An Oak Cliff man is facing Sex Trafficking charges in Dallas after being arrested for selling a nineteen year old to a man in South Carolina for purposes of sex.
Alfonso Orozco Juarez, 35, and Robert Hubert, 66, were charged via criminal complaint with conspiracy to commit sex trafficking. Mr. Juarez was arrested at his home in Dallas and made his initial appearance in court in Dallas on Wednesday; Mr. Hubert was arrested at his home in Roebuck, SC, and made his initial appearance in court in Greenville, SC last week.
In a statement, US Attorney Erin Neely Cox said “This victim endured horrific abuse at the hands of these defendants. It’s unthinkable and frankly, difficult to learn that this type of thing is happening in our District.”
Cox continued: “I am grateful that our North Texas Human Trafficking Task Force was able to act swiftly and aggressively. The Northern District of Texas and its partners in the District of New Mexico are committed to ending the scourge of human trafficking, one brutal case at a time.”
In September 2019, Juarez advertised the woman as a sex slave for sale on a fetish website, authorities said. A user going by the name “The Darkest Lord” replied to him, offering $5,000, according to court records.
Authorities said they obtained text messages in which Juarez and that man — later identified as 66-year-old Robert Gene Hubert of Roebuck, S.C. — arranged the transaction.
According to court documents, Juarez said that homeless women were “willing to do anything” for good food and shelter. “My dream is to have a house full of service sex slaves and like a pet adoption I will find them good homes,” he allegedly wrote.
He referred to the woman as “the property” and said she was completely dependent on him, according to the documents.
“I will take the slave,” Hubert said, offering a $50 deposit, the complaint says.
Juarez took the woman to a gas station near his home and told her she would be going to South Carolina with a man and needed to “obey him,” according to the complaint. She said she saw Hubert, whom she described as a “biker dude” with tattoos and an eye patch, give Juarez $5,000 in cash.
The woman said Hubert put a metal collar around her neck once she was in his truck and told her he wanted to brand her buttocks with a logo, according to the complaint. There was another woman with Hubert, she told authorities, and when they got to Hubert’s home, she saw bruises, burn marks and cuts all over the woman’s body, as well as a brand on her hip.
Sex Trafficking Charges
Sex trafficking charges can sometimes be hard to prove. Juarez’s attorney, Ezekiel Tyson, said he wanted to see “what actual evidence they have of criminal activity by my client.” Sex-slave relationships can be “very consensual” and aren’t necessarily criminal or worthy of a sex trafficking charge, he said, adding that there are plenty of activities that don’t cross the line into criminality, such as having someone agree to clean your house in the nude.
Both Juarez and Hubert remain in custody and face up to life in prison if convicted. Hubert did not have an attorney listed in court records.
Multiple cases have come out of the Dallas US Attorney’s office related to sex crimes and sexual activity in recent months. They include a Dallas police officer implicated in child sexual explotation while on the job and a former US Attorney who had been based in Dallas implicated in amateur hotwife porn.
