Consider the following:

In 2017, at least ten girls and young women from Honduras were forced to dance at bars, drink with customers, and encouraged to prostitute themselves in Hudson County, New Jersey to pay back thousands of dollars in smuggling debts to the defendants who were part of a ring reaching from New Jersey to Honduras. The alleged debts to the smugglers were as high as $20,000 per victim. The victims' age ranged from 14 to mid-twenties, and they were all recruited in Honduras with promises for legitimate work in a restaurant in New Jersey. On the way to the US, many of them were raped. At least three of them were forced to abort subsequent pregnancies including at least one late-term abortion. Physical abuse, threats of abuse (to the victims and their families in Honduras), threats of deportation, and warnings not to trust law enforcement were used to deter the victims from escaping.A then-50 year old, female naturalized US citizen from El Salvador was the ringleader of the smuggling operation. She was the owner of three bars and three crowded apartments where the victims were forced to live.Defendant Jose Arnaudlo Isaula-Meza, from Honduras, was the lead coyote. He took the victims from the US-Mexican border and raped some of them, including minors.The other smuggler charged was Jose Isaula-Meza's sister, Elsa Consuelo Isuala-Meza (Houston, Texas). She met some of the girls in Houston and arranged the girls' transportation to the east coast.Defendants Lourdes Rosales Martinez, Zenia Zunilda Martinez and Nancy Floridalma Rosales Martinez, all Honduran natives, recruited the females from villages near Olanchito, Honduras.Defendants Noris Elvira Rosalex Martinez, Ana Luz Rosales Martinez, Jose Dimas Magana, and Rosalba Ortizw collected smuggling fees from the victims and enforced the ring's rules these defendants committed most of the physical abuse.Several of the defendants agreed to plea bargains in which several charges were dropped. At least three of the defendants were in Honduran custody and being charged there.
