Indictments reveal severe abuse, minor trafficking, and secret back-room operations allegedly behind the doors of a Dallas adult store
DALLAS — Federal court documents are revealing new details after eight people were indicted in connection with an alleged commercial sex operation run out of the Paris Adult Book Store on Harry Hines Boulevard.
The unsealed federal indictment comes following a coordinated, multi-agency raid in February 2026. The sting operation involved the Dallas Police Department, Plano Police Department, IRS, and Department of Justice, capping off an investigation that lasted at least a year. Law enforcement officers executed search warrants at Paris Adult Book Store in Dallas as well as a home on Coral Cove Court in Plano.

According to federal prosecutors, six defendants managed, controlled, and operated the store:
Montre Lamont Mason, also known as “Trey” and “Unc”Eileen Mason, also known as “Mama” and “Ma”Treylynn Love Mason, also known as “NuNu”Larry Jones, also known as “Big Guy”Aaron Tyrone BetfordKrishenda Doss
Two additional defendants, Reginald Rose and Antonio Dario Osorio-Avelar, were charged in connection with sex trafficking at the location.
“These arrests send a clear message that this U.S. Attorney’s Office will work with our federal partners to investigate and aggressively prosecute anyone involved in the depraved and dehumanizing crime of sex trafficking. We will ensure these perpetrators are held accountable so the victims can receive the justice they are owed,” said U.S. Attorney Ryan Raybould.
Commercial sex operation alleged in back rooms
Court documents state the defendants operated the front part of the store as a retail business selling sex toys and novelty items. However, officials claim the back area contained two private, locked hallways with individual “arcade” rooms used to facilitate commercial sex transactions.
The store sits along a stretch of Harry Hines Boulevard known locally as “the blade” or “the track.” Prosecutors say sex workers negotiated transactions outside before entering the business, where employees charged cash fees—typically at least $20—to unlock the back arcade rooms.
Married defendants, Eileen Mason and Montre Lamont Mason allegedly instructed staff to refer to pimps as “money managers” and sex workers as “queens” or “ladies of the night,” but never as “pimp” or “prostitute.” The indictment says “commercial sex workers could also be banned from PARIS for causing the police to respond” to the store. Banned commercial sex workers “could be allowed to return to PARIS to engage in dates if they did what was required by staff, including paying for dinner for the entire staff,” according to court documents.
Allegations of minor trafficking and physical violence
The indictment alleges that in 2023, Antonio Dario Osorio-Avelar “trafficked three juvenile females” at the bookstore. Montre Lamont Mason, Larry Jones, and Osorio-Avelar face charges of sex trafficking of a minor related to “Minor Victim 1.” Court records state after law enforcement recovered the minor, “she was told to purchase food for the entire staff of PARIS in order to be able to continue engaging in commercial sex in PARIS’ back arcade rooms.”
Court documents also highlight visible physical abuse suffered by victims. Some sex workers interacting with employees had “visible bruising on their bodies, black eye(s), road rash, stab wounds, and other visible injuries.” In one instance, a victim allegedly trafficked by Reginald Rose pointed out a black eye to employee Krishenda Doss, stating it was from her pimp, according to officials.
Additionally, prosecutors noted an August 2024 incident where a sex worker who solicited outside the bookstore was kidnapped and murdered by Nasson Haazzard.
Federal charges filed
All eight defendants face conspiracy to commit sex trafficking. Some defendants face additional counts include sex trafficking through force, fraud, and coercion, conspiracy to launder monetary instruments, and felon in possession of a firearm.
If convicted, several defendants will face life in prison.
