According to the AG’s office, during the investigation, authorities developed evidence that the defendants allegedly recruited victims, advertised sexual services, set up locations and appointments for sexual encounters, transported the victims, escorted customers into the locations and facilitated the exchange of money.
The AG’s Office alleges that the victims rarely, if ever, left the locations once arriving and, if so, were always accompanied by one of the defendants.
