DaJanaye Drake, Obstruction of Sex Trafficking Enforcement, Louisiana 2021

A Houston-area woman has been charged with obstruction of the enforcement of the federal criminal sex trafficking statute.

According to court documents, 28-year-old DaJanaye Drake, from Missouri City, Texas, committed the crimes between June 25, 2021, and November 28, 2021.

DaJanaye Drake has been charged with obstruction, attempted obstruction, and interference with the enforcement of the federal criminal sex trafficking statute, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1591(d).

If convicted, DaJanaye Drake faces a maximum term of up to 25 years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000.00, up to 5 years of supervised release after imprisonment, and a mandatory $100 special assessment fee per count.

U. S. Attorney Duane A. Evans reiterated that a bill of information is merely a charge and that the guilt of the defendant must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.

U.S. Attorney Evans praised the work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office in this matter. Assistant United States Attorney Jordan Ginsberg is in charge of the prosecution.
