm so pimpish,' he said in one.
In other videos, he's seen holding stacks of one hundred bills, showing off his metal grill, and flashy jewelry.
'I really take care of my b**ches, you know,' he said in another. 'I went to sleep and told my thang to go get me some money, you know what I'm saying. So she was DMing for like six hours, you hear what I'm saying.
'And yeah, she came back with a thousand,' he proudly said. 'Oh yeah, pimping, yeah. That's how it goes.'
Prosecutors said his flashy lifestyle was built off the trafficking he put his girlfriend through.
Police also found $12,000 in cash inside his home when they executed a search warrant, as well as, three firearms, including an AK-47.
In May 2024, a SWAT team surrounded his apartment. He declined to come outside until his mother was involved in the process, Law and Crime reported.
Dorsey had prior felony convictions for theft, burglary, attempting to elude police, retail theft, and more.
'It's really important that traffickers are held accountable because if they aren't they will constantly seek other women to exploit,' Braelah McGinnis, of the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office, told KOMO.
'This is very important for the community, this is happening in our backyards. These are our women and young men.'
