NY Times gets around to Somali Sex Trafficking story

Posted by acorcoran on November 24, 2010

I’m simply posting this unremarkable New York Times story on the now old news about 29 Somalis arrested on sex trafficking charges just so I have the link.

The NYT begins the story entitled, ‘Somalis in Twin Cities shaken by charges of sex trafficking:’

MINNEAPOLIS — When the girl now identified as Jane Doe 2 came under their control in 2006, at age 12, the Somali Outlaws and the Somali Mafia gangs set a firm rule: Their members could have sex with her for nothing; others had to pay with money or drugs.

Repeatedly over the next three years, in apartments, motel rooms and shopping center bathrooms in Minnesota and Tennessee, the girl performed sexual acts for gang members and paying customers in succession, according to a federal indictment that charged 29 Somalis and Somali-Americans with drawing young girls into prostitution over the last decade, using abuse and threats to keep them in line, and other crimes. The suspects, now aged 19 to 38, sported nicknames like Hollywood, Cash Money and Forehead, prosecutors said.

Read it all.
