Eight Arrested in Oklahoma in Connection With Missing DFW Teen Trafficked for Sex: Police |
"We renewed our plea to the public through the news media yesterday," he said."It’s important to note, there’s no indication right now that this was some kidnapping where someone is grabbed and thrown into a vehicle or something like that. It’s unclear exactly why she went with these men, but there were apparently two people she left with from the basketball game."
KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City picked up the story on the missing girl and shared her photos, which police said led to a viewer tip that she had been seen in an apartment complex. "If something seems out of place, it doesn’t have to go through the lengths of your child being missing…but if something seems out of place, just err on the side of caution and call 911. Let us take a look at it," Knight added.
Police followed up on the lead and found the missing teenager. Eight people were arrested, including Kenneth Nelson, Sarah Hayes, and Karen Gonzales, all of whom were all charged with human trafficking and the distribution of child pornography. The other five people were arrested on either outstanding warrants, rape, or prostitution charges. Details of those arrests are below.
Because the teen is both underage and an apparent victim of sex trafficking her name and photograph have been withheld from this story.
