Video sheds new light on how trafficking victim was taken from American Airlines Center

James Hartley Fri, June 10, 2022, 6:44 PM The 15-year-old girl who was taken from a Dallas Mavericks game in April and later found in an Oklahoma City hotel being prostituted had a passing interaction with a man suspected of being involved during the second quarter, according to a news release from the attorney representing the girl and her family.

During the second quarter of the Mavericks game at American Airlines Center in Dallas, the girl got up to go to the bathroom, according to the release. Surveillance video provided to the attorney with Fortenberry Firm PLLC showed the girl speak to a man on the concourse while they were passing each other and then rush to catch up with and follow him.

The man, who along with two others used a valid ticket to get into the American Airlines Center and then was escorted to a suite for which they did not have tickets by a former Dallas Mavericks employee, walked out of the building with the girl and spent about an hour walking around outside the center with her before leaving, according to the release. Zeke Fortenberry, who is representing the family, said in the release there is no evidence the man and girl had any prior communication.

The 15-year-old was found 10 days later at an Extended Stay America hotel where she was being prostituted, according to Fortenberry. His law firm said in a previous email to the American Airlines Center, Dallas police and the hotel that they failed the victim and her family.

Her father was afraid of the consequences if her gave her “The Talk, Non-black version”.

Maybe he was even afraid of his wife.

If she was from an all-white area, it’s likely that she wasn’t afraid of blacks.

You’re right regarding parent’s roles. But the poster was absolutely speaking about ‘women’ not children.

Why aren’t kerr and popovich rushing to condemn the human sex trafficking of children at games. And this is all while the NBA hires armed guards to protect...something or other, probably just the coaches and players.

Trafficking like other slavery will always be and continue, until good men kill it, like slavery here. But one cannot just win a war like we did hete, the fight must continue and restart every week it rears up again, as it fid in jim crow south and north.

The Catholic church hadn’t rwally killed the problem and the world hasn’t either so it continues. The good men have too much yet to lose to do the right thing. So we just talj, like churches and governments and me...and the weaker suffer terribly.

Stating fact is stating fact. It is neither defense of nor argument against. But biased people like yourself love to make ludicrous, strawman argument statements that are just ad hominem attacks and nothing more.

And this is why women have historically been controlled by their men. If not, they will willingly go off with strange men and be protituted.

Yep, that’s right. Every single one of us. It has happened to all of us who aren’t controlled by men. 🙄

But at least most of us can spell.

Before it went down the memory hole, I read that this was not the first time she had run away from home.

Just that little bit makes a lot of this more understandable. She knew who to look for, or at least to look for someone, and willingly went with him.

you sound like my father- not at all a good thing.
I don’t need to be controlled by a man, thanks.

Her DAD takes her to the game and she abandons DAD to leave with a total stranger? Something doesn’t add up here.

There were several threads about this incident when it happened. I said from the very beginning this was not a kidnapping, that she went voluntarily.

I took a lot of heat from a lot of Karens here at FR but it seems I was right. But now, as then, this entire situation sickens me.

Women have intuition. It looks to me that somewhere in her mind she wanted to give prostitution a whirl. Wanted to give the fast life with strangers a whirl.

It is historical truth and happens in many parts of the world today.

I’ve visited and lived in “many parts of the world today.” And you, Shorty, are full of bovine excrement.
