“Afrika Owes Will Spend Her Summer In Jail”

The ReadyWriter

The 17-year-old Ivy League Harlem teen, kissed her mother goodbye before she was led away in cuffs to Rykers Island, to start serving a 90-day jail term under an unusual plea agreement.

Afrika is expected to plead guilty on July 7 to conspiracy and weapons charges, but started serving her jail time now to ensure her release early in the school year.

Owes spent two months in jail before the historic Abyssinian Baptist Church posted $25,000 bail. She was arrested Feb. 16 as part of a violent crack-slinging gang known as the “137th Street Crew.”

Owes was valedictorian of her Harlem eighth-grade class before her acceptance into the $43,800-a-year Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts. She left the school after two years due to unexcused absences, and transferred to Millennium High School in Manhattan.

Butts said he believed Owes would take full advantage of her second chance. “I’ve got faith in Afrika,” he said.

  9. She made a bad mistake and hopefully has learned a hard lesson. Her poor judgment does NOT make her a thug or a criminal. She’s just young and dumb.

        STFU @Angelhair, I saw Afrika just last week on 125th Street. This girl is really trying to get her life back on track. One of my kids went to school with her as well. She really did get caught up with a cowardly asshole and bully who was too much of a punk to do his own dirt. She will be fine. She has an excellent support system behind her and she will not fall this second time around

        Angelhair, I have never heard that Ivy League schools don’t accept students who have been affiliated with a gang. As an overall, shut the FUCK up and worry about your own pharmacy-workers murdering junkies.

  15. Well let’s see what the gang has to say about this. She better stay in Mass, and not go back to Harlem. Change her friends, graduate, get a job, a family, and make sure her kids aren’t any where near that life.
