If This Turns Out To Be Like Colin Powell’s Mobile Anthrax Lab Claim, I’ll Be Very Disappointed

Part Two of the Queens Courier’s series on sex slaves is out, this time suggesting the existence of “mobile brothels”:

According to lawmakers, social workers, teachers and counselors, gangs are running their lucrative pay-for-sex operations using children who are recruited from middle and high schools or smuggled into the country from around the world to serve in their brothels and as hookers on the streets of the borough.

The flesh-peddling gangs, including the vicious Mara Salvatrucha or MS13; the Latin Kings; the Russian mob; various Asian gangs, and Mexican gangs — including “Los Padrotes de Tenancingo,” — are using imaginative ways to hide their illegal sex-for-sale operations.

“The gangs are renting trucks and are using them as mobile brothels. The neighbors complain the gangs are taking these trucks near construction sites, where the girls are turning tricks inside them and the male gang members keep tabs on them and collect the money,” said Councilman Hiram Monserrate.

Readers of Gawker may be pleased to know that the photo illustration attached to this story is as good as the last one.
