15-year-old Kristen Galvan was last seen in Spring, Texas on January 2, 2020. She disappeared from her grandmother’s house after having been just rescued from se*x trafficking two and a half weeks before.
Background
She came into the world on April 23, 2004.
Late in 2019, Kristen ran away from home with Aryion Jackson, a boyfriend she met online. Aryion is a wannabe rapper from Houston who goes by the stage name Yung Corleon.
After a week and a half, Kristen was finally found in a house on Bissonnet Street, a Houston street known for gun crime and prostitution. Jackson turned out to be a se*x trafficker who used Kristen and a dozen other women and girls.
Kristen was rescued and taken back to her parents in Spring, Texas, but being a victim of se*x trafficking had caused her a lot of trauma. She slowly started to get better, and in January 2020, she was able to use her cell phone again.
Kristen was on winter break with her grandmother in The Woodlands, which is near Spring, Texas, when she went missing. She was in the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps and the drill team at her school and did well in school.
The Disappearance
On January 2, 2020, Kristen Galvan was last seen at her grandmother’s home in Spring, Texas. She disappeared after having been just rescued two and a half weeks before, a day after she was given back her phone.
Kristen Galvan never returned home and hasn’t been heard from since.
Investigation
Authorities believe that Kristen may have been the victim of s*ex trafficking a second time. Witnesses reported seeing her pictures on websites known for advertising se*xual services.
On an escort website in the Atlanta area in March 2021, there was an ad with a picture of Kristen and a few other women. Some of the girls were saved in the end, but Kristen Galvan was not to be found.
Houston Rapper Sentenced To Nearly 30 years In Prison
The 24-year-old Aryion Dupree Jackson admitted to trafficking a child for se*x and planning to traffic an adult woman through force, fraud, or coercion on February 14, 2023. He was given 27 years in federal prison.
Court records show that Jackson kept 12 girls and women in a house on Bissonnet Street in Houston, Texas, and forced them to work for $1,000 a day by using drugs, threats, and beatings. He also sold them for se*x.
Jackson said he didn’t know where Kristen Galvan was or what happened to her. He was caught with drugs and cell phones, though, while he was in jail, and it turned out that he was still controlling several victims through phone calls.
Whereabouts
Kristen Galvan is thought to have been ki*lled after she disappeared. The police thought that Kristen might have been a victim of se*x trafficking again.
