A Georgia man forced women he held at a million-dollar mansion to get gang-related tattoos, collected all the money they made at a strip club and threatened them if they wanted to leave, a Fulton County prosecutor said Thursday.

But a lawyer for Kenndric Roberts, 33, said his client simply “had grand designs to become a very wealthy person,” never held the women against their will, showered them with lavish gifts and promised to share profits from his entertainment company.
