Rapper sent to prison for using underage girls in his videos

A once-aspiring rapper will pay for his dream with 15 years in prison because he made sexually explicit music videos featuring himself and underage girls. It could have been much worse for Eric D. Chavis, 24, of the Southeast Side. "If the victims were young children, probably the number would be much higher," U.S. District Judge Michael H. Watson told Chavis at his sentencing on Tuesday. The girls in Chavis' videos were 16 and 17.
