Marietta resident Luz M. Gutierrez, 56, pleaded guilty Friday in Atlanta's federal district court to conspiracy to entice individuals to cross state lines to engage in prostitution, and bringing illegal immigrants to metro Atlanta to work in brothels, U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates said in a news release.

The Cobb County Police Department assisted in the investigation of Gutierrez who operated a Marietta house of prostitution where she employed illegal aliens, both as house caretakers and prostitutes. She regularly solicited illegal alien prostitutes living in other states, including Alabama, Florida, North Carolina, and Massachusetts, to travel to Georgia, where they worked for her and Epifania Sanchez Delarosa, her co-defendant, who also allegedly operated brothels.

She also recruited prostitutes who lived in Georgia to travel to Alabama and work for an associate who owned and managed brothels in that state.

Police rounded up Gutierrez and the others at an illegal brothel in the 300 block of Oakridge Drive in Marietta.
A federal indictment also listed Marietta houses on Seminole Drive and West Atlanta Street and an apartment on Franklin Road as being used by the defendants for prostitution, The Marietta Daily Journal reported at the time.

Gutierrez was indicted in Dec. 6 on two counts of conspiracy, two counts of enticing individuals to cross state lines to engage in prostitution, and two counts of encouraging and inducing aliens to reside unlawfully in the U.S. She pleaded guilty to one conspiracy count.

She could receive a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a fine of $250,000.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Batten will sentence her July 10.

Five other people arrested in the December operation have pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing, the U.S. Attorney's Office said: Maria D. Rodriguez Hererra; Taina Calderon; Saul Morales Villareal; Romualda Resendiz Perez; and Oscar Rodriguez.

Sanchez Delarosa and Jose Miguel Almonte have not pleaded. They are awaiting a trial date.

Eight people were arrested before dawn Thursday after dozens of federal, state and local law-enforcement officers descended on a house at 350 Oakridge Drive, off West Atlanta Street in Marietta.

All eight “have been charged in a federal indictment with transporting or enticing women for purposes of prostitution and alien harboring,” according to an FBI spokesman, and were arraigned before U.S. Magistrate Judge E. Clayton Scofield III on Friday.

Those arrested included Jose Miguel Almonte; Luz M. Gutierrez; Epifania Sanchez Delarosa; Maria D. Rodriguez Herrera; Romualda Resendiz Perez; Saula Morales Villareal; and Oscar Lnu.

Only one, defendant Tiena Calderon, a U.S. citizen from New York, was granted bond.

The 30-page indictment, which was returned on Tuesday and unsealed Friday, charges that the defendants owned, operated or were employed in seven prostitution houses in residential areas in Atlanta, Marietta, Norcross, and Duluth.

Three of the defendants recruited women from Georgia and other states to work as prostitutes, including some illegal immigrants, according to the indictment.

Cobb tax records indicate the house on Oakridge Drive is owned by Patria Jumelles and Jose Raymundo Almonte.

Three other residences in Cobb — one in the 600 block of Seminole Drive; an apartment unit in the complex at 1035 Franklin Road; and a house in the 400 block of West Atlanta Street — were also listed in the indictment as being houses of prostitution operated by the defendants.

Mexican Brothels Coming to a Neighborhood Near You

July 26th, 2009
Illegal alien and convicted felon Emma Tlacoxolal-Perez was sentenced this week in U.S. District Court to 33 months in prison for running brothels in Chesapeake, Newport News, James City County and Williamsburg.

The Mexican national was the head of a prostitution ring which employed women smuggled into this country from Mexico, and only catered to other illegal aliens. Tlaccoxablal-Perez, along with co-conspirator Felipe Vargas-Ortega, passed out business cards to advertise for the brothel known as El Nopal (The Prickly Pear).

Two more alleged co-conspirators, Francisco Sanchez-Martinez and Juan Carlos Vargas-Ortega, are scheduled for trial in September.

Mexican brothels coming to a neighborhood near you

Illegal alien and convicted felon Emma Tlacoxolal-Perez was sentenced this week in U.S. District Court to 33 months in prison for running brothels in Chesapeake, Newport News, James City County and Williamsburg.

The Mexican national was the head of a prostitution ring which employed women smuggled into this country from Mexico, and only catered to other illegal aliens. Tlaccoxablal-Perez, along with co-conspirator Felipe Vargas-Ortega, passed out business cards to advertise for the brothel known as El Nopal (The Prickly Pear).

Two more alleged co-conspirators, Francisco Sanchez-Martinez and Juan Carlos Vargas-Ortega, are scheduled for trial in September.

Tlacoxolal-Perez, 37, who has operated brothels in the Hampton Roads area since 2004, was actually deported in 2006, but easily found her way back across the largely unprotected border.

Customers paid $30 for 15 minutes with one of the prostitutes, the ring leaders kept half of it.

The Newport News location was in a suburban neighborhood and Mexican men typically went through the neighborhood at all hours, knocking on folks; doors looking for the brothel.

Managing Assistant U.S. Attorney Howard J. Zlotnick told the court: “The poor people living on Eastwood Drive,” had to live with "strange men knocking on their doors looking for girls."


All of those involved are illegal aliens from Mexico, El Salvador, and Ecuador.

Though it may be surprising to some that houses of prostitution catering exclusively to illegal aliens have set up shop in this country’s neighborhoods, the problem has become widespread. The following is a small sample of some of those cases across the country:

-In February 2009, local police and federal agents raided a brothel run by Mexican nationals in Glen Burnie, MD

-In September 2008, police in Baltimore, MD shut down a Mexican brothel and arrested Carlos Silot, who ran the operation, along with two prostitutes, all were illegal aliens. Court documents show that at this particular brothel, the women would work for seven days and then sent back to North Carolina, and exchanged for new prostitutes.

-In June 2007, police in San Antonio arrested a mother and her two daughters for smuggling two minors out of Mexico to use them as prostitutes. Once in the U.S., the girls ages 15 and 17, were told they would have to work as prostitutes for five years to pay off their smuggling fees of $3,000. They were threatened at gunpoint and told that if they did run away, that their families back in Mexico would be killed.

Isabel Ochoa, 60, received time served. Consuelo Ochoa, 34, was sentenced to 18 months for sex-trafficking and an additional 39 months for a separate drug case. Maria Ochoa, 32, was sentenced to 12 months and one day.

-In March 2007, police in Madison, TN raided a Mexican brothel in a residential area and arrested Mexican nationals Santos Perez and Jose Garcia who ran the operation, along with two Mexican prostitutes.

Again, the brothel charged $30 per customer. The women were forced to have sex with dozens of men every day.

A Madison Police detective told News Channel 5: "It's pretty terrible. I don't think these girls want to be there. These girls don't want to be forced to do 30 customers a day.”

At the time of the raid, police told reporters that they were investigating at least 10 Mexican brothels in the Nashville area.

-In January 2006, police in Charlotte, NC raided two brothels run by Mexican nationals, both were crowded with women smuggled into this country and held against their will.

The Charlotte Observer reported that the leaders of these prostitution rings bring Mexican and Central American women in and out of Charlotte, exchanging them for women in Raleigh and Greensboro. One of these women could typically be sold between the pimps for $130 each.

Just as illegal aliens have spread throughout the United States, an epidemic of human trafficking to supply the brothels which cater to them has spread to every corner of this nation.

Most of these women are confined in locked rooms with nothing but the clothes on their backs, and are often beaten. Of course, the women who are kept in these prostitution rings are illegal aliens as well, and are afraid to report what is being done to them. They are told that if they leave, their families back home will be murdered.

In addition to the dangers that come with having illegal alien men roaming around our neighborhoods in the middle of the night, in search of cheap sexual gratification, we now have large-scale prostitution rings engaging in kidnapping and human trafficking.

Apparently, many illegal aliens are also doing the jobs that American women won’t do as well.

Marietta madam pleads guilty in prostitution ring

by MDJ staff

April 21, 2012 12:00 AM


ATLANTA — A sixth person arrested by federal agents in December on charges of running a prostitution ring in Marietta has pleaded guilty, federal prosecutors said.

Luz M. Gutierrez, 56, of Marietta could be sentenced to five years in prison and a fine of $250,000 when she is sentenced in July. Her case is assigned to U.S. District Judge Timothy C. Batten.

She was among eight people arrested during a pre-dawn raid on Dec. 8 at a home in the 300 block of Oakridge Drive in Marietta that prosecutors allege was a house of prostitution. All eight owned, operated or were employed in seven prostitution houses in residential areas in Atlanta, Marietta, Norcross and Duluth, according to authorities.

Five of those people — Maria D. Rodriguez Hererra, Taina Calderon, Saul Morales Villareal, Romualda Resendiz Perez and Oscar Rodriguez — previously pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing before Judge Batten, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, while cases against Epifania Sanchez Delarosa and Jose Miguel Almonte are pending.

Prosecutors say Gutierrez employed illegal aliens, both as house caretakers and as prostitutes, at the Marietta home. She also regularly solicited illegal aliens living in other states to come to Georgia to work for her as prostitutes, and sent prostitutes from Georgia to Alabama to work for an associate who operated brothels there.

Three other residences in Cobb — one in the 600 block of Seminole Drive; an apartment unit in the complex at 1035 Franklin Road; and a house in the 400 block of West Atlanta Street — were also listed in the indictment as being houses of prostitution operated by the defendants.

Police probe armed robbery at alleged brothel in Riverhead

Balsamo Southampton Town police are searching for several armed robbery suspects after the men allegedly broke into a brothel run out of a Riverside home Saturday night before stabbing the victims and stealing cash. Police said several men – armed with guns and machetes – forced their way into a home at 131 Old Quogue Road in Riverside at 6:19 p.m. Saturday. Once inside the house, the men allegedly tied up the occupants using rope and ransacked the home. Investigators said two of the victims suffered knife wounds and were treated and released from a local hospital.

Police allege Cristian R. Perez-Garcia, 29, was operating a prostitution business inside the home. He was arrested and charged with third-degree prostitution. His arraignment was set for Sunday at the Southampton Town Justice Court.

A police news release said he told investigators the men stole more than $3,500 in cash and also snatched phones, wallets and credit cards before taking off. The suspects were described in a news release only as being “Hispanic males.” Detectives say they are also looking to find men who were customers of the brothel when it was robbed. They allegedly ran from the home before police arrived, according to investigators.
Police also arrested Luz Espinal, 34, of Brooklyn, and Yasmin Paniagua, 40, of the Bronx, and charged each of them with misdemeanor prostitution. The two women were released from police custody Saturday night after being issued desk appearance tickets. Cops say they will be due in court later this moth for arraignment.

Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call Southampton Town Police at 631-702-2230.
