Dallas man indicted in New York for sex trafficking Texas teens

A 29-year-old man from Dallas, Donald Roberson, has been indicted in New York for multiple charges related to the sex trafficking of two teenage girls from Texas. The victims, aged 17 and 18, were allegedly coerced into prostitution and subjected to severe physical abuse. Roberson met the younger victim through Instagram and transported both girls to New York, where he forced them to engage in sex work. He branded them with his nickname, 'Blue Cheese,' tattooing it on their faces, which exemplifies the control he exerted over them. The abuse escalated significantly during their time together. Roberson was accused of physically assaulting the 17-year-old, including punching her, pulling her hair, and even stabbing her with scissors. He also allegedly caused her to suffer a seizure due to the violence. The 18-year-old victim faced similar brutality, being choked and punched until she was unable to breathe. The situation became dire when one of the victims managed to text for help, leading to Roberson's arrest. Following his arrest, Roberson was arraigned on a 17-count indictment, which includes serious charges such as sex trafficking of a child and promoting prostitution. He was ordered to be held without bail, reflecting the severity of the allegations against him. The case has drawn attention to the horrific realities of sex trafficking and the exploitation of vulnerable individuals. The Brooklyn District Attorney's office has committed to pursuing justice for the victims, emphasizing the need to hold Roberson accountable for the inhumane treatment he inflicted. The next court date is set for October 23, as the legal proceedings continue to unfold.
