The Dallas Police Special Investigations Division, in collaboration with the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Dallas-led North Texas Trafficking Task Force partners, has successfully apprehended four individuals in connection with the sex trafficking of an underage victim within the city of Dallas.
The individuals arrested and their respective charges are as follows:
- Lamorris Hudspeth, 47: Charged with Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child.
- Gershon Caston, 38: Charged with Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child, Trafficking of Child, and Compelling Prostitution under 18.
- Amber Gords, 30: Charged with Compelling Prostitution under 18 and Trafficking of a Child.
- Adarius Staples, 33: Charged with Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child, Trafficking of a Child, and Compelling Prostitution under 18.
The investigation, which focused on crimes committed in June and July 2023, revealed a disturbing pattern of exploitation and abuse involving an underage victim.
The North Texas Trafficking Task Force operates as a multi-agency coalition, leveraging the resources and expertise of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, along with dedicated non-profit organizations, to combat human trafficking in the region.
The success of the operation is largely attributed to the unwavering commitment and collaboration between the Dallas Police, HSI Dallas special agents, and the Dallas County District Attorney's Office Human Trafficking Task Force Officer. Their combined efforts ensured that justice was served and the individuals responsible for these reprehensible crimes were taken off the streets.
