A shocking sex trafficking case involving a former Klein Cain High School cosmetology teacher and her son has taken a new turn as attorneys file a federal lawsuit against the Klein Independent School District (Klein ISD).
Kedria Grigsby, 50, and her son, Roger Magee, 28, are accused of recruiting and exploiting teenage girls, some as young as 15, for sex trafficking.
The Allegations
The lawsuit centers on a student identified as “Jane Doe,” who claims she was lured into a sex trafficking ring by Grigsby and Magee.
According to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, the victims, aged 15 to 17, were reported as runaways and allegedly taken to local motels under false pretenses of shelter and safety.
Civil rights attorney Bakari Sellers, representing Jane Doe, revealed disturbing details during a press conference.
“Jane Doe was forced to engage with multiple men each night, generating up to $1,000 daily for Grigsby and Magee,” Sellers said.
Investigators have reportedly uncovered text messages and financial transactions on Grigsby’s confiscated phone, linking her to over 100 men. Despite this evidence, none of the men involved have been charged.
Systemic Failures
Sellers criticized Klein ISD for allegedly failing to protect its students. He highlighted instances where Jane Doe sought help but received inadequate support.
“After a teacher reported her bruises to administrators, the student was withdrawn from school instead of receiving assistance,” Sellers stated.
The lawsuit accuses the school district of negligence, claiming it ignored warning signs of Grigsby’s behavior and failed to take appropriate action to safeguard students. Sellers believes there may be additional victims and is urging them to come forward.
“We’re looking for all of these young ladies that were suffering in silence,” he said during the press conference outside Klein ISD headquarters.
Ongoing Investigation
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office is continuing its investigation into the case. Grigsby and Magee were initially arrested in 2023, but the new lawsuit sheds light on the broader systemic issues that may have enabled the alleged exploitation.
The case raises critical questions about the responsibility of educational institutions to protect their students. Sellers is urging accountability, both for the alleged perpetrators and the systems that failed to intervene.
“This is not just about one teacher or one school,” Sellers said. “This is about ensuring that no child falls through the cracks and that those in positions of trust are held to the highest standards.”
The lawsuit seeks justice for Jane Doe and other potential victims, as well as systemic changes to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
