Cops over the weekend said they arrested a 23-year-old who put a young girl under the age of 12 into prostitution and sexually assaulted her.

The suspect was ID'd as Michael Vincent Pree, who was arrested at his L.A. home Wednesday by the Innocence Lost Task Force, according to the LAPD.

Here's what the department alleges happened, according to an LAPD statement:

The unidentified victim, who was under age 12, was allegedly contacted by Pree. He allegedly took the victim to his residence and forced her to engage in sexual intercourse with him on numerous occasions over the course of one week.
Pree also allegedly forced the victim to work as a street-walking prostitute over the course of the same week, according to the LAPD.

Pree was charged with "aggravated sexual assault of a minor, pimping and pandering and multiple counts of lewd acts upon a child," according to the department.

He is not, however, in jail.

The suspect posted $50,000 bail Thursday. He's due in court Jan. 12.

The task force includes the LAPD, the FBI, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, the U.S. Attorney's Office, and the Department of Homeland Security.

Anyone with more info about the suspect was asked to call the task force at 800-655-4095.

Let's put it like this predators come in all shapes and colors and in a childs mind they are disguised as "MONSTERS". I am a mother and most molesters are family bonded but have other sides to themselves. Fathers are the first suspects in any round of abuse and some don't touch they own but touch others. His wife is very blinded by his nasty penis he pushes at her and men know what they do to females when they are doing it. But believe MANY predators are released as innocent even after everything is unfolded

WHAT HAPPENED TO INNOCENT UNTIL BEING PROVEN GUILTY! THE LITTLE GIRL WAS NOT LIVING WITH HIM IN HIS HOME! HE HAS A WIFE & KIDS LIVING WITH HIM IN HIS HOME. THE BAIL IS ONLY 50K SO OBVIOUSLY THEY DID NOT CHARGE HIM WITH THERE EVERYTHING THE MEDIA IS STATING THEY CHARGED HIM WITH & OBVIOUSLY THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO CHARGE HIM WITH IT! PREE WORKS TWO FULLTIME JOBS & TAKES CARE OF HIS CHILDREN. THERE IS NO WAY HE COULD HAVE HAD TIME TO PIMP THIS LITTLE GIRL. SHE IS SIMPLY SCARED TO TELL ON HER REAL PIMP & THROUGH PREE'S NAME OUT THERE TO PLACE BLAME ON TO SOME ONE.

Innocent until proven guilty is in a court of law. Not on a blog. Blogs are basically the opinion of the blogger running it.

And are you serious??? They wouldn't have arrested him, held him, and set bail at all without evidence. If she was simply throwing his name out there, how did she know him in the first place. He'd have to be pretty stupid to move the 11 year old little girl he's pimping out into the same home he shares with his wife and children. But then, maybe he should have considered what it would do to his wife and kids before he decided to rape and pimp out a child.

BTW, please ditch the tardcaps. You're asininity is annoying enough without them.

Michael Pree is an innocent man. He is a father of two & a loving husband. These allegations are not true. Please pray for him & especially his wife & two kids who are suffering from the whole situation.

In who's mind is innocent??? Fuck that bitch nigga! A child is a child! Niggas gone run a train on him like he did that kid!

No fuck that when i see you i am gonna fuck the shit out of your butt thats the homie you talkin bout cuz on 40crip

I wonder how much of that bail money came from pimping out little girls. Apparently they get more for little girls. I wonder if the judge who set bail is worried whether or not he's out there right now, raping or pimping out little girls. People like this should be shot. I think it would solve so many of the world's problems.

GodChild

your comment is ignorant. This man has a wife & kids that did nothing to deserve this. These allegations are not true. The trial will prevail his innocence. Fortunately we live in a country that says your INNOCENT until proven guilty.

Oh, Good Lord... they always have to show up to defend the perverts and abusers, don't they. And, BTW, your comment shows your complete lack of understanding of our judicial system.

First of all, being married means jack shit. Having children means jack shit, except that there are children that are being influenced by a pervert, and that's just horrifying. No, his wife and kids did nothing to deserve this, but he is to blame for anything they go through, not the people who are spreading awareness of his (*ahem* "alleged") crimes. And even if he weren't raping and pimping this little girl, he is guilty of kidnapping. No adult should have the underage child of another person in their home without the parent's knowledge/permission.

LE obviously has proof of his criminal activity involving this child. Where's your proof of his innocence? Stating that he's a husband and father is proof of absolutely nothing.
