Federal prosecutors in the Northern District of Texas have charged a DeSoto resident with a long pattern of exploitation. The U.S. Attorney's Office announced the indictment of Felix Omoruyi, a 39-year-old man accused of running a trafficking operation that spanned nearly two decades. The case centers on allegations that Omoruyi used force, fraud, or coercion to control the lives of multiple victims.
Court documents state that Omoruyi compelled five adult women to perform commercial sex acts in Texas and other locations between 2007 and 2025. One of the women was a minor when the alleged trafficking began. The indictment lists charges for sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and sex trafficking of a minor. Prosecutors also filed counts for attempting to destroy, alter, or conceal a document, as well as obstruction and interference with the enforcement of the sex trafficking statute.
Omoruyi was arrested in November 2025. According to the filing, he contacted victims and witnesses after his arrest to influence their statements and testimony. The documents describe these actions as attempts to destroy evidence. If a jury returns a guilty verdict, Omoruyi faces a mandatory prison sentence ranging from 15 years to life. He will also be required to pay restitution to the victims.
