In October of 2022, the Human Trafficking Unit of the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics (OBN) received an anonymous tip alleging sex trafficking occurring at a residential location (brothel) in northwest Oklahoma City.
OBN HT agents opened an investigation based on the information received, and through various investigative methods, and extensive surveillance, it was determined that between October 2022 and February 2023, approximately a dozen women were trafficked at the brothel.
FENG JIANG and JIAN LIN were identified as persons operating the brothel. Evidence from the investigation shows many of the clients of the brothel were managers and administrators of commercial Oklahoma marijuana farms.
As a result of these investigations, in February 2023, five search warrants were executed at locations within Oklahoma County, including JIANG and LIN’S homes and the brothel.
Numerous items of evidence were collected during these search warrants that further connected JIANG and LIN to the brothel and the sex trafficking of multiple women.
Investigators have further determined that JIANG continued to traffic prostituted women in Oklahoma, while residing in New York, as recently as October 2023.
In September 2023, the Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office Multi-County Grand Jury unit indicted JIANG and LIN on two counts each of human trafficking.
On October 24, 2023, JIANG was taken into custody on the Oklahoma warrant by the New York State Attorney General’s Office and the New York City Police Department. LIN is still a fugitive from multiple Oklahoma warrants.
“I am extremely proud of the men and women of our agency’s Human Trafficking Unit for working tirelessly over the past year to identify these traffickers and secure these indictments. Human trafficking is a nefarious crime that preys on the vulnerable, and my agency is committed to aggressively fighting to protect our citizens from the evil perpetrated by these criminals.” ---OBN Director Donnie Anderson
“With human trafficking far too prevalent in Oklahoma, law enforcement has stepped up its efforts to stamp out this horrific criminal activity. I commend the exemplary work of OBN agents in this case, and I am pleased that the Multi-County Grand Jury indictments bring us a step closer to a safer community. Feng Jiang is thankfully in custody, and I am optimistic that his alleged accomplice, Jian Lin, will be captured shortly.”
---Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond
