Battle Rapper Serius Jones Arrested for Human Trafficking and Pimping

by Daryl Nelson

Battle rapper Serius Jones is in serious trouble.

The Mercury News reports that he's facing a slew of charges, including human trafficking, pimping, assault and robbery. He was arrested in California by Walnut Creek police on February 6 and is now locked up in Contra Costa County Jail. 

It's said that Jones "did willfully and unlawfully deprive and or violate the personal liberty" of a female victim between July 31 and October 15 of 2019. He's also been accused of assaulting that same woman "by means likely to produce great bodily injury," on top of stealing her 2007 Lexus.

Jones, who's from New Jersey, became known after making his rounds in the battle circuit many years ago. You may remember him from being punched in the face by Math Hoffa at URLtv Summer Madness 3 in 2013.
