Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch, Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Sarah R. Saldaña, Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”), Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Vanita Gupta, head of the Civil Rights Division, and Angel M. Melendez, Special Agent in Charge of the New York Field Office of ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (“HSI”), announced the unsealing of a 21-count superseding indictment (the “Indictment”) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York charging seven defendants with sex trafficking offenses. The Indictment, which was returned under seal on September 15, 2016, alleges that the defendants are members of an international sex trafficking organization that exploited and trafficked adult and minor women in Mexico and in the United States from at least 2000 to 2016. Members of the defendants’ sex trafficking organization, which operated largely as a family business, used false promises, physical and sexual violence, and threats to force and coerce adult and minor women to work in prostitution for the organization’s profit in both Mexico and the United States.
