The U.S. Attorney's Office in Philadelphia says Craig Johnson, a/k/a "Geez," a 42-year-old from Philadelphia, operated a prostitution venture in Philadelphia where he allegedly recruited two juveniles, 15 and 16, to work as prostitutes.

Johnson also created internet ads where he advertised females available for sex.
