Maggie Elizabeth Thompson, age 18, was arrested last night for prostitution, carrying a concealed weapon and resisting a police officer. As I normally do, I took a look at her prior arrests. Come to find out... Maggie Thompson has been prostituting herself since she was 16 years old! I have a hard time looking at the arrest records when I see a young woman who has been arrested for prostitution 7 times before her 18th birthday! This is very, very sad.Please note the amount of time she has spent in jail. Obviously, she was not bailed out when she was arrested like the violent criminals are. On a few of arrests, her address is listed as "homeless." How does this happen? What can be done to help these young women who prostitute themselves or young men who carry guns to school? I am saddened to have to report this kind of stuff but I think it is important for people to know what is happening in Charlotte.
