The NYPD is investigating if the deadly Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua is pimping women in Queens’ “Market of Sweethearts” — where dozens of prostitutes boldly plied their trade this week in defiance of a law-enforcement crackdown.
Two blocks away, in front of a closed medical office, a curvy Spanish-speaking prostitute in a tube top cooed, “$100 my love. The service covers everything.” Yet across the street, a pair of men wearing head-to-toe black, red and white Chicago Bulls shirts and shorts — the trademark colors of the migrant gang that has made its way to the Big Apple — appeared to be keeping tabs on the women.
The women “don’t look like they’re being held against their will,” said Daughtry, who acknowledged the women were “being sexually exploited.”Taina Bien-Aime, who runs the Coalition Against Sex Trafficking in Women, said the Venezuelan gangsters “recruit very actively.” Her account was backed by a non-profit worker in a Queens shelter who didn’t want to be identified or quoted out of fear for her safety.
“I never saw it like this and I’m talking about over many year. You see kids walking through there. It’s terrible.”“When these girls come here, they’re promised restaurant jobs and this is one of the spots where they’re dropped off,” he said. “They call it the hub. These girls are mostly forced into this. It’s sad.”
