Case Information

Background
Kristen Marie Galvan was born on April 23, 2004.
In late 2019, Kristen ran away from home with a boyfriend she met online, Aryion Jackson, an aspiring Houston rapper who goes by the stage name Yung Corleon.
A week and a half later, Kristen was eventually found in a house on Bissonnet Street, a thoroughfare in Houston notorious for street prostitution and gun crime. Jackson turned out to be a pimp who sex trafficked a dozen women and girls, including Kristen.
Kristen was rescued and returned to her parents in Spring, Texas, but she had suffered severe trauma from being a victim of sex trafficking. She gradually began to recover and got her cell phone privileges back in January 2020.
At the time of her disappearance, Kristen was visiting her grandmother for winter break in The Woodlands, near Spring, Texas. She was a good student and was a member of her school’s Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps and the drill team.
Disappearance
On January 2, 2020, Kristen Galvan was last seen at her grandmother’s home in Spring, Texas. She disappeared after having been just rescued two and a half weeks before, a day after she was given back her phone.

Investigation
Authorities believe that Kristen may have been the victim of sex trafficking a second time. Witnesses reported seeing her pictures on websites known for advertising sexual services.
In March 2021, an ad with a picture of Kristen was listed on an escort website in the Atlanta area, along with several other women. Some of the girls were eventually rescued, but Kristen Galvan was nowhere to be seen.

15 year old with tattoos and makeup.
She definitely looks much older.
Why would her parents let her have a phone or computer after what happened.
Isn’t that how she hooked up with the pimp to begin with.
Teenagers seem to be a lot less intelligent than they were when I was a teen.
The second time that Kristen was believed to have been sex trafficked , was Aryion already serving time , and that another person was responsible ? .
The house in which the girl ‘ s were found , was it in the name of Aryion Jackson ? .
Was Aryion charged for all the girl ‘ s rescue been 12 ( twelve ) , of them ? .
The girl ‘ s that were rescued , did they appear as a separate Disappeared Episode (individually ) ? .
At what stage did the authorities become aware of the house been used for “the purposes / need ‘ s ” as indicated , other than that for residential purposes ? .
Was it common knowledge within the neighborhood , that the house was been used for the activities as mentioned , was any activity reported to the authorities , that was not deemed , to be considered as normal residential purposes ? .
Why would her parents give her a cellphone after being rescued from a sex trafficker 2 1/2 weeks? When they are subjected to sex trafficking by the pimp(s) they are groomed by being raped multiple times, threats, beatings, drugs until they break their will. For someone that has been through such a horrific experience, it takes time, intensive therapy and a lot of patience in breaking them out of that grooming that the pimp(s) molded the victim into.
I can assure you the scars will always be there deep within your soul but those that make it & finally understand that it was not their fault what happened to him/her will become warriors and will not let the horrible ordeal define them. I can talk about this because it happened to a family member of mine. Lucky enough we were able to rescue that family member. For quite a few years that family member’s life was rough but got to put life back together, join the military, get marry and have children.
Life is good for my family member but like I said the scars will always be there.
How far were the video ‘ s done from were the crime ‘s area was committed , if they were holiday one ‘ s , as it appeared to be enjoying herself , is it be a place which she would return to , before the crime took place , what could have led to the crime taking place ? .
What I don’t understand is with Arion Jackson trafficking her the first time why was he non existent in your episode on Kristen? Him and the fact he has been charged with trafficking multiple women makes him a huge part of this story.
