These guys have a future in adult entertainment.

CHICAGO from www.wbbm780.com — Twin teenage brothers from south suburban Dolton forced teenage girls to have sex with strangers, collected all of the cash proceeds and beat at least one girl who was uncooperative, authorities allege.

Myrelle Lockett and Tyrelle Lockett, both 17, of the 14800 block of Irving Street in Dolton are each charged with trafficking in persons for forced labor or services, involuntary sexual servitude of a minor and involuntary servitude, all felonies, according to a release from the Cook County Sheriff’s office.

Tyrelle Lockett was arrested late Friday outside a south suburban hotel where undercover vice officers had arranged to meet one of the teenage victims. Myrelle Lockett was arrested after a follow-up investigation also linked him to human trafficking teen girls, the release said.

Bond was set on Monday at $100,000 each and the brothers remained in a medium-security division of the Cook County Jail as of Tuesday afternoon, the release said.

The investigation started Friday when sheriff’s detectives responded to an ad on Backpage — a Web site similar to craigslist for selling merchandise and seeking services. The ad promised sex for cash and provided a picture of a girl who turned out to be one of the teenage victims, the release said.

Through e-mails, the officers arranged to meet the girl at a hotel in the 17300 block of South Oak Avenue in Lansing. When undercover officers arrived, they saw Tyrelle Lockett standing in front of the hotel with the teenage girl. When the officer went into the designated hotel room and met the girl, there were obvious and visible signs she had been a victim of repeated violence, the release said.

After an agreement was reached to exchange sex for cash, the officer took the girl into custody. Nearby officers arrested Tyrelle Lockett, who had nearly all of the girl’s personal items and investigators learned he refused to allow her to access any of it unless she performed the acts he demanded.

A weekend investigation led to the arrest of his brother, Myrelle Lockett. At that time, officers also found another teenage girl being trafficked by Myrelle Lockett.

Through interviews and tracking of the brothers’ online and phone activity, investigators alleged they had been trafficking teenage girls through various hotels throughout the south suburbs. Ads posted for the girls included rates as high as $300 an hour, though investigators learned the victims got none of the money or only a portion by the Locketts.

The Locketts told investigators they attend separate alternative high schools in the south suburbs, and met at least one of the girls while attending an alternative sentencing program on unrelated offenses, according to the release. It is not known whether the brothers trafficked any of their female schoolmates.

The girls have been referred to Women’s Justice Services, which provides counseling, links to assistance and other rehabilitative services.

The brothers are set to appear in court again on June 14.
