Three individuals have been indicted on felony charges related to human trafficking in Oklahoma, following investigations by the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics (OBN) Human Trafficking Unit and the Oklahoma City Police Department (OCPD) Vice Unit. The indictments were handed down this week by Attorney General Gentner Drummond’s Multi-County Grand Jury.
Charquion Pope, currently incarcerated at Mack Alford Correctional Center, is accused of running a human trafficking operation from within the prison. According to authorities, an investigation that began in February 2025 found that Pope maintained several social media accounts where he identified himself as a “pimp” and posted his phone number in commercial sex advertisements. During a Victim Recovery Operation conducted that same month, agents discovered communications indicating Pope was advertising a victim for commercial sex, coordinating with buyers, scheduling acts, and collecting payments.
The OBN said it corroborated details of its investigation with records from the Department of Corrections. It is alleged that Pope used multiple contraband cell phones while incarcerated to operate his trafficking activities.
In a separate incident, Alaze Grant and Danasia Turner are accused of trafficking another victim for commercial sex in Oklahoma City. In January 2026, OCPD Vice officers responded to a residence where they encountered Grant, Turner, and the victim. Investigators allege that Grant and Turner advertised the victim for commercial sex online, scheduled appointments with customers, coerced participation in sex acts, and collected money from clients.
Attorney General Gentner Drummond stated: “Human trafficking is exploitation in its most calculated and predatory form. Whether operating from a prison cell or a neighborhood residence, those who manipulate and profit from vulnerable individuals will be aggressively pursued and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
All individuals charged are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
Gentner Drummond leads the Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office, focusing on combating crime—including organized crime—ensuring government transparency, strengthening tribal relations, and upholding state laws against serious offenses such as drug distribution and child exploitation. His background includes nearly thirty years of legal experience along with military service as a U.S. Air Force pilot.
