A federal grand jury in the Northern District of Texas returned a superseding indictment with eight counts against Felix Omoruyi, 39, of DeSoto, Texas, alleging sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, sex trafficking of a minor, and related offenses, the Justice Department said.
Court documents say that between December 2007 and November 2025, Omoruyi compelled five adult women to engage in commercial sex in Texas and elsewhere for his financial benefit. Prosecutors said he trafficked one of those women starting when she was a minor. After his arrest on the initial indictment in November 2025, he allegedly tried to destroy evidence and to obstruct his prosecution by contacting victims and witnesses to influence their statements and testimony.
The counts include sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion; sex trafficking of a minor; attempt to destroy, alter, or conceal a document or object; and obstruction and interference with enforcement of the sex trafficking statute. If convicted of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, he faces a minimum of 15 years in prison and a maximum of life, along with mandatory restitution, according to the department.
Assistant Attorney General A. Tysen Duva of the Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney Ryan R. Raybould for the Northern District of Texas, and Acting Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey A. Grimming of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New England made the announcement.
The Justice Department said the HSI New England Field Office is investigating the case with assistance from HSI Dallas and the Barnstable Police Department. Trial Attorney Matthew Thiman of the Criminal Division’s Human Rights and Special Prosecutions Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Brandie Wade for the Northern District of Texas are prosecuting the case.
An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
