The plaintiff alleged, among other things, \u00a0that Pugh took him shopping for clothes and a cell phone, sent him dirty text messages, and pressured\u00a0him into making a video of himself masturbating in exchange for $160 the youth needed for senior prom.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The boy, identified only as K.S., claims he obliged.
