The fact that this story isn’t big but rather so hush hush. But we all know why...
A well-known Florence man charged with human trafficking earlier this year may have had possible victims further back than deputies are currently investigating, according to records handed over to ABC 15.
Jason Roger Pope, 42, popularly known as "DJ KID," was charged with with three counts of trafficking in persons, three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor, promoting prostitution of a minor, and kidnapping back on August 29.
Warrants say Pope recruited women and underage girls and had sex with them on various occasions between September 2017 and July 2019, providing the victims with money and gifts in exchange. They also say he held some victims against their wills in Darlington and Florence in order to have them perform sex acts.
The warrants say Pope knew some of the victims were under the age of 18, although they did not say if any of the women held against their wills were underage.
The additional accusations are included in incident and supplemental reports obtained by ABC 15 Investigates through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
ABC 15 asked for all of the incidents involving Pope about which police wrote reports, no matter how he was involved. The Florence County Sheriff's Office provided 14 incidents ranging from December 2011 to April 2019.
Pope was listed as the subject or suspect in nine of the incidents and the complainant or victim in four. He was involved in one of them as a third party.
Five of the nine reports where Pope was listed as the subject were sex-related. Only one, filed on Christmas Eve in 2011, involved an adult woman. In them, he was accused of sending her pornographic texts.
The first of the four involving underage girls happened shortly before that on December 4, 2011. The report says two girls aged 13 and 16 walked into a hospital and told doctors they had unprotected sex with the then-34 year old. The girls told police Pope had given them marijuana and money in exchange for the sex.
An investigator was called to the scene, but the public portion of the report ends. Prior to this story being published, Florence County Deputy Sheriff Glenn Kirby said both deputies listed in the report no longer worked for the department and staff was trying to figure out how and why the case was resolved.

In 1996, he was convicted of promoting prostitution with a minor and was sentenced to jail time, but the time was suspended.
From 1997 to 2011, he was convicted on a myriad of charges including ones like disorderly conduct and unlawful use of a telephone.
In 2018, he was convicted of cruelty to children and was sentenced to the time he had already served in jail.

What they’re not telling you in the article or video is that ALL of the victims are (predominately dark skin) Black women and girls.
In addition, this pedo predator devil, who worked in Promotions at Def Jam since 1999, admitted to sleeping with over 600 Black women and girls and did not disclose AIDS status to them, in hopes that those women would spread HIV to Black men.
“A 13-year-old girl told deputies that she had sex with Pope and later found out he had AIDS, the report states. The child’s friend introduced her to Pope, who allegedly gave the minor marijuana and alcohol, deputies said. According to the report, Pope took a second victim to his home on Lakeview Drive and had sex with her as well. At the time, police said the minors identified Pope’s home and his license plate number. The second victim said she was sexually assaulted on Thanksgiving, and she too became concerned that she contracted AIDS, the report states. One neighbor, who didn’t want to be identified, told WMBF News he suspected something was up a long time ago.“Seeing who he had next door, these young girls they looked like there were very young, underage maybe, and they stayed over there some and then they’d disappear," he said.“ (Source)
His text messages and twitter posts that shows his confessions have been quietly circulating on social media.
There’s photos of him online (especially on his facebook) rubbing shoulders with some your fav Black celebs at party settings who most likely (and hopefully) knew nothing about this. There’s even a photo of him and with his kindred spirit...
Withdrew that request because he knows what’s waiting for him on the outside of that jail. The inside won’t be safe either tho. May he die a slow and extremely painful death.
