HOUSTON, TX — Investigators with the Houston Police Department Vice Division were busy last month, arresting 33 men and one woman on crimes related to prostitution.
“We hope by publishing these suspects' photos, we will raise awareness of the issue that is human trafficking and put the community on notice that we will no longer tolerate these crimes in our neighborhoods,” HPD Vice Division Captain James Dale said in a news release.
