Two Houston-area people were arrested on charges involving sex trafficking, and nine women forced into prostitution were taken into federal custody, officials said on Thursday.
Pedro Corporan Cedano, of Deer Park, was charged with conspiracy to commit sex trafficking, federal officials said. A criminal complaint accuses the 38-year-old of using apartments in Houston and Pasadena to promote and provide commercial sex.
The complaint said the women were in the country illegally, some paying off smuggling fees through prostitution. Cedano is an illegal immigrant from the Dominican Republic, officials said.
Carmen Angeles was charged with harboring illegal immigrants. The 33-year-old was arrested at an apartment on Goodson in Houston, one of the apartments used for sex trafficking, officials said. Angeles is a native of the Dominican Republic and a naturalized U.S. citizen.
