From Fox News: Two illegal immigrants have been arrested in Palm Beach County, Florida, in connection to the sex trafficking of a 15-year-old girl from New York City, authorities said Monday.
Detectives began working the case after receiving an anonymous tip about a teen runaway, missing since Sept. 12, who was believed to be the victim of a sex trafficking operation, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said during a news conference.
Investigators used commercial sex ads to track down the minor and begin communication as a ruse to recover the minor. Detectives found the minor at a Motel 6 in Riviera Beach. She indicated that two individuals who both played a role in the sex trafficking were two to three doors down.
Investigators said the victim was recruited in New York City and trafficked down to Florida to perform sex acts for money. Officials said she was forced to perform sex acts at least 10 times.
Yenire Karolina Pache Coleiton, a 33-year-old Colombian national, and Enyerbert Blanco, a previously deported 27-year-old Venezuelan national, were both arrested in connection to sex trafficking the teen.
Referring to Blanco, Sheriff Bradsaw voiced his disgust, saying, “How can he be out on bond for attempted murder out of New York, he gets arrested in Miami for drug trafficking, and he’s out walking around? That’s unconscionable.”
