A federal indictment accuses Felix Omoruyi, 39, of DeSoto, of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion and sex trafficking of a minor. Prosecutors allege that he compelled five adult women into commercial sex acts over nearly two decades. He also faces obstruction-related charges tied to alleged conduct after his arrest in November 2025.
Allegations Span Nearly Two Decades
According to FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth, court documents allege Omoruyi compelled five adult women to perform commercial sex acts in Texas and elsewhere for his financial benefit between 2007 and 2025. The same court documents reportedly say he trafficked one of those women beginning when she was a minor.
The court documents, as described by the station, allege that after his November 2025 arrest, Omoruyi tried to destroy evidence and influence what victims and witnesses would say.
Additional Obstruction Charges Filed
In addition to the trafficking counts, Omoruyi is charged with attempting to destroy, alter, or conceal a document, and with obstruction and interference with enforcement of the sex trafficking statute, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas said that, if convicted, Omoruyi faces 15 years to life in prison and mandatory restitution.
What Texas data shows
A 2022 report by the Texas Human Trafficking Prevention Task Force, compiled by the Office of the Attorney General, said the state had 3,559 substantive contacts in 2020, resulting in 987 human trafficking case reports. Those statewide figures do not establish facts about this case. The report describes trafficking as labor or sexual exploitation through force, fraud, or coercion, or the commercial sexual exploitation of a child. That general description does not determine whether the allegations against Omoruyi are true.
Separate Ohio Case Involves Same Name
A Springfield News-Sun report lists a Felix Omoruyi, 34, of DeSoto, Texas, among 28 people indicted in Clark County Common Pleas Court on charges including aggravated burglary, robbery, felonious assault, promoting prostitution, endangering children, and soliciting. Nothing in the available record establishes whether that defendant is the same person named in the federal Texas case.
The sources cited in the reports have not identified a plea, court appearance, trial date, or response from Omoruyi or his defense counsel. Anyone with information or concerns about human trafficking can contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888, according to the National Human Trafficking Hotline.
