Small Mexican Town of Tenancingo Is Major Source of Sex Trafficking Pipeline to New York

June 04, 2012 (1 min read)

"In this small Mexican town that sends sex slaves to New York, little boys dream of growing up to be pimps.  Gaudy gabled houses that rise above gated walls are proof of the profits to be made from funneling “delivery girls” to Roosevelt Ave. in Queens.  An annual parade contingent of pimps in plumed hats — wielding whips to settle business beefs — is evidence that cash and fear has conquered shame here." - Erica Pearson, NY Daily News, June 3, 2012.
