Nine alleged Bloods gang
members were indicted on
Wednesday for multiple sex
traffi cking charges, according
to the Bronx District Attorney’s
offi ce.
The gang members, who are
all reportedly Bronx residents
were charged with sex traffi cking
of a child, sex traffi cking,
promoting prostitution and additional
charges for running a
sex traffi cking ring out of multiple
Bronx motels and other
hotels around the city.
“These defendants, who
are allegedly part of the Hunts
Point Family Bloods subset,
ran a sex traffi cking ring from
Bronx motels and manipulated
their victims through drugs
and violence,” said District Attorney
Darcel Clark. “The defendants
used social media to
get to the victims, preying on
teens and young women. My
Human Traffi cking Unit is
helping these victims through
the trauma and will continue
to dismantle these terrible operations
that demean and damage
victims.”
The DA’s offi ce identifi ed
the alleged gang members as
Angel Cano, 22, Luis Cano aka
“Lou,” 23, Brandon Diaz aka
“Billz,” 27, Elvis Dominguez
aka “LV,” 24, Ashley Garcia,
19, Andrew Garcia aka “Drew,”
23, Shaquille Hernandez aka
“Budda,” 22, Eliana Rivadeneira
aka “Faith,” 23 and Abigail
Rodriguez, 31.
For a six month period between
May 6 and Nov. 19, the
investigation found that the
defendants were allegedly running
a sex traffi cking ring. The
covert operation was run from
various Bronx motels including
the 7 Day Inn, 2338 Bruckner
Blvd., Best Western Plus,
926 Sedgwick Ave., Pelham
Garden Motel, 1990 East Gun
Hill Rd. and the Holiday Motel
on the New England Thruway.
The group also reportedly
operated in hotels around New
York City, forcing their victims
to meet with men at private locations.
In order to lure victims,
the sex traffi cking ring used
social media and promises of
money to target innocent individuals.
They took photos
of young girls and used those
images in advertisements on
prostitution-related websites.
The defendants allegedly acted
as middlemen and told the men
where they could meet with the
victims and what sexual acts
they could expect.
The investigation revealed
that the defendants allegedly
beat some of the victims,
punching, slapping and throwing
the girls to the ground.
Other horrifying details found
that the victims were drugged
with Xanax and Percocet in order
to sedate them.
Garcia, Rivadeneira and
Rodriguez were granted supervised
release and are due
back in court March 24, 2021.
If convicted of the top charge,
several defendants face a maximum
sentence of 25 years in
prison.
