Pierce County prosecutors have charged a Tacoma man with posting sexual photographs of two 13-year-old girls on the Internet.
An arrest warrant was issued Thursday for Sabir Israel Shabazz, 20, according to court documents. Shabazz is charged with two counts of promoting commercial sexual abuse of a minor.
Prosecutors allege he is the boyfriend of Shadina Rice, who was charged this week with two counts of promoting commercial sexual abuse of a minor. Rice, 38, remained jailed Friday with bail set at $100,000.
Authorities believe she forced into prostitution two 13-year-old runaways who sought shelter with her.
New charging papers filed Thursday state that Shabazz posted photos of the girls wearing little clothing and posing in sexual positions on the escort/prostitution page of a classified website.
