Seven men have been indicted on sex trafficking charges in
what federal officials said on Tuesday was an international
organization that exploited adult and underage women for more than a
decade in Mexico and the United States.
Four
of the men — identified as Efrain Granados-Corona, 41; Alan
Romero-Granados, 24; and the brothers Pedro Rojas-Romero, 37, and Emilio
Rojas-Romero, 34 — were arrested in Mexico by the authorities there
last week. Raul Romero-Granados, 32, and Isaac Lomeli-Rivera, 34, were
arrested in the United States, the United States attorney’s office in
Manhattan said. The seventh man, Juan Romero-Granados, brother of Alan,
remained a fugitive.
All seven could face life sentences in federal court in New York on charges of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking.
