Florida woman charged with smuggling in woman from Mexico, forcing her into sex slavery

This is just awful. A Florida woman has been charged with smuggling in a woman from Mexico under the agreement that she would be paid to be a surrogate mother, and then forcing her to have sex with men.

A Jacksonville woman has been indicted on charges that she engaged in sex trafficking by smuggling a 26-year-old Mexican woman into the United States and then subjecting her to years of involuntary labor — at times including forced sex.

Esthela M. Clark, 46, of Jacksonville, is charged with 12 counts related to alien smuggling, labor trafficking and sex trafficking offenses, according to a 41-page federal indictment released by the Justice Department on Wednesday.

Clark is accused of initially luring the victim, who does not speak fluent English, into her service with promises of legitimate work and medical care as a surrogate mother in which she could make thousands of dollars.

Instead, Clark smuggled the victim across the border and subjected her to a life of manual labor and inhumane conditions in which the victim endured repeated non-medical insemination procedures, threats, physical abuse, and at times sex with complete strangers, over the course of two years, according to court documents.

This is the kind of stuff that illegal alien advocates overlook – there’s a lot of abuse of people who illegally enter because our borders are so porous. Strengthening the borders would actually prevent this kind of abuse, but it’s rarely reported, even when they’re caught.
