Logan County is located just north of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and has approximately 51,000 residents. Prostitution and sex trafficking activity have been well-documented in its communities and unincorporated areas, particularly in the rest stops and exits on the Interstate 35 corridor that runs north/south through the county. Among the more serious problems associated with prostitution in the area are child sex trafficking and women in prostitution being targeted by serial killers.

Prostitution and sex trafficking along Oklahoma highways are longstanding problems. For example, the rest stops on I-35 north of the Logan County-Oklahoma County line have been shut down in the past because of problems with prostitution. They were closed in 1981 amid reports of semi-nude women jumping out of trucks, gun-toting pimps shooting each other, and robberies. They later reopened, and starting in August 1982 the gates were closed and locked at night. The rest stops, called “Dolly Park” by truckers because of the number of prostituted women and girls working there, reopened again in December 1985. In 1993, in a three week period the Logan County Sheriff’s Office arrested 27 women at the I-35 rest stops on prostitution complaints. More recently, massage parlor prostitution in the area has been problematic. For example, in 2018 a couple was arrested and held in the Oklahoma County Jail, accused of prostitution and human trafficking out of a massage parlor. Oklahoma City Police led the investigation into the illegal business and received aid from other metro, federal, and military law enforcement agencies. The massage parlor on Southeast 29th Street in Del City was shut down after an eight-month investigation into the alleged prostitution and human trafficking coordinated out of the massage parlor. The owner was from Thailand and provided Thai girls to come over and be exploited in prostitution.
