Three charged with human trafficking of teenager after undercover investigation

The undercover investigation began last month after the 16-year-old girl at the Community Intervention Center in Oklahoma City said she was a victim of human trafficking.

A lot of “bad stuff” had been done to her, she told agents with the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control.

She said she had been “dogged out” after a man approached her outside the Days Inn in south Oklahoma City and took her to his room. She explained that meant she had been sold “over and over” without getting to keep any of the money herself.

She also said she had been assaulted.

On Friday, prosecutors charged a man and two women who had been at the Days Inn with the victim.

Three arrested in case charged with trafficking, distributing child pornography

Jordell Tawan Henderson, 38; Aubri Parsons, 28; and Megan Ann Miller, 30, face felony counts of conspiracy, human trafficking, pandering, distributing child pornography and using a computer in a crime.

They are accused of recruiting the teenager, providing her shelter, posting nude photos of her on a prostitution website and arranging for her to meet with men who responded to the ads.

The victim's account of her ordeal is from a court affidavit filed with the charge in Oklahoma County District Court.

The teenager acknowledged she had been looking for “dates” on the streets on her own to make money when Henderson approached her, a narcotics agent wrote in the affidavit. She said she knew him then only as “Teddy P.”

“I got you,” he said.

She told agents he took her to a hotel room where he was staying with his “baby momma” and a girlfriend, according to the affidavit. She said they shot her up with meth to make her calm down.

On the third day, she said, she was made to “sign over her life,” according to the affidavit. “Shortly after this is when she was ‘dogged out' and assaulted in the hotel room and all her belongings taken.”

Agents went undercover after learning Parsons had rented the room at the Days Inn and had her own ads on the prostitution website, according to the affidavit. She was arrested Aug. 23 after an agent arranged a “sex date” for $200.

Those arrested also allegedly robbed people who responded to ads, affidavit says

Henderson and Miller already were in custody at the Cleveland County jail on a robbery charge.

The Narcotics Bureau director on Friday called human trafficking an insidious crime.

“My agency will do everything in its power to stop those who are preying on the young and vulnerable,” the director, Donnie Anderson, said in a news release.

“I am extremely pleased to report that the victim is in a facility designed to help victims of human trafficking and she is doing very well. I am also proud of these outstanding agents who worked tirelessly for weeks to get the traffickers off the streets.”

After her arrest, Parsons told agents she, Henderson and Miller were a “throuple,” according to the affidavit. She also admitted Henderson regularly robbed their customers before the “dates” were completed.

She also sobbed and expressed regret over her involvement in posting the teenager's ad.

“Teddy told me to,” she said. “There's no way to get out of this, is there? … I'm going to prison for (expletive) life. … I should've just told him no. … I should've gone home.”

In jail, Henderson denied he did any human trafficking but admitted to having sex with the victim, according to the affidavit.

“I feel like I'm going, I'm going to hell,” he said. “All this is all bad.”
