A man federal prosecutors describe as a Seattle street gang leader is scheduled to go on trial in December on charges including sex trafficking.

Authorities said 34-year-old Leanthony Palmer — known as “Highway Tone” — bragged about his crimes on social media, flashing cash and guns.

“According to records filed in the case, Palmer is an acknowledged member of the Family Mafia Crips (FMC) street gang,” according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office. “Palmer repeatedly posts online about his sex trafficking business and is in images with firearms and cash. His car, a 2017 Maserati Levante SUV, has been connected to drug trafficking activity.”
