Miami Man Accused In Nationwide Prostitution Ring Reporting

A South Florida man accused of running a nationwide prostitution ring that preyed on immigrant women has been charged in a federal indictment.

Federal investigators say Rafael Bernabe-Caballero of Miami along with Michael Porru of Maryland set up a website called MiamiUltimate.com which recruited young women to work as escorts. It also promised men the 'ultimate' in dating experiences.

MiamiUltimate provides customized personal attention to all of our clients. We have the highest standards and handpick all of our girls. We are an elite agency and only work for the best - what you see really is what you get. We pride ourselves on being more than an agency, we are a personalized service and want to establish a long-term relationship with all of our clients. Whether you are looking for an hour date or a weekend companion, we are committed to your satisfaction.

The website also made it clear with a disclaimer that the company only provided girls for modeling services and companionship.

Because we are an upscale agency, we expect our clients to understand the nature of companionship services and will not answer any obscene type of questions. Money exchanged in legal adult personal services for modeling is simply for time and companionship. Anything else that may or may not occur is matter of personal choice and personal preferences between two or more consenting adults of legal age and is not contracted for, nor is it requested to be contracted in any manner.

Federal investigators, however, found a very different story. Once hired, the women were allegedly ordered to meet their first client in Tysons Corner, Virginia; they were also told they were expected to perform sexual acts. The women were sent around the country to work, according to the Washington Examiner which first reported the story. If the women refused to work or threatened to leave, Bernabe-Caballero reportedly threatened to kill them or turn them over to immigration officials.


The indictment against both men was filed in Monday in federal court in Michigan.

I am sorry for the women they made prostitute's, however, I don't want to financially support them. The women need to reunite with their familes in Mexico. ALL illegals need to leave our country.

Any woman who would respond to an ad asking for "models" and not know what it's about is stupid. I mean, cmon! Do they really expect men to pay for their "companionship"? Consider how the men in their own countries treat women and they know exactly what they're getting into. Anything for money. The pimps should be jailed, the illegals should be deported. Screaming "victim" doesn't work for me here.

In cases that the girls are minors, the parents should also be jailed.

Unfortunatly there are alot smuggling girls in for this.........my heart goes out to them to think they are comming here for freedom and a better life and this is what they get. You don't want to know what I'd like to do the coyotes who do this and the ones who participate in this.
