Man charged with trafficking, assault on teen, Collin County DA says

A man is accused of trafficking, kidnapping and sexual assault of a 16-year-old girl in Richardsonthe Collin County District Attorney's office said Wednesday.

A grand jury indicted 38-year-old Sheldon Vonshey Evans on Tuesday, court records show. Evans, who is from Atlanta, is charged in connection with trafficking the girl in 2022, aggravated kidnapping and indecency with a child by sexual contact, according to a news release from the DA's office.

Evans did not appear in online Collin County Jail records Thursday, and it is unclear if he has an attorney.

“Sex trafficking will not be tolerated in our community, and I would like to thank the Richardson Police Department for their quick response and rescue of this child,” Collin County DA Greg Willis said in a written statement.

Prosecutors allege that — in December 2022 — Evans met the girl in Atlanta, arranged for her to travel to Texas and picked her up at DFW International Airport before taking her to his apartment where she was attacked.

Court documents say Evans bought the 16-year-old underwear to “make her look and dress older so she could make money,” according to prosecutors. He also allegedly told the girl to call him “Daddy” or “SP” for “Skinny Pimp.”

The girl feared for her safety and contacted her mother in Georgia, and her mother contacted Richardson police, who located the girl and arrested Evans, prosecutors said.
