The Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotic’s Human Trafficking Unit has arrested an Oklahoma City man for the manufacturing of child pornography involving a victim of human trafficking. OBN Spokesman Mark Woodward says this arrest is part of an ongoing investigation that began in March of 2024.
“At that time, OBN Agents in our Human Trafficking Unit received information from another state agency about an unrelated case involving a female juvenile they believed may have been a victim of Human Trafficking.
Through interviews and evidence uncovered during their investigation, OBN Agents did determine that the juvenile had been trafficked. In April of 2024, OBN Agents identified and arrested the person responsible for trafficking this victim.” —OBN Spokesman Mark Woodward
Woodward says OBN Agents also discovered a series of photographs and videos of an unknown adult male engaged in sexual acts with this victim. During their follow-up investigation, Woodward says OBN Agents identified the man as Eric Warren Davis (DOB 8/18/1983) of Oklahoma City.
“Davis was arrested by OBN Agents on October 31, 2024, for unrelated outstanding warrants. And during interviews with OBN Agents, Davis confirmed his presence in those photos and videos with the juvenile trafficking victim, as well as admitting he made the videos.” —OBN Spokesman Mark Woodward
On November 5, 2024, OBN Agents arrested Davis at his Oklahoma City residence for Manufacturing Child Pornography.
OBN Director Donnie Anderson says his agency is committed to aggressively tracking down and prosecuting those involved in human trafficking.
“I am proud of the tireless work by our Agents to locate the victim’s trafficker, as well as additional individuals involved in the exploitation of this juvenile. We want other victims to know they do not have to be afraid to seek help, they are not alone, and services are available to assist them.”—OBN Director Donnie Anderson
