A Killeen man arrested during a Bell County sex trafficking sting two years ago recently saw his criminal charge dismissed by a judge.
Raymond C. Steele, who was arrested during a three-day sting in Killeen in May 2019, had his misdemeanor charge for promotion of prostitution dismissed last month by a Bell County judge.
A motion to dismiss the charge cited âinsufficient evidence to obtain a conviction of the offense herein.â The motion was filed by Assistant County Attorney Kallee E. Congdon and was signed May 17 by Court at Law No. 2 Judge John Mischtian.
âIâm glad itâs been dropped,â Steele, 51, said Wednesday. âThat made me look bad to people who know me. Anybody who knows me knows I protect women.â
