Two of the three girls are sisters, and said they were homeless because their father was dead and their mother was a drug abuser. According to McPeters, two of the girls first approached him on Santa Rosa Avenue when he was using the telephone and asked him for a ride. He said he began hanging out with the girls because they had methamphetamine. He got them rooms at different Santa Rosa motels and arranged for them to have sex with men he brought to their rooms. One girl said McPeters often would wait outside the motel room or apartment bedrooms and knock when time was up. The defendant provided the girls with pocket knives for protection, food, rides to school and condoms, according to the police investigation cited in a pre-sentencing report prepared by the probation department. Police discovered three girls engaging in prostitution after they arrested a convicted rapist who was not supposed to be in the company of minors as part of the conditions of his parole, but was seen in the company of one of them the day after his release from prison. Further investigation led to the arrest of McPeters on suspicion of pimping and pandering.

Mark Leroy Daley, 41, of Santa Rosa was being held in Sonoma County Jail on $280,000 bail on four counts each of pimping a minor, providing a child under age 16 for lewd acts and pandering, and one count of possessing methamphetamine. An associate of Daley, Emmanuel Alvarado Ayala, 35, who was employed as a cook in Santa Rosa, was arrested on suspicion of eight charges involving sex with underage girls. He was booked on $100,000 bail. Police said he would pay for motel rooms and be given access to the girls. Daley used implied threats and intimidation to control the girls. He was known to hang out in downtown Santa Rosa and has lived for several years in motels on Santa Rosa and Cleveland avenues, Police Sgt. Dave Hayes said. Daley was unemployed. Police believe he tried to recruit at-risk or runaway teen-age girls living on the streets, and that there were other potential victims in this case.

Sonoma County Sheriff's Sgt. Greg Contos said it appears the men, who knew the teens in Sacramento, somehow enticed or forced the girls to go with them to Alameda County and then Sonoma County to act as prostitutes. The teens were apparently at a different hotel in Alameda County on Monday. At about 10 p.m. Tuesday, the 18-year-old dialed 911 and gave dispatchers a description of her alleged kidnappers and their car.
