Kingpin convicted in call-girl case

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - A District Court jury late Tuesday convicted the mastermind of a high-priced Albuquerque escort service on nine charges related to prostitution.

Police arrested Bobbie McMullin, 47, last May after raiding his Private Ice escort service run from what appeared to be a security company in Albuquerque's North Valley. Albuquerque police and U.S. Secret Service agents raided the businesses arresting McMillan and two others.

He faces possible sentences totaling 13 1/2 years, according to a news release from the Bernalillo County District Attorney's office.

Jurors found McMullin guilty of:

• Establishing or maintaining a house of prostitution
• Four counts of soliciting for a prostitute
• Procuring a prostitute
• Two counts of transporting a prostitute
• Accepting the proceeds of a prostitute

He was acquitted of four other charges. His is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 13.

McMullin faces another trial next month in the same case on nearly 140 counts of racketeering and sexual exploitation of a child.
