Omaha Escorts: 2 Omaha women arraigned on sex trafficking
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa —
Federal court officials in Council Bluffs have arraigned two Omaha women on sex trafficking and interstate prostitution charges.
The two who made their initial court appearances Tuesday were identified as 32-year-old Merrideth Crane Horton, who also uses the name Mary Crane Horton, and 22-year-old Katherine Heredia.
The two were named in a nine-count indictment that also named 21-year-old Ramon Heredia, who is also from Omaha.
U.S. Attorney Nicholas Klinefeldt said Ramon Heredia would probably be arraigned in the near future.
Some of the charges in the indictment involve the alleged recruitment of underage girls into the sex trade. One of the girls was said be younger than 14 and the second was said to be younger than 18.
Federal attorneys did not indicate Tuesday whether any of the defendants had attorneys.
