14-year-old boy met with prostitute who pepper-sprayed him before stealing his piggy bank

Police say a 14-year-old boy from Prospect Heights, Milwaukee thought the young woman he met online was a prostitute. But she turned out to be a thief who took his iPad and piggy bank.

The teen was home alone on Wednesday when he arranged a sexual encounter with Dareka R. Brooks, 22, through a website, according to Assistant State’s Attorney Katherine Levine.



Brooks arrived at his home and told him to go into a bedroom and remove his pants, Levine said. The youth was sitting on the bed when Brooks sprayed a pepper substance in his face, grabbed his iPad and a piggy bank and fled.

The teen noted the description of Brooks’ car and called police. Officers traced her to an Elk Grove Village motel after she turned on the iPad. Bond for Brooks was set at $10,000 in Cook County Circuit Court on a charge of armed robbery. The piggy bank was recovered.

There's no such thing as Prospect Heights, Milwaukee. Prospect Heights is a suburb of Chicago, the location of the home of the unnamed minor. Brooks is from Milwaukee, a whole city unto itself, though sometimes mistaken as a suburb of Chicago.
