Second Suspect apprehended in child trafficking case in Oklahoma

On Monday, the Human Trafficking Unit of the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics (OBN) apprehended another individual for engaging in sex trafficking.

As part of an ongoing investigation, law enforcement authorities arrested Antwon Jackson on charges of sex trafficking a juvenile victim.

Jackson was taken into custody at an Oklahoma County courthouse while attending a hearing to determine custody arrangements for his children, as reported by OBN.

On August 1, 2024, Sarah Larayna Holland, the mother of Jackson’s children, was arrested for her alleged involvement in this case.

According to Mark Woodward, spokesman for the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics (OBN), Warr Acres officers came across a minor in an apartment who was potentially a victim of human trafficking. In response, OBN’s Human Trafficking Unit intervened and engaged with the minor, her mother, and other investigators. Substantial evidence was uncovered, indicating that Antwon Jackson and Sarah Larayna Holland, who have ties to the family, were involved in trafficking the minor.

Jackson and Holland are facing a series of charges, which include the trafficking of a minor and the use of a computer to violate state statutes.
