In the process of reporting a feature on the group, VIBE has learned that
Killa C, real name
Chris Henderson, 20, pled guilty to charges of child molestation in May of 2005, stemming from a December 2000 incident involving his then six-year-old brother. He was sentenced to five years probation, but failed to register as a sex offender.
After VIBE inquired about the incident while reporting the feature, the
DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office confirmed
Henderson’s incarceration. He was arrested in January 2006 for possession of marijuana and cocaine. It was then discovered that
Henderson had failed to register as a sex offender.
He is currently serving a two-year sentence for Failure to Register as a Sex Offender, as well as a concurrent two-year sentence on a violation of the Georgia Controlled Substance Act. After requesting comment from Crime Mob's label on
Henderson’s situation, VIBE was informed two days later that he is no longer a member of the group.
Henderson has not been without support during this chain of events. The DeKalb District Attorney’s Office confirmed that
BME Recordings, imprint of
Atlanta producer
Lil Jon, sent a letter to the judge presiding over
Henderson’s case corroborating
Henderson’s membership in the group.
As recently as 6p.m. E.S.T. today, a photo with the phrase “Free
Killa C!!!” emblazoned upon it appeared on a
MySpace page (
myspace.com/missdiamondatl) which purports to be that of fellow Crime Mob member Brittany “Diamond” Carpenter. His image appeared on the group’s web site (
www.crime-mob.com) at press time and
Henderson will be featured on Crime Mob's upcoming sophomore release,
Hated On Mostly. No mention was made of removing his contributions to the album.
Originally six members, Crime Mob now consists of siblings
Lil Jay and Princess, Diamond, MIG, and
Cyco Black.
Hated On Mostly is scheduled for a January 2007 release on
Reprise Records.
