Three Indicted for Human Trafficking in OKC

OKLAHOMA CITY — A Multi-County Grand Jury has indicted three individuals on human trafficking charges stemming from separate Oklahoma City Police Department (OCPD) investigations involving two victims.
Amario Clay, 31, is charged with one count of Human Trafficking for Commercial Sex and one count of Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony.
Michael Davis, 39, and Maria Fernanda Contreras Rosales, 27, each are charged with one count of Human Trafficking for Commercial Sex.
“Human traffickers exploit vulnerable individuals for profit, treating people as commodities rather than human beings,” said state Attorney General Gentner Drummond. “I commend the Oklahoma City Police Department and its investigators for rescuing these victims and building strong cases against those responsible.”
The charges against Clay stem from an investigation by the OCPD Vice Unit. Investigators found the victim at an Oklahoma City hotel while Clay waited in a vehicle outside the hotel. Officers seized approximately $4,000 in cash believed to be proceeds from commercial sex activity, along with a Glock 9mm handgun.
According to investigators, cellphone messages showed Clay allegedly arranged commercial sex encounters, set prices and meeting times, and instructed the victim on how to carry out the encounters. The victim was offered services following the recovery operation.
The charges against Davis and Rosales stem from an investigation after OCPD officers responded to a “trouble unknown” call on June 28. Officers found the victim outside a residence with no shoes and wearing little clothing. The victim was connected with services and continues to receive support.
According to investigators, Davis and Rosales forced the victim to engage in commercial sex for approximately one week, transporting her throughout Oklahoma City and into Texas to meet buyers. Investigators allege the pair communicated with buyers, arranged the encounters, determined the services to be performed and set the prices. Rosales allegedly drove the victim to the encounters while the victim was required to surrender all proceeds to Davis.
All three individuals are in custody. Every person arrested or charged is presumed innocent unless and until convicted in a court of law.
