ExclusiveIn Ice Cold Blood Bonus: Who Was Ashley Benson’s ‘Romeo Pimp?’ (Season 2, Episode 12)
A ‘Romeo pimp’ is a type of sex trafficker who typically pretends to be in a legit relationship with a young, vulnerable woman, but is actually using this façade of shared intimacy in order to “groom” her for sex work.
