A Texas woman has been accused of running a $1,000 a session prostitution ring with her husband that catered to local police officers. 
Ashley Ketcherside was arrested on Tuesday on a racketeering charge in Johnson County, 29 miles south of Fort Worth. 
Her husband, Michael Ketcherside, was arrested earlier this month in connection with the alleged scheme. 
Officers earlier searched the Ketchersides’ home on March 31, where law enforcement officers uncovered evidence of the “ongoing prostitution conspiracy” which allegedly unfolded over the past five years, according to prosecutors. 
Additional evidence recovered by authorities suggested that the Godley Police Department, under then-Chief Matthew Cantrell, conspired with the couple to gather information on private citizens and public officials whom they believed were adversaries. 
Officials named in the documents include members of the local city council, the former mayor of Godley, the former chief of police and members of the Godley Independent School Board. 
According to a criminal complaint and arrest affidavit obtained by NBC 5, Cantrell solicited a “boyfriend” for his wife from the couple. 
In the documents, former officer Solomon Omotoya was also accused of soliciting Ashley Ketcherside for sex in exchange for yard work or babysitting. 
Jason Buchanan, a spokesperson for the Johnson and Somervell Counties District Attorney’s Office, told Oxygen.com that Cantrell had been arrested on charges of promoting prostitution. 
Omotoya had been booked on charges of soliciting prostitution. 
Michael Ketcherside was arrested on April 2 on a charge of continuous promotion of prostitution, according to jail records. 
On April 14, he was handed an additional charge of racketeering. 
Ashley Ketcherside was also arrested on a racketeering charge on April 14. 
According to court documents obtained by Fox 4, Godley police officers and their spouses would spend time at the Ketcherside residence, where Ashley Ketcherside was allegedly preparing another woman for prostitution. 
Cantrell told investigators that Ashley Ketcherside’s rate for sex was $1,000 per hour. 
The documents also revealed that police obtained a list of alleged clients from a burner phone belonging to Ashley Ketcherside at her residence. 
Prior to her arrest, she defended her husband in an interview with the station. 
“He’s a great husband, an amazing father to my three kids, and I believe in the justice system,” she said. 
“I’m absolutely no victim of my husband or anybody else.” 
“I know that the truth will come out.” 
In 2023, Ashley Ketcherside was removed from multiple positions within the Godley Independent School District after being convicted of solicitation. 
Kayla Lain, who was a school board trustee at the time, told Fox 4 that she had been made aware of Ashley Ketcherside’s convictions by the non-profit group Families Engaged for Effective Education. 
Ashley Ketcherside was serving on a council that recommended “appropriate grade levels and methods for human sexuality instruction,” according to documents obtained by the network. 
“We had no idea what was going on in her personal life,” Lain said. 
“She was always very friendly and personable.” 
The Independent has contacted the Godley Police Department for comment.
