The Dallas Police Department’s Prostitution Task Force, operated out of the Northwest Patrol Division, rescued a 17-year-old girl who was being forced into prostitution.
Officers in the 11100 block of Harry Hines Boulevard conducted a traffic stop on August 20, 2025, and located a driver and sole female passenger.

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.”
