A federal grand jury in the Northern District of Texas has returned an eight-count superseding indictment charging a DeSoto man with sex trafficking and efforts to obstruct the case after his first arrest.
Prosecutors allege that Felix Omoruyi compelled five adult women to perform commercial sex acts in Texas and elsewhere between December 2007 and November 2025. One of the five was allegedly trafficked from the time she was a minor. The indictment includes counts of trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and trafficking of a minor.
The new pleading also alleges that, after his November 2025 arrest, Omoruyi tried to destroy or conceal evidence and contacted victims and witnesses in an effort to influence what they would tell investigators or say in court. Those assertions support separate obstruction-related counts.
The superseding indictment is an accusation, not evidence of guilt. Omoruyi is presumed innocent unless convicted. A trafficking conviction based on force, fraud or coercion carries a statutory minimum of 15 years and a maximum of life imprisonment, with mandatory restitution.
