The victim, a 20-year-old mother, was found in distress with her 2-year-old daughter in the hotel room.
She claimed to have been trafficked across multiple states, including Texas, Tennessee, Louisiana, and New York, and forced into commercial sex work.
The victim reported that Robertson, her alleged pimp, would beat her if she refused to perform sex acts.
She was “branded” with an infected stiletto tattoo, a mark of ownership that both she and Thomas shared.
The State Attorney’s Office highlighted this case as an example of successful multi-agency collaboration between local police and the Human Trafficking Task Force.
