    Five Mexican Nationals Sent to Prison for International Sex Trafficking Ring

    Five Mexican Nationals Sent to Prison for International Sex Trafficking Ring


    Getty Images9 Jan 2019


    Five Mexican nationals, members of a notorious international criminal enterprise that forced young women and underage girls from Mexico and Central America into prostitution in the United States, received stiff prison sentences.

    In 2017, a total of eight defendants, all members of the family-based Rendon-Reyes Trafficking Operation, pleaded guilty to racketeering, sex trafficking, and other federal charges following their arrests in Mexico.

    For more than a decade, the Rendon-Reyes Trafficking Operation, based in Tenancingo, Tlaxcala, Mexico, smuggled young women and girls from Mexico and Central America into the United States, forcing them into a life of prostitution, and sexual servitude, according to information provided by the U.S. Department of Justice.Last week, U.S. District Judge Edward R. Korman sentenced five of the Mexican nationals in federal district court in Brooklyn, New York. Jovan “Jovani” Rendon-Reyes, 32, received 20 years in prison. Saul “Satanico” Rendon-Reyes, 41, got 15 years. Felix Rojas, 48, was handed a 25 year sentence. Odilon Martinez-Rojas, 47, and Severiano Martinez-Rojas, 53, each received more than 24 years in prison. Severiano Martinez-Rojas was also sentenced in related case in the Northern District of Georgia, according to the DOJ.

    Two years ago, Breitbart News reported Jovan Rendon-Reyes, Saul Rendon-Reyes, Felix Rojas, Odilon Martinez-Rojas and Severiano Martinez-Rojas pled guilty to “substantive offenses of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion.”

    In a prepared statement, Acting U.S. Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said, “These well-deserved sentences reflect the gravity of the human trafficking crimes these defendants committed.”

    Whitaker added, “The defendants operated an extensive sex trafficking enterprise that preyed on vulnerable young women and girls, deceiving them with false promises, coercing their compliance, and compelling them into submission through beatings, threats, isolation, and intimidation.”

    According to the press release, court documents filed between December 2004 and November 2015 revealed traffickers targeted vulnerable young women, some as young as 14 years old, from impoverished areas of Mexico and Central America. Rendon-Reyes male members often used false promises of love and marriage to lure their victims into sexual slavery where they forced victims to perform as many as 45 sex acts a night and took all of the prostitution proceeds, funneling the money back to Mexico.

    “These individuals will now face the consequences of their callous criminal actions exploiting women and girls whom they forced into sex slavery for profit,” said Derek Benner, executive associate director of Homeland Security Investigations. “Investigating human trafficking remains a priority for HSI, whose primary focus is to rescue victims and release them from the grip of their captors.”

    U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Richard Donoghue called the crimes committed by Rendon-Reyes Trafficking Organization members “brutal and shocking.” He hoped these lengthy sentences would “give the victims in this case some sense of justice.”
    Three more defendants who are also Mexican nationals will be sentenced on January 15, according to the press release. They are Jose “Gusano” Rendon-Garcia, 35; Guillermina Rendon-Reyes, 48; and Francisco “Pancho” Rendon-Reyes, 30. The court will determine what all those sentenced will pay in restitution.

    Whitaker credited the successful prosecutions of the Rendon-Reyes crime syndicate to “strong partnerships” among the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York and the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, the New York Office of the Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Security Investigations and their Mexican law enforcement counterparts.

    As we have learned from the many articles on this subject in the archives, they weren't primarily being "sold" to U.S. citizens, they were provided to illegal male workers. JMO

    How many of these new high tech firms are up to dubious tax practices? It is not only a GOP specialty. I brought this up a dozen times on Heritage Sentinel conference calls. I give up! Instead they wasted a bunch of time to "repeal Obamacare."

    The entire goal of income tax is to figure out how to avoid paying it. Every company uses dubious tax interpretations of expenses and earnings to avoid as much as possible. Sometimes you win with the IRS, sometimes you don't, you pay the tax and a penalty and move on. What they've done to Paul Manafort on this is outrageous!!! The DOJ looked into this years ago and didn't have enough to press charges on tax evasion. Nothing's changed except .... the prosecutor and Manafort's ties to Trump from his short time with the campaign. I don't see how his conviction can stick, I really don't. Also, there are tax courts set up specifically to handle IRS disputes for this very reason because ordinary people serving on a jury have no context, reference, knowledge or capability of determining whether complex business tax treatments were right or wrong. It's just too easy for federal prosecutors to frame someone for tax evasion with a jury.

    We need to pass the FairTax and shut this whole income tax crap down once and for all. I hope one day enough Americans can understand that and demand it. It would be a beautiful thing for our country, businesses, citizens, workers and taxpayers.

    Also, about this 15 to 24 year federal sentences for the 5 Mexicans for running a kidnapping forced and coercive sex slavery prostitution ring for over 10 years. In comparison, the first person to be released from federal prison under Trump's new First Step Act, the criminal justice reform that for some reason is controversial, that among other things is releasing several thousand federal prisoners, was sentenced in 1996 for 35 years, first charge and conviction, for selling crack to a government informant.

    People need to think about that and maybe after awhile those who don't yet understand why the First Step Act is such a fantastic step forward for our country and citizens, will understand why it was not only the right thing to do, it was long, long overdue.

    And of course, the person sentenced to 35 years for selling crack to a government informant was a Black American.

    God Bless Donald Trump.
