COLLEGE STATION MAN CHARGED WITH SEX-TRAFFICKING

  

Bond has been set at $24,000 for a College Station man, arrested on human trafficking charges.

Authorities say 34-year old Herman Henry Fox was arrested last week after he allegedly forced a woman into prostitution.

Authorities received confirmation the woman, who was reported missing out of Louisiana, was staying at the hotel in College Station.

Officials watched her leave her room around noon and walk toward a car. Authorities stopped the woman and the driver of the car.

The woman told authorities they saved her life.  She was taken to an area hospital and treated for several broken ribs.

The woman said Fox had forced her into prostitution.

Authorities traced the online ad for the woman and found the e-mail address it was connected with belonged to Fox.

Fox is charged with human trafficking for sexual conduct and compelling prostitution by force, both second-degree felonies punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000. He is also being held on misdemeanor marijuana possession.

He is being held at the Brazos County Jail.
