A Klein, Texas high school cosmetology teacher, Kedria Grisby, and her son, Roger Magee, were arrested on charges of child sex trafficking and compelling prostitution. Grisby is accused of recruiting teenage students, who were reportedly runaways, from the school where she worked to work as prostitutes. Court records allege that Grisby offered the students a hotel room to live in as part of the recruitment efforts. Evidence presented during court proceedings showed text messages between one female complainant and Magee, discussing payment for prostitution services through Zelle. Grisby allegedly paid for the hotel room where the incidents took place. The victims in this case were reported to be ages 15, 16, and 17.
The investigation has led to multiple other teens coming forward and accusing Grisby of attempting to recruit them while they were attending school. The school district where Grisby was employed, Klein Cain High School, released a statement alerting families of students about the situation. Grisby was immediately apprehended and placed on administrative leave as soon as the district was notified of her arrest. The district stated that they have no intention of allowing Grisby to return to the high school or school district. The letter to families emphasized their commitment to cooperating with law enforcement to ensure justice for anyone involved in such acts. The district assured families that the safety of their students is their utmost priority.
Grisby was held on a $750,000 bond and is prohibited from contacting any witnesses or having unsupervised interactions with minors as part of her release conditions. Magee, her son, was arrested in November 2022 and remains in jail. The investigation into the matter is ongoing and being conducted by the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Trafficking Unit. The sheriff’s office reported that the victims were runaways and students of Grigsby’s school. The situation has caused unease and concern among the community and school families, but the district has pledged to handle the situation transparently and prioritize the safety of their students.
The evidence presented during court proceedings includes text messages between one of the victims and Magee discussing payment for prostitution services through Zelle, implicating Grisby in the recruitment and facilitation of the prostitution operation. In response to the arrests, the school district has taken immediate action to address the situation, ensuring that Grigsby was apprehended and placed on administrative leave. They have also communicated with families of students to keep them informed and reassured of their commitment to cooperating with law enforcement to bring justice to those involved in harming children. The investigation into the case is ongoing, and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Trafficking Unit is leading the efforts to uncover more details and potentially identify additional victims who may have been involved in the operation.
The allegations against Grisby and Magee have shocked the Klein, Texas community and raised concerns about the safety of students in the school district. The school district’s swift response and communication with families have been crucial in addressing the situation and ensuring that Grisby is not allowed to return to the school or have contact with minors. The ongoing investigation by law enforcement aims to uncover the extent of the operation and hold those responsible accountable for their actions. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance and cooperation between school authorities, families, and law enforcement to protect the well-being of children and prevent exploitation and trafficking in communities.
