An Instagram account for the California woman self-branded 'Pretty Hoe' seemingly bragged about the sex trafficking charges brought against her after she admitted forcing women into sex acts.
Melanie Denae Williams, 23, pleaded guilty to the charge Monday as part of deal that could see her face up to 15 years in prison. She told authorities she used her accounts online to lure in two vulnerable people who were underage.
Some victims she beat, covered in bleach and threatened to kill if they tried to leave.
A prostitute who dubbed herself 'Pretty Hoe' was charged with sex trafficking in March but has now taken a plea deal for up to 15 years in prison
Melanie Denae Williams was charged with recruiting minors to be hookers
Going by the moniker on Instagram where her bio labels her the 'most hated hoe in LA', the South Los Angeles woman's account last week posted a video of herself dancing to music during a car journey with a caption featuring to laughing emoji: 'aINt yOu suPpoSeD tO bE iN jAiL' f**k off my page.'
It's not clear whether Williams herself shared the clip.
After being arrested Christmas Eve 2017, she was charged in March this year.
Williams had boasted about her behavior by posting videos of herself 'physically beating and using firearms to threaten young women', an affidavit states.
One post on Snapchat stated in all caps: 'I'm not scared of jail so stop telling me anything about the MF police.'

An Instagram post under Williams' handle said: 'Who 18+ & wanna make some legit money?'
The affidavit filed with the charges does not offer details about the minors Williams allegedly recruited, though it was noted that she is part of a child exploitation task force.
In this new plea she admitted she would retain the proceeds from minors' sex acts for her own benefit.

She is due in federal court January 28 for a sentencing hearing regarding fraudulently and forcefully coercing victims. She previously faced life behind bars but it likely to get a lesser sentence.
The United States Department of Justice states: 'Williams also forced the victim to get Williams' name tattooed on her face, confiscated the victim's belongings and identity documents and continually threatened to kill the victim if she left Williams.'
The victim was also forced to get the name 'Melanie' etched into her wrist.
Williams herself is brandished with the name 'Christopher' on her face.
