On April 17, 2025, an investigation by the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics (OBN) Human Trafficking Unit recovered a missing juvenile who was a victim of Human Trafficking. OBN Spokesman Mark Woodward says that investigation uncovered information about additional victims and their suspected trafficker.
“Upon reviewing the evidence and conducting interviews, it was determined Derrick Lewis (a.k.a. ‘King’) had direct involvement in not only the commercial sex trafficking of this missing juvenile but other adult victims as well.” —OBN Spokesman Mark Woodward
On June 9, 2025, OBN Human Trafficking Agents obtained an Oklahoma County warrant for Lewis (DOB 2/25/1999) on the charges of Human Trafficking of a Minor, Human Trafficking, Maintaining a House of Prostitution, and Child Exploitation.
On June 10, 2025, OBN Human Trafficking Agents were able to locate Lewis at a residence in Del City, Oklahoma where he was arrested by OBN and Del City Police officers without incident.
“Information from this investigation indicates there may be other victims of Lewis. We want to let these victims know they don’t have to be afraid to come forward. Victims can remain anonymous, and help is available.” —OBN Director Donnie Anderson
