This is not as uncommon as you think. The sex trade is a multnational multibillion dollar industry. It is particularly an issue with women who are either sold into sexual slavery as children or brought to the US for “jobs” but of course it’s all a ruse. I noticed that the women were “brought to the US illegally” so it sounds like a very typical case.

We had one down here in South Florida.

He chased women down the street, beat their heads to a pulp on the hood of his Mercedes and made them eat gravel.
