On Thursday, a Tyler woman was jailed for six years after being found guilty of kidnapping two girls and using them in sex trafficking to Louisiana.

Arrested on charges of kidnapping and sex trafficking
The Tyler woman, identified as, Teresa Swan Fletcher was arrested along with Aaron Devante Wallace, aged 27; both were arrested in February on counts of kidnapping and later indicted on a chance of sex trafficking.

The 22-year-old Teresa Swan Fletcher was charged with kidnapping and promotion of prostitution; as a result, she was charged with six years of imprisonment with credit for 181 days served in Smith County Jail.

Aaron Devante Wallace was sentenced to 10 years in prison after being found guilty on charges of promotion of prostitution with credit for 179 days served in Smith County Jail.

Women who alerted the police
Right before the arrest, on February 17, a woman contacted Smith County Sheriff’s Office and informed that she had not seen her daughter or her friend, whom she had been with since February 13. She made a call believing that those girls were being trafficked for sex.

The women saw the two girls being picked up by a four-door red vehicle driven by Aaron Devante Wallace. After witnessing that, the woman texted her daughter, but eventually, the text was stopped on February 15.

One of the victim’s boyfriends did receive the text, and she said the messages asked for help.

The girl’s boyfriend informed her about the text
After receiving the help text from her girlfriend, her boyfriend called the Tyler police and informed them about the text. In some of the texts sent by his girlfriend, it was said she needed help to exit the house where she was kept.

According to the Affidavit, the police officer said in the document that Fletcher, in a video, told the girl’s boyfriend the girl was hers now. And according to the girl’s statement, she was forced into the vehicle against the girl’s will.

According to the interrogation, a girl said they went to a Shreveport hotel, and the two girls were sex trafficked by Fletcher, Wallace, and an unknown driver.
