![The #GoFundMe Explosion: A Random Sampling of Online Beggin’ For Your Viewing Pleasure… [PHOTOS]](http://cdn.straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Pimp-for-Cash1-520x525.jpg)
The trio posed for the mugshots above after being arrested for assaulting and torturing a woman they met online. The married couple plus a Mills, a family friend were also aided by a 14 year old who took part in the festivities.
They allegedly assaulted a 20-year old woman they met online , set her on fire, then forced the victim to post a video to her Facebook wall, displaying her injuries to her online friends.
Can you imagine perusing your Facebook wall coming across something like that from one of your friends?? 
Full story…
“This letter is to let everyone know that I hurt myself and that nobody did anything to me. Everything that’s happened has been because of me. I brought this on myself,” the victim said in the video. However, police say, that confession was a coerced.
In the background a man’s voice can be heard telling the victim what she should say next. “Now tell ‘em about what you did, why we asked you to leave,” the male voice says in the video.
The 20-year-old victim reportedly met Michael and Tamara Rhoades online two years ago. Authorities say they lured the victim from her home in Pittsburgh to live with them in their North Philadelphia row home. The three had a consensual sexual relationship but, several weeks ago, things began to go south.
According the police report, the suspects held the victim captive against her will, torturing her, pouring flammable liquids on her and then lighting her on fire. The victim was able to put out the flames, but was badly burned.
Her alleged captors put her on a bus back to Pittsburgh, but not before getting a taped confessional from the victim that they’d written and directed.
“I started causing problems with the family and I threatened the kids and Tamara’s family,” the victim said in the video.
While serving a search warrant at the home, police say they found yet another 21-year-old victim, who also appeared to be bruised and battered. the woman had also come to stay with the Rhoades after meeting them in an internet chat room.
Michael Rhoades, Tamara Rhoades, and Steve Mills are each charged with attempted murder, arson, danger of death or bodily injury, and other related charges. The 14 year old juvenile is facing similar charges.
I’m still confused about the 14 year old. What that hail???

Hey ATlien!!! Are you going to post the tea on the Pheadra Parks scandal?!?!?!
Personally I am the most DANGEROUS person these bastards would want to meet. Get "strapped" before they take away your right.STAY loaded.Walk in piece knowing that God is on yo’ "side". These mofo’ could have neva’ been around to be in no jail had they done that to MY fam. Then again it’s all about association.As yo’ money say? "In God We Trust".
WTH is this world coming to!?
WOW! What type of foolishness. Sounds like a threesome gone wrong. Someone got jealous and all hell broke loose. People are truly psycho! And to think these fools were dumb enough to tape a confession where they could be heard telling the victim what to say! F’n idiots! I hope they throw these fools under the jail!
who meets someone in an internet chat room and then just goes to live with them??…of course they are going to be crazy!-every one in this story is f-ed in the head.
They need to fry these sick ass people some people dont deserve to breath same air as descent people im not judge and jury but I garuntee if that was my daughter or sister id find a way to get to them thats a fact.
****I know Phaedra is ya girl and everything…but ummmm, there is a huge scandal circulating around about her being a criminal mastermind with hubby (Apollo), Angela Stanton, and Apollo’s brother.****
The info contained in the interview is wayyyyy to juicy to pass up.
Ohhh, and shame on these people…jus crazy!
Wtf they gone get all that back 100 fold
she will post everything negative about others (MARLO) but never her beloved PHAEDRA AND KANDI…when it’s kandi and phaedra with the dirty past, we about to see PHAEDRA mugshot next..lol wow…what hypocrisy!
@Mary… whose site is this again?? Maybe you should go pull up the ownership docs… I coulda sworn I worked for ME. SMH
These are crazy individuals who needs an intensive amount of therapy. Why move in with anyone you meet on the net? You never know who’s behind the monitor.
@Mary says; Stop it! Just stop it…. Michelle told you what she wants us to know about that topic! I love the way we can say what you just said without(hopefully) repercussions like shutting us down. Only a republican or those with those tendencies would do shyt like that. Michelle’s profile states that she’s down and pretty much understands hoodrats (which has nothing to do with Phaedra) which shows she SHOULD be down with US. Cause the HOOD all over the world IS checkin’ in. I love the fact that she HAS responded to our topic and has also stated that she may or may not post cause this IS her site. We can form whatever views we want and say it right here no matter the topic as you and I have done. She won’t get repercussions from what WE say and hopefully we will eventually get the scoop before Wendy Williams fake azz.And @Mary says; did you hear anything new? If you did please use a roundabout way of sayin’ it,but everything WE sistahs hear from haters that we can join together and dissolve,let us reveal and support our sistah Phaedra…SPEAK!
imagine my surprise when i saw who did something like this *smh*
This is terrible! Ppl are so crazy.
@ATLien; Your animated emoticapions are off the chain (LMAO) But some of them,like the one above should not be used for this topic. You should have saved this for ANYTHING relating to that topic your bloggers are waiting for. Jus sayin’.
These”crazy folks” have been here all of time. We are related to them, live next door to them and probably work with them. We all notice something “off”, but we never think to this magnitude. SMH.
thats sooooooooo messy but yes please STOP MEETING PEOPLE ONLINE ESP FOR SEX ADVANTAGES. Its a crazy wOrld out there
Did these crazy ppl. really think some coerced statement would keep them from getting into trouble? They are ignorant, dangerous, and crazy!!! But prison should be an interesting experience for all of them.
SMH…
I went to college with Mike Rhoades. I am def surprised.
Wow….It just keeps going…….Crazy chicks getting Mad Press is what Fuels their Manic Episodes!!! Keep Giving them what they want!!! Everyone Love a Clown
Loves a Clown…Ya know what i MEAN!!!!
One more thing..All too many times..Black attorneys use their license to practice Law to practice Breaking it!!! She is not the first to do it and she’s Not the Last. If an investigation into whether any of these Allegations is true….Then We shall see…We shall see!! My Grandma Use to say "whats done in the dark will come to the light"………HOLLA
What type of female would even talk to these creep online yet alone go to live with and have sex with them? I would not want them walking down my street for fear the air would get polluted.
There are only two places worse than ATL and that is Philly and Detroit. Black people have lost their damned minds.
