Women from Mexico were enticed
From ICE new release
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the results of "Operation Dark Night," into a sex trafficking ring in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina and South Carolina. Authorities said they made 13 criminal arrests and 44 administrative arrests, and rescued as many as 11 victims.
"ICE investigates a wide array of crimes, but the trafficking of women and girls for prostitution is among the most sinister," said ICE Director John Morton said in a statement. "Few crimes so damage their victims and undermine basic human decency. Our fight against this evil must be relentless, both here and abroad."
According to the U.S. indictment, Joaquin "Flaco" Mendez-Hernandez, allegedly conspired with others to transport people across state lines to engage in prostitution.
Mendez-Hernandez also allegedly conspired with others to entice women from Mexico, Nicaragua and elsewhere to travel to the United States with false promises of the "American dream."
Once here, the women allegedly were threatened and forced to commit prostitution at numerous locations in Savannah and throughout the Southeastern United States. Officials said Mendez-Hernandez alleged told a Mexican woman that she would be sent back to her home country unless she serviced 25 clients a day.
Operation Dark Night was led by HSI, with assistance from the FBI; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP); CBP Air and Marine Operations; the Internal Revenue Service's Criminal Investigations; the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department; the Chatham County Sheriff's Office; the Garden City Police Department; and, the Chatham-Savannah Counter Narcotics Team. Assistant U.S. Attorney Tania D. Groover and E. Greg Gilluly Jr. are prosecuting the case on behalf of the United States.
More details are forthcoming.
