From Fox News: Two Guatemalan illegal immigrants are accused of human trafficking after police found two women at a residence in Lake Worth Beach that was “actively being used as a brothel,” according to authorities.
Yudvin and Glin Zunigalatin are charged with human trafficking, deriving proceeds from prostitution, holding a house of ill fame and resisting, according to county records. Glin Zunigalatin is also charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and sexual battery.
Authorities initially responded to the suspects’ residence after they received a phone call around 7:45 a.m. on Feb. 9 from a young woman who reported being held against her will, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release.
The caller “stated she was sexually assaulted, she was at a club and that someone was going to kill her and she doesn’t want to die,” an arrest warrant states.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office announced in a Facebook press release:
On Sunday, February 9, around 7:45 AM, we received a 911 call from a young woman who reported being held against her will. She was unaware of her exact location but indicated she had been confined in a house for multiple days by two men. Due to the limited information provided and the phone’s general location in a densely populated area, the situation required immediate investigative work.
Deputies began searching for any signs of suspicious activity. Their observation skills led them to notice two males exhibiting suspicious behavior outside a residence (1400 block of Lake Ave, Lake Worth Beach). Upon making contact, the men appeared nervous, prompting the deputies to investigate further.
Through their diligent efforts, the deputies were able to visually confirm the presence of a female inside the residence. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, they made entry into the home and successfully located two victims of a potential human trafficking operation. Their swift and decisive actions led to the arrest of two suspects on the scene.
Detectives from the Human Trafficking Team arrived and assumed the investigation. The facts reported revealed that both victims were recruited under false pretenses and forced to perform commercial sex activity. Detectives found probable cause to arrest Yudvin and Glin Zunigalatin with NO BOND! Both suspects are in the United States Illegally from Guatemala. ICE detainers have been placed on both suspects.
The sheriff’s department also announced details of the case in a press briefing on Monday:
