OMAHA, NEB. (KMTV) — United States Attorney Joe Kelly’s office says four men from Omaha have been indicted for “conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking of a minor and individual counts of sex trafficking of minors.”

The suspects are:

  • Thomas Holbert aka “T”
  • Lance Harper
  • Dalonte Foard
  • Glenn Whitney aka “G” or “G-Lo”

The four suspects allegedly recruited minors and transported them to areas in and around Omaha and Norfolk, Nebraska where online ads were put up to arrange “commercial sex acts” with the victims.

Kelly’s office alleges the conspiracy utilized threats of violence and drugs to control the victims and thanked other area law enforcement agencies for their help in the investigation process.

“There is no higher priority than the prosecution of people who commit these evil acts," Kelly said. "Human trafficking prosecutions require the excellent federal, state, and local cooperation that was involved in this case.”

If convicted, the four face life imprisonment.
