Woman Pleads Guilty to Meth Conspiracy and Prostitution Charges

NORFOLK, Va. – A Chesapeake woman pleaded guilty today to her involvement in a methamphetamine distribution conspiracy, promoting the prostitution of several adult women and two minor girls, and to a charge of tampering with a witness against her.  

According to court documents, Randi Brooke Creef, 22, worked with several co-conspirators in Virginia and California to receive and distribute parcels of methamphetamine throughout Hampton Roads. She also helped the conspiracy in its efforts to prostitute several women – including at least two minor females – in hotels in Chesapeake and Virginia Beach. Creef rented hotel rooms, provided narcotics, collected proceeds of the commercial sex acts, and helped as otherwise needed. Creef sent the proceeds of her methamphetamine dealing and the commercial sex acts of the women to a co-conspirator in California. After her indictment, Creef began a campaign using her social media accounts to threaten and harass an individual she believed to be a witness against her, in an effort to dissuade that individual from further cooperating with law enforcement.

Creef pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, use of facilities in interstate commerce to promote prostitution, and witness tampering. She faces a mandatory minimum term of five years in prison, and a maximum penalty of 40 years in prison when she sentenced on December 11. Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
