NEW: Mother of three accused of running a prost*tution ring out of her home in Godley, Texas, catering to police officers.

Ashley and Michael Ketcherside are accused of hosting Godley Police Department members and their spouses at their home.

Ashley is accused of not only coaching women on how to sell themselves, but also being a prost*tute herself, allegedly charging $1,000 an hour.

Former Godley police officer Solomon Omotoya and former Godley Police Chief Matthew Cantrell are facing charges in connection with the ring.

"The Godley Police Department, under Chief Matthew Cantrell, conspired with the Ketchersides to compile information on local public officials and private citizens they perceived as adversaries," the DA said.

"The officials known so far include members of the Godley City Council, Godley Independent School Board, the former mayor of Godley, and former Chief of Police of The City of Godley."

Ashley was ousted from a Godley ISD committee back in 2023 that directed the district’s s*x ed curriculum when her prior prost*tution convictions were discovered, according to the New York Post.

Ashley was charged with racketeering. She is being held on a $200,000 bond.

Her husband, Michael, was charged with continuous promotion, solicitation of prost*tution, and racketeering. He is being held on a $450,000 bond.

🚨GODLEY, TEXAS🚨

Ashley and Michael Ketcherside are accused of running a prostitution ring out of their home - allegedly involving former Police Chief Matthew Cantrell and officer Solomon Omotoya.

According to prosecutors, this wasn’t just illegal activity - it included coaching women, $1,000/hour services, and even efforts to target local officials they saw as enemies.

Police leadership tied to it. City officials pulled into it.

This isn’t just a scandal, it’s DEEP corruption at the local level. Texans should be OUTRAGED!

NEW: Ashley Ketcherside has a $200,000 bond for Racketeering. Her husband — Michael Ketcherside — has the same charge/bond, but also a $250,000 bond for Continuous Promotion of Prostitution.

The couple is at the center of an alleged prostitution scandal in Johnson County — using the former Chief of Police and an officer to obtain information on their adversaries.

Prostitution conspiracy investigation sees Godley police officers arrested; co-defendant maintains innocence
...

GODLEY, Texas - Multiple former Godley police officers have been arrested in connection to a prostitution conspiracy investigation, and more arrests are expected. However, the wife and co-defendant of one of the suspects maintains his and her innocence.

Police arrested three individuals in connection with a prostitution conspiracy investigation being conducted by the Johnson County District Attorney's Office and the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Michael Ketcherside was charged with continuous promotion of prostitution. Matthew Cantrell, the former Godley Chief of Police, was charged with promoting prostitution. Former Godley police officer Solomon Omotoya was charged with soliciting prostitution.

Ketcherside's wife, Ashley, has not been arrested or charged in the investigation, but is identified as a co-defendant in court documents. Those same documents accuse her and her husband of racketeering.

Court documents state that Godley police officers and their spouses would frequently spend time at the Ketchersides' house.

Investigators searched the Ketchersides' home in March and seized Ashley's burner phone, where they uncovered a large number of prostitution clients.

That list included former officer Omotoya, who reportedly solicited Ashley for sex in exchange for doing yard work and other favors.

Omotoya led investigators to Cantrell, who told them Ashley's common rate for sex was roughly $1000, a number that investigators say supports details found on her burner phone.

Officials also discovered that the Ketchersides and Cantrell had conspired to compile information on people they perceived to be adversaries, including members of Godley City Council, the Godley ISD school board and Godley Police officers.

The reason for compiling that information remains unclear.

This isn't the first time in the last several years Godley has seen controversy involving prostitution.

In 2023, Ashley Ketcherside was removed from a Godley ISD committee that decided the district's sex education curriculum after it was discovered she had been twice convicted of prostitution in 2012 and 2016.

Ketcherside was also advertising on escort websites at the time of her volunteering. She was later removed from other Godley ISD volunteer groups after her past convictions surfaced.

A 2016 court document obtained by FOX 4 claims Michael Ketcherside was "very supportive of her profession" at the time of her second conviction.

Despite previous convictions for prostitution, Ashley Ketcherside tells FOX 4's David Sentendrey she is not a prostitute, and she's never been trafficked by her husband.

"He’s a great husband, an amazing father to my three kids and I believe in the justice system," Ashley told Sentendrey. "I’m absolutely no victim of my husband or anybody else."

Ketcherside says she hasn't spoken to police during their investigation.

When asked if there was prostitution between her and Cantrell or Omotoya, Ashley replied, "Absolutely not. No. Not even close."

She also tells Sentendrey she is not active on any escort sites, and she never asked anyone in the Godley Police Department to get her and her husband records of potential adversaries.

When asked about prostitution, Ketcherside says, "Whatever people choose to do with their bodies, is up to them."

"I know that the truth will come out."

Godley ISD trustee Kayla Lain blew the whistle to FOX 4 in 2023 about Ketcherside's past prostitution convictions, and tells FOX 4's David Sentendrey she's alarmed by the alleged conspiracy.

"I truly cannot believe that we’re still dealing with this three years later," Lain said. "If this was handled properly from day one, we would not be where we are today."

"I’m very glad that the district attorney’s office has been taking this seriously."

The Godley Police Department said that more arrests are expected in this case.

Michael Ketcherside remains in jail on a $250,000 bond and Matthew Cantrell is in jail on a $100,000 bond.

Solomon Omotoya has posted a $20,000 bond.

What's happening here now is a convergence of these three trends:

1) President Trump has been on-record for decades with his disdain for the Iranian Regime and desire for it to never have nuclear weapons. He likely never intended to leave office with the current Ayatollah power structure still in place.

2) Much of the Arab world is sick of the Iranian Regime and wouldn't mind it being severely muted, if not outright removed. Iran has more friends in Beijing and Moscow these days than it does Amman, Cairo, Dubai, or Riyadh.

3) The Israelis are as determined and united in their resolve against sworn enemies as they have been in decades following the October 7th massacre.

So grateful to receive the endorsement of the Johnson County Farm Bureau — truly the best of the best. Our farmers and ranchers are the backbone of Johnson County and a pillar that supports every family and business in our community.

I appreciated the opportunity to have a thoughtful and productive conversation about one of our most critical long-term priorities: protecting our water resources. Ensuring a reliable, sustainable water supply is essential not only for our agricultural community, but for the continued growth and strength of Johnson County.

You have my commitment that I will support legislation to safeguard our water suppies — not just for decades, but for generations. Thank you to the Johnson County Farm Bureau for your trust, your partnership, and for all you do to keep our county strong.
