Cortez D’Angelo Dennis Charged in Denver-Area Sex Trafficking Case

Deputies say an undercover "Rodeo Rescue" effort during the National Western Stock Show led to the investigation.

  • Dennis, 31, was arrested Sept. 10 and is being held in the Arapahoe County jail on a $500,000 cash bond.
  • He faces charges of human trafficking for sexual servitude and pimping, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.
  • The January operation targeted commercial sex advertisements and resulted in two adult victims being recovered and connected with services.
  • An arrest affidavit alleges Dennis coerced and assaulted women, imposed daily earnings quotas, and used threats and control tactics to keep them from leaving.
