Houston, TX (January 28, 2020) Today, the Harris County Attorney’s Office (HCAO) dismissed 36 alleged sex workers from the County’s “Bissonnet Track” anti-prostitution lawsuit, a press release states.
Some of these alleged sex workers have also been confirmed to be human trafficking victims. County Attorney Christian D. Menefee expressed that a civil lawsuit against sex workers is not the answer to decreasing illegal activities in the Southwest Houston area, and only further harms vulnerable people.
In August 2018, the Harris County Attorney’s Office under the previous administration and on behalf of Harris County initiated the case seeking a civil injunction against more than 85 persons. These individuals are accused of directing, engaging in, or soliciting sex work in a section of Southwest Houston known for prostitution. None of the individuals the HCAO dismissed today are accused of being traffickers.
Newly elected Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee asked Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for an advisory opinion on a potential conflict of interest due to his father-in-law's partnership stake in Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson LLP, a firm that has contracts with the county to pursue delinquent debts.
