Dallas police say human traffickers were preying on women who are not from this country, promising work, but then forcing them into prostitution.
Dallas police and Homeland Security broke up a human trafficking ring after a months-long investigation.
"We received outcries from two very brave victims who have come forward and talked about being forced into prostitution," said Lt. Lisette Rivera. Two women, Arely Lopez Guzman and Fabiola Cardenas, arrested on compelling prostitution, trafficking persons charges and more.Five women were rescued in three locations and authorities say they were duped into prostitution.
"They get caught up with a group that begins by giving them attention and making them feel valued. Over time that relationship turns and that person winds up on the weak side of a power structure," he said."It’s not just a policing problem and it’s not just the courts problem. We know that many of these victims encounter you and me during the day," he said.
