I Was a Male Escort — Then A Murder Charge Sent Me To Prison | Lou Charlestin

Lou Charlestin grew up in the streets young and never really had a way out. In high school, he got charged with an armed robbery, was tried as an adult, and spent 2 years in prison before he was even fully grown. When he got out, he slid into life as a male escort while still hustling in the streets, chasing fast money and living a double life. One night everything crossed the line........a violent situation that left someone dead and Lou facing a murder charge. The case later got dropped down to assault and manslaughter, but he still ended up with a 7-year sentence in Connecticut state prison. _____________________________________________ #IanBick #LockedIn #MaleEscort #TrueCrime #MurderCharge #PrisonStory #CrimeConfession #realcrimestories _____________________________________________ Connect with Lou Charlestin: Personal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lou.novaa?igsh=azVxb2V5cmhjdWU4 Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alcrossedpod?igsh=MXVhNThwMzZzNDYzdg== YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/@AllLinesCrossed _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 From Teen Hustler To Walking Red Flag 00:42 Growing Up Haitian: Strict Home, Wild Streets 03:05 Beatings, Rules And A Haitian Household 05:00 No Father Around, Forced To Be The Man 07:00 From Getting Bullied To Becoming The Aggressor 08:10 Smart In Class, Violent In The Hallways 09:46 My First Arrest And First Time Behind Bars 12:44 How Prison Taught Me Survival And Hustle 14:00 Choosing The Streets Over A Normal Life 16:00 My First Gun And Getting Paid To Carry It 19:00 Prison Changed Me In Ways I Didnt Expect 21:22 Prison Tricks, Traps And Getting Played Inside 27:40 Getting Out And Trying To Go Straight 29:39 How I Became A Male Escort And Entered The Underworld 33:20 When Escorting Turned Dark And Dangerous 36:10 Living A Double Life: Streets By Day, Escort By Night 45:23 The Night Of The Shooting That Changed Everything 47:37 Years Later They Hit Me With A Murder Charge 54:44 Facing A Murder Trial, Thinking Id Never See Outside 58:12 Jailhouse Fights, Politics And Staying Alive 01:00:34 Alone In A Cell, Forced To Face Myself 01:04:09 New Prisons, New Politics, Same Old Danger 01:15:31 Walking Out Again And My Second Chance 01:18:36 Life With A Record: Doors Slammed In My Face 01:21:21 What I Learned From Prison And The Streets 01:25:58 Why Im Telling This Story Now Learn more about your ad choices.
