Woodbury, NJ – Amir A. Vaughan, 25, of Egg Harbor Township, was charged by
criminal complaint with first-degree promoting prostitution and first-degree
endangering the welfare of a child today, Prosecutor Andrew B. Johns announced.
According to documents filed in this case:
On Dec. 10, 2025, a minor victim reported to the Franklin Township Police Department
she was forced by a man named “Kyro” to perform sexual acts with adult men on four
occasions between April and May 2025. She also reported being forced to record those
interactions so “Kyro” could sell the video content. Through investigations, police were
able to identify “Kyro” as Vaughan, a registered sex offender, which was confirmed by
the victim.
A search warrant of Vaughan’s residence was conducted in which two cell phones were
found and Vaughan was taken into custody. Vaughan was processed and lodged in the
Salem County Correctional Facility.
Prosecutor Johns thanked the Franklin Township Police Department, the Atlantic
County Prosecutor’s Office, Atlantic County SWAT, and the Egg Harbor Township Police
Department for their assistance in the investigation, while highlighting the work of the
Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office’s Special Victim’s, High Tech, and Crime Scene
Investigation Units.
The charges contained in the complaint are merely accusations, and the defendant is
presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
