Oklahoma City Police raided an extended stay where they found the girl. She had been raped numerous times. Eight people were arrested and charged with human trafficking, rape, and the distribution of child pornography. The family then hired attorney Zeke Fortenberry.

“The family was frustrated,” Fortenberry stated. “After days of not getting any information from the Dallas Police Department and Dallas Police not taking any action, the family sought out the help of this agency in Houston.”

Fortenberry and the family plan to sue the Dallas Police Department, the American Airlines Center, the Dallas Mavericks, and Extended Stay America hotels.

“When a 40-something-year-old man walks in with a 15-year-old girl and rents multiple hotel rooms and then there is traffic coming in and out of those rooms, those are red flags,” Fortenberry told reporters.

“This girl was being sexually assaulted in a hotel room multiple nights,” he continued. “Any time she could have been rescued from that sooner would have been better.”

Sounds like the Dallas PD view a missing teen the same as traffic enforcement, not really their job. Heads should roll for this.

It's a Democrat City.

They thrive on #### like this.

Yep. The police chief and mayor are probably getting a cut, just like they all get a cut of the drug trade.

Before you guffaw about tinfoil hats, let's consider this:

There are such things as sex trafficking websites. That should make it easy to bust these people and rescue the women/children, and yet.....?

Rapists and pedophiles manage to find their victims pretty easily. So why can't the cops find them?

I wonder if the girl was a target of opportunity or it was planned. It doesn't sound like the girl went kicking and screaming, so guessing they dangled some kind of carrot to get her outside. I want to know more.

I was thinking that but didn't say it because that would be like blaming the victim.

There is more to this.

8 people have been arrested so far in this case. A few look like meth heads. They don't appear from their looks to be able to mastermind a crime like this.

I'd like to know why this particular girl was targeted. It would seem like plucking someone off the street would be easier than trying to convince someone in a crowded stadium to go somewhere with you.

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.

  • Saniya Alexander (Felony Warrant)
  • Melissa Wheeler (Robbery Warrant)
  • Chevaun Gibsion (Offering to Engage – Prostitution)
  • Kenneth Nelson (Human Trafficking / Distribution of Child Porn)
  • Sarah Hayes (Human Trafficking / Distribution of Child Porn)
  • Karen Gonzales (Human Trafficking / Distribution of Child Porn)
  • Thalia Gibson (Felony Warrant)
  • Steven Hill (Rape II)

I don't think so, people need to know to put a light on this sort of thing.

Teens are naturally stupid and a dangling carrot (meet Drake, or want some weed?) Would probably suffice to get a girl of that age's interest.

That's what I was thinking. Perhaps she "met" someone online who turned out to be a predator, and this was the result. It's unlikely she went out to score drugs with her dad right there, but you never know.

But you know what? We can show our teens stories like this every day and they'll STILL be stupid.

We - the whole family - had literally just watched a show about how easy it is for a stranger to get inside a house and get their hands on a kid when the parents aren't home; Larry and I had the talk with the kids, stressed the importance of not doing this and what to do instead; and don't you know just days later Larry's oldest let some freaking stranger in the house when we weren't there. I get a call from the youngest, "Uh, Dee Jay? There's a strange man in the house....." I told her to get her sister and leave the house immediately, I'd be there in a minute. I tore home ready for battle, lit this poor guy's everlovin' ass for him - turned out he was an insurance adjuster at the wrong house, thank god. He's lucky my first instinct wasn't to go for the gun, and I made sure he understood that. And he's super dooper lucky it was me racing home instead of Larry.

I asked A why she let the guy in when we had JUST WATCHED a show about it. She said, "I didn't want to be rude....."

:banghead:

So you can be like, "Oh, my kid would never go with a stranger, they know better..." but that's just dumbass. Teens, as PE pointed out, are naturally stupid. It's amazing they make it to adulthood.

I think there is a lot more to this.

Like it may have been arranged like PE suggested, or is that bordering on victim blaming like Jinx says.

I'd like to know more about this girl's background. 15 sounds young but their are plenty of 15 year old mothers in da' hood.

There don't appear to be any updates on this story. I'd like to know why she left with a stranger and didn't return back to her father.

Of course the family is suing a hotel, the stadium and the police department.

Possibly fear. Froze. Who knows what he said to her. He may have threatened her or her family..or said he was taking her to meet her Dad.

If you have never experienced it..you will not understand. I thought I was prepared once..but froze stiff when I was almost taken.

Parents do need to have practice drills with their children. Over and over so they will not freeze or believe what a stranger may tell them.

👍

You never think it will happen to you...and when it does.. you are shocked and if you haven't been prepared enough..you freeze. Fright. Scared stiff.

Maybe the police should hire convicted traffickers, rapists, and pedophiles, to do the investigational work to get them pointed in the right direction for busting up these groups? Just like when the government hires criminal computer hackers to work for them.
