Overton was arrested in south Seattle after a police investigation that began in May when undercover Kent, Wash. She told them Overton was her boyfriend and had brought her to the area and told her to perform sex acts for money that she would share with him. He told her she won't have to do it anymore once he made it in the 'league' NBA or overseas basketball league.
Michael Hunsinger, an attorney who represented Overton during a previous case, said he had no comment on the court action Friday. He wouldn't discuss whether he was representing Overton now. Among the evidence police gathered were text messages on the woman's cell phone giving her advice on how to be a successful prostitute, court papers said. The report also said surveillance video confirmed the woman's statements that Overton used the money she gave him to fill up his vehicle with gas and to buy a cigar.
When Overton was arrested, while picking up the woman from a Burger King, he told police he knew he had made a mistake. A bail hearing had been scheduled Friday afternoon but was canceled when the case was moved to superior court. In late March, Overton was given a continuance on a charge of furnishing alcohol to a minor in a case involving two year-old girls.
The Seattle Municipal Court action meant the charge would be dismissed if Overton avoided another criminal charge for a year and completed 24 hours of community service.
