Three illegal immigrants in Louisiana allegedly ran a sex trafficking ring and offered a “menu” of women to potential clients as young as 18 using WhatsApp , federal prosecutors allege.
Officials said Zaira Lopez-Oliva, Kirsis Castellanos-Kirington and Jesus Lopez, known as “El Perro,” were arrested in October after running a sex trafficking ring in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
A source initially tipped off the FBI with screenshots from WhatsApp from El Perro, who sent pictures of scantily clad women who were available for sex acts, according to court documents. Prosecutors allege that the women were forced to have sex with men, who paid anywhere from $40 to $60.
Both Castellanos-Kirington and Lopez-Oliva allegedly helped Lopez with several aspects of the sex trafficking operation.
