Multi-County Grand Jury indicts three on human trafficking charges

OKLAHOMA CITY (Nov. 20, 2025) – Three people are facing multiple felony charges related to an alleged human trafficking operation after the Multi-County Grand Jury indicted them on six counts. The indictment, unsealed today, claims the trio exploited multiple victims for commercial sex across Oklahoma and Missouri.

Leslie Ann Brown, 48, Brandi Ann Nicole McDaniels, 33, and Anderson Byron Walker, 49, face charges including conspiracy to commit human trafficking for commercial sex, human trafficking for commercial sex, transporting persons for prostitution, and acquiring proceeds from illegal activity.

"Human trafficking destroys lives and tears apart the fabric of our communities," said Attorney General Gentner Drummond. "Those who profit from this evil will be held accountable, and my office will relentlessly pursue these predators and fight to bring justice to every victim."

According to the indictment, between April and July, the three recruited, enticed, harbored, maintained, transported and obtained multiple victims through deception, force, fraud, threat and coercion for the purpose of engaging them in commercial sex acts. Brown, McDaniels and Walker are accused of transporting victims to various motels in Oklahoma City and Kansas City, Missouri, creating commercial sex advertisements, controlling victims' communications with clients, setting prices and collecting money from the victims' activities. The case was investigated by the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics human trafficking unit. 

Walker faces an additional count of human trafficking for commercial sex involving a separate victim between June 2024 and February 2025.

Every person arrested or indicted is presumed innocent unless and until convicted in a court of law.
