An elderly New Jersey man is accused of running a prost!tution ring out of a senior living facility. According to authorities, the illegal ring employed outside women as well as women who lived at the facility.

James Parham, 75, and his alleged co-conspirator, Cheryl Chaney, 66, also allegedly allowed both residents and visitors to use crack in their apartments.

Chaney and Parham are both charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and maintaining a nuisance. Parham is specifically charged with a nuisance related to allowing prost!tutes to work out of his apartment. Chaney’s nuisance charge is related to allowing people to smoke crack in her apartment.

Englewood Police Chief Arthur O’Keefe said Tuesday that Parham is charged with running a prost!tute ring that employed both older residents and younger women.

No prost!tutes were arrested.

O’Keefe said drug use was not only ongoing in the apartments, but also in the common areas of the building as well. Some seniors living in the facility said they feared for their lives because of the criminal element at the complex.

One resident told NBC New York that he was aware of “a lot of nonsense going on.”

There was very little security in the building and that is believed to have contributed to the environment.

Kevin Thomas has loved ones in the facility and told NBC New York that he doesn’t understand why the elderly are turning to a life of crime.
