2/15/2016 – Tulsa, OK — A Oklahoma City drug dealer and suspected pimp was arrested earlier this month in Tulsa after he allegedly tried to lure two underage girls into prostituting themselves for his benefit.
According to court records, William Jeffrey Johnson Jr., 26, responded to an ad placed on Backpage.com by two supposed minors, ages 15 and 16 – with the intent on working them as prostitutes (see actual ad at the bottom of this article).
In reality, the Feb. 2 online ad was placed by undercover officer’s with Tulsa’s Vice Unit.
According to court records, the ad advertised a “busty” 26-year-old by the name of “London” who “will do what your wife won’t,” and quoted fees ranging from $65 to $150.
Around 10 p.m. Johnson replied to the faux prostitution ad and inquired if ‘London’ was solo or single. The undercover officer indicated that she was only 16 and had a friend with her that was 15. You can read the entire text conversation at the bottom of this article.
Johnson then asked if the two young girls were “looking for a pimp or a handsome man who had his head on straight.”
When the undercover female officer indicated she was still in school, Johnson replied “If you are in school how will you work every day and make the money we need?” Johnson then encouraged the girl to drop out of school because she could make more money.
Johnson told the girls he would help them get their GED if they dropped out and would buy them a car.
Johnson later asked if the girl’s mother would be likely to call the cops.
Johnson told the girl she had to make at least $300 a day to pay his bills and that he preferred if she made $1,000 each day.
Johnson sent the undercover officer his name and photograph via text.
Johnson then made arrangements to meet the two young girls at a Tulsa motel around 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 5.
When Johnson showed up at a Tulsa motel, he was taken into custody by uniformed officers waiting in the bathroom.

Last Friday Johnson was formally charged in Tulsa County with felony pandering and solicitation of a minor through electronic means.
Oklahoma County records show that Johnson has received three deferred sentences on two different cases involving drug dealing in Oklahoma City (link to case one | link to case two). In fact, Johnson was arrested just one day after his five-year Oklahoma County probation ended.
Johnson’s bond has been set at $15,000 on the solicitation of a minor charge and $2,500 on the pandering/human trafficking charge.
Online records show that Johnson lists a home address in the 3800 block of Penny Drive in Oklahoma City (Midwest City).
