Harris County - A woman has been charged following an investigation into a potential sex trafficking incident involving a runaway juvenile who returned home on Thursday. The individual had been missing since September 11 and reported being forced into prostitution while staying at a hotel on Kuykendahl Road.
Upon her return, she made an outcry about her experience, leading Constable Mark Herman's Criminal Investigations Division to take action. Investigators discovered that she had been involved with several adults who coerced her into prostitution, including an adult female.
