EL CERRITO — It started with promises of $5,000 and new business opportunities, and ended with reports of a woman “crying hysterically” outside the El Cerrito Del Norte BART station, according to court records.
‘When you hit something, it blows up’: He stayed in an Oakland houseboat and sold guns from the marina, feds saySuspect in 2014 homicide charged in Oakland crack/gun bust Now, the man who police say convinced a woman to fly to the Bay Area from Georgia in the hopes of getting into the auto business and becoming a “content model” for the adult subscription site OnlyFans has been sentenced to two years in prison, court records show. The police investigation started on March 17, when someone called police from the BART station reporting a woman was crying and said she’d just been “forced to do something she did not want to do,” authorities said in court filings. The woman told authorities that a man, later identified as 31-year-old JeanPierre Joseph, had told her that she could be a “content model” with Joseph’s girlfriend and that he’d fly her to Oakland and pay her $5,000. The two met on the social media app Tagged, authorities said. Joseph was originally charged with forcible oral copulation, false imprisonment, and assault. In a plea deal, he pleaded no contest to the false imprisonment and assault charges, and the oral copulation count was dropped, court records show. What followed after the woman agreed to fly to the Bay Area was a situation that got progressively scarier, until she was assaulted. The woman claimed she was ostensibly supposed to go a beauty parlor, but instead was taken to Joseph’s “car business” and given lingerie and heels to put on. Then they drove to a second location, into Contra Costa County, where she began to have a panic attack out of fear she was being trafficked. Joseph’s girlfriend allegedly then gave her a pill to calm her down, authorities said. Once they were at an undisclosed East Bay residence, Joseph allegedly told the woman she owed him “two videos” and that she needed to orally copulate him on camera. He told her he posted the footage to OnlyFans and social media, then forced her to orally copulate him a second time as he drove to the BART station, where he dropped her off, authorities said. Joseph was transferred to North Kern State Prison on Aug. 26, court records show. He was given credit for about a month he spent in jail while the case was pending.A Concord police officer collided with preschool teacher in a marked crosswalk.
