Donald Clifton Allen Jr. in YouTube video
A local pimp, who created a homemade reality TV show on YouTube about his exploits and take on life, faces trial in federal court.
Robert Snell of the Detroit News writes that Detroiter Donald Clifton Allen Jr., aka “D’Nero Armani,” is scheduled to stand trial in December in a case that will feature video clips of his YouTube reality show “D’Nero’s Player Show” and explicit movies, including one of an underage prostitute.
The charges include possession of child pornography, sexually exploiting children and sex trafficking.
Snell reports that Allen appeared in federal court in Ann Arbor on Sept. 17 for a hearing, and that he's been behind bars for three years while awaiting trial.
Some of the YouTube videos have been removed because they "violated YouTube's terms of service." It appears many of the videos were produced between 2009 and 2011. -- Allan Lengel
