Collin County sex trafficking raid leads to 3 arrests, more possible
PLANO, Texas - Three people are accused of sex trafficking crimes after an FBI raid in Collin County.
The seemingly quiet neighborhood near Coit and Parker roads in Plano was filled with police and federal agents on Monday.
Images captured by SKY 4 showed the FBI raiding a rental home on Sowerby Drive. That’s where police arrested 40-year-old William Garland.
Police accused Garland of running a sex trafficking ring.
Two others – 24-year-old Jalen Bobo and 27-year-old Robberta Khan – were also arrested in connection to the case.
All three are accused of recruiting young women to work as escorts. According to the FBI, those women were often violently forced to work.
Police said Garland’s arrest is the result of a years-long investigation.
He and the others now face charges of coercion and enticement, along with aiding and abetting.
If convicted, Garland and Bobo face up to life in prison while Khan may face 20 years in prison.
But police said the case is far from being solved.
They believe the trafficking ring spans across Collin County and others may be involved.
They’re asking anyone with information to come forward and call police at 972-941-2044.
