BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Three Mexican men accused of running a major prostitution ring catering to Hispanics in northeast Alabama allegedly paid women $15 to perform sex acts and hired a bounty hunter to pose as a police officer and shut down rival operations.

The men had hundreds of condoms to provide to customers, and they sent profits of as much as $1,000 every three days to the owner of the illicit business in Mexico, according to court documents filed by prosecutors.

One women had sex with upward of 80 men daily toward the end of each week, the prosecutors' documents say, and agents were told that women from eight Latin American countries worked at the trailer-park brothel in Marshall County.
