Two Arrested for Human Trafficking in Irving

IRVING (WBAP/KLIF) – The Irving Police Department is investigating a case of human trafficking that occurred over the past few months in the 200 block of Rolston Road.

According to the Irving Police Department, officers responded to a call Sunday where a victim reported escaping from a prostitution enterprise. The victim, a young adult female, had been kidnapped from California and was brought to a home on Rolston Road against her will. While there, she was forced into prostitution by two suspects who would advertise the services on a variety of websites, then take the victim to various local motels to meet with customers. Also at the home was a second victim, a juvenile female, who was also being held against her will and forced to participate in prostitution. The responding officers and detectives quickly identified the suspects and took them into custody after seeing them leave the home with the juvenile victim.

20-year-old America Anderson and 26-year-old Devanshu Gupta. Both are currently being held in the Irving City Jail on charges of Trafficking of Persons, Trafficking of Child, Compelling Prostitution and Aggravated Promotion of Prostitution.
