AUGUST 20--A California man charged with the sex trafficking of a teenage girl was wearing a t-shirt declaring “I make pimpin’ look easy” when he was arrested late last month, records show.
Martell Davis, 34, was collared by San Diego Police Department vice cops conducting an “incall” operation at a Best Western hotel, 
according to federal court filings.
according to federal court filings.As part of that probe, a detective located an ad on backpage.com “advertising a female for prostitution” and arranged for a July 26 “date” at the hotel. After negotiating an $80 encounter with the undercover cop, the hooker--a 17-year-old girl--was arrested for prostitution.
Officers then used the girl’s phone to text a person they believed to be her pimp. Posing as the teen, a cop sought some pricing guidance: “How much for anal?” The suspected pimp replied, “Oh shit make him break the bank babe,” before adding that the girl should charge at least $200.
After exchanging a series of texts with the suspected pimp--and arranging for him to pick up the underage prostitute--“Martell Davis arrived at the room where the date was set up with the undercover detective,” according to a U.S. District Court complaint. Arrested for pimping, “Davis was wearing a t-shirt that read ‘I make pimpin’ look easy,’” an investigator noted.
