US: Nigerians named among those arrested
The three men identified by HPD are Sunday Okorie, Januarius Ezeike, both Nigerian nationals, and Arron Ingram. All three face felony adult-services charges as buyers under Texas law, which criminalises the purchase of sexual services.
HPD posted the names and photographs of all three individuals above the caption describing the charges, a practice the department uses to publicly document felony adult-services arrests.
Texas law classifies the buying of sexual services as a state jail felony for a first offence, with penalties increasing for repeat offences or cases involving minors.
