SiN2.0 Sex Information Network

Maximino "El Chimino" Mondragon, an immigrant from El Salvador that had set up a string of seemingly legitimate bars in Houston, Texas, was arrested in 2005 for illegally smuggling women from Central America into Houston for exploitation as sex workers. Documents released to the public last week give a graphic account of how betrayal, abuse, and threats of violence against the women’s' family members were used to enslave and oppress the women into accepting their fate as sex slaves.
