9/25/2015 – OKC, OK — An Oklahoma City man and woman have been charged with felonies stemming from a prostitution sting back in May.
According to court records, undercover officers with the Oklahoma City Police Department’s Vice Unit were conducting a sting back on May 13.
An undercover officer replied to an online advertisement for prostitution posted on Backpage.com.
The officer was directed to go to room 217 at the Executive Inn, located on the NW Expressway, just west of N. MacArthur Blvd.
The officer arrived around 11 p.m., once inside the motel room the female offered to perform oral sex on him in exchange for $130.
As the woman was being taken into custody and processed at the scene, a male walked into the motel room.
Undercover officers inside the room identified themselves to the male and proceeded to perform a pat search upon him.
During that search officers found a credit card used to purchase online escort ads. The man also had five $100 bills on him – which were promptly seized as criminal proceeds.
The female has since been identified as Kushenda Myesha Mabery, 23, of Oklahoma City.
The male was identified as 36-year-old Jeffrey Allen Gray, also from Oklahoma City.
On July 21, Mabery and Gray were formally criminally charged in Oklahoma County.
Both were charged with felony computer crimes – placing the ads on Backpage.com. And, Mabery was also charged with misdemeanor offering to engage in prostitution.
No word as to why Gray was not also charged with aiding and abetting prostitution.
Mabery’s current bond is set at $5,000.
Gray was recently re-arrested and returned to jail this past Monday.
Mabery and Gray were in custody at the Oklahoma County Jail at the time of this publication.
A new felony charge was filed against Gray yesterday in Oklahoma County. No details on the specific nature of those charges has been released.
No other criminal history for Gray or Mabery could be found.
JohnTV will continue to follow this case.
