DALLAS, TX — The Dallas Police Department’s Prostitution Task Force, operating out of the Northwest Patrol Division, rescued a 17-year-old girl during a traffic stop and arrested the man accused of forcing her into prostitution.
On August 20, 2025, officers stopped a vehicle in the 11100 block of Harry Hines Boulevard and found a driver with a female passenger. During the stop, the passenger made comments indicating she was involved in prostitution. Detectives from the High Risk Victims Squad interviewed the girl and determined she had been forced into prostitution by 32-year-old Deon Harris.
Harris was arrested and charged with Compelling Prostitution of a Minor under 18, a first-degree felony.
“I commend these officers and detectives for their swift response and compassion shown to this victim,” said Deputy Chief Stephen Williams, commander of the West Patrol Group. “Their diligent efforts led to the rescue of a vulnerable person and the arrest of the suspect. This case is one of many that highlights our continued commitment to pursuing justice and protecting victims of exploitation.”
