STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CAUSE Complainant, a licensed peace officer with the Minnetonka Police Department, has investigated the facts and circumstances of this offense and believes the following establishes probable cause: During the month of January 2017, police officers observed a commercial sex advertisement of a female in lingerie with a posted phone number of XXX-XXX-4722. Officers identified this phone number as belonging to Brittany Marie Harenza (DOB: 10-08-1991). An administrative subpoena relating to the Backpage.com advertisement was requested. As a result of the subpoena, Officers identified over 1,600 commercial sex advertisements associated with an account tied to Harenza' s phone number from 11-25-2015 to 05-15-2017. The subpoena also revealed "moneyfirst1218@gmail.com" as the email address belonging to the account. Over 35 different females were associated with the ads linked to the account. The commercial sex advertisements posted for "in call" and "out call" in Minnesota and numerous other states. In Minnesota, advertisements connected to the Backpage.com advertisements were in various cities in Hennepin, Washington and Ramsey Counties. The administrative subpoena also revealed IP addresses associated with the posts from the cell phone carriers Sprint and Comcast. An administrative subpoena for the Comcast IP address revealed a Comcast Cable account for a residence located at 2815 McKenzie Point, Wayzata, Minnesota. The phone number associated with Harenza and the Backpage.com advertisement was connected to the Facebook.com profile of "Brittany FinesseBunnie Harenza." Officers viewed this profile and discovered much of the content was centered on commercial sex. Numerous pictures and posts associated Harenza with a male with the profile name of "Ricky Turner Jr." The individual was later identified as RICKY ARLEN TURNER, the defendant herein. Based on the pictures and posts on both profiles officers concluded that the defendant promotes the prostitution of several females, including Harenza. The defendant s profile contained statements, images and videos portraying the lifestyle of a "pimp." Officers learned moneyfirst1218.sf@gmail.com belongs to the defendant and was closely related in name to the Backpage.com advertisement for Harenza and other females regarding commercial sex. Officers found that both Defendant Turner and Harenza were residing at the Wayzata address. Minnetonka Police conducted surveillance of the residence and found both to have frequent contact at the address. Surveillance also revealed a detached guest house. Investigation revealed that "in call" commercial sex acts occurred in the guest house. A poll camera surveillance of the residence revealed frequent, short term traffic from the residence. This short-term traffic is indicative of prostitution activity. Investigation showed multiple phone numbers associated with the Backpage.com ads placed by the defendant and Harenza. Undercover officers made contact with those numbers including one used by K.G., a victim in this matter. Undercover officers set a date with K.G. for a price of $300 per hour with an in call location of 2811 McKenzie Point Road. The address provided is next door to the defendant s residence. It is a customary practice with in-calls to provide an address next to the suspect home and upon arrival, the customer is flagged down and directed to the proper location. Another victim, B.C., was identified by law enforcement. On February 25, 2017, undercover officers initiated communication with B.C. and agreed to a rate of $200 per hour with a 2 girl price of $500. B.C. sent the undercover officer a photo of Harenza. The undercover officer was directed to a Minneapolis Hyatt hotel. Law enforcement observed Harenza drive to that location and observed B.C. get into Harenza s vehicle. The following night, officers observed the defendant make contact with B.C. at the same hotel. 3

Officers are aware that it is common for "customers" of commercial sex to post reviews of their sex acts for other potential "customers." Through the phone numbers associated with the Backpage.com advertisements, Officers obtained the "customer" reviews of Harenza, B.C. and K.G. This review confirmed that all three women were involved in commercial sex as the "customer reviews" discussed sex acts occurring. K.G. was interviewed by officers on June 6th. K.G. reported that the defendant and Harenza approached her at a bus stop and started telling her how she could earn money through commercial sex. K.G. reported that she left with the defendant and Harenza and went on calls later that same night. K.G. identified Backpage.com ads that were placed for her services. K.G. reported that the defendant and Harenza placed the ads and that the defendant and Harenza taught her how to the talk to the guys who responded to the ads. K.G. stated that she was recruited by the defendant and Harenza in November 2016 and that she left them in March 2017. K.G. reported that she had to pay off a $2000 choose up fee that the defendant required. K.G. reported that she made at least $100,000 during her time with the defendant and that she was forced to give the vast majority of the money to the defendant. According to K.G., the defendant had a quota of $1000 per day that she had to make. If she did not, the defendant would not give her money for food. K.G. reported that the defendant and Harenza forced her to live at the house in Wayzata because they wanted her available for more sex customers who came to the house. K.G. said she tried to leave but the defendant physically assaulted her a few times while at the residence. K.G. reported that the defendant also assaulted her on a trip they took to Miami they took so she could work there. K.G. stated that she thought the defendant was going to kill her that night. K.G. stated that the defendant is violent and she is afraid of him. K.G. reported that there were other girls working for the defendant and Harenza including B.C. K.G. provided officers with texts between herself, the defendant, Harenza and sometimes B.C. The texts make clear that K.G. and B.C. would check in with the defendant when they arrived at calls and would advise him of how much money they earned each time. In one text, the defendant confirmed that C.B. had the choose up fee. The defendant then says I m finna break her & take her to the courtyard Marriott in Bloomington. In a number of texts, B.C. asks what she should charge for different services. Either the defendant or Harenza would respond. In a post-miranda statement, the defendant admitted that he gave Harenza "the game" and taught her "how to go about it." The defendant said he received profit derived from commercial sex involving multiple females. The defendant said that Harenza doesn't give him the actual money anymore because "she makes deposits into the business account." The defendant admitted to also trafficking K.G. The defendant stated that he had a 90 day agreement with K.G. and would ask for a percentage of the money "which is sometimes twenty grand, sometime, fifteen." Turner stated that he would "monitor" the bank accounts of the females. The defendant further admitted that he trafficked B.C. He said that B.C. "wasn't even making money" and he "took a loss there." The defendant said Harenza would pay all the costs associated with B.C. The defendant reported that Harenza and B.C. do a "two girl" once or twice a week. The defendant is currently in custody in Washington County and similar charges. 4
