A video of a trafficking victim narrowly escaping a Mesquite man after he punched her in a Plano parking lot went viral on Twitter last week and rekindled a conversation on the horrors of human and sex trafficking.Â
The surveillance footage captured 29-year-old Ricky Stevenson of Mesquite punching the female victim (which made her fall on the ground), grabbing her by her hair and clothes and forcing her to enter the passenger's seat of his white sedan. The incident took place on Jan. 21, 2021 in the parking lot of a nail salon in the 5700 block of Legacy Drive.Â
