To be clear, Gomez intentionally used the threat of deportation from America in order to manipulate the woman who responded to her ad to sleep with the men in question.
This tactic of preying on people’s vulnerabilities and using manipulation is a move made by human traffickers all the time.
More information from the FBI
Brendan Kenney, the FBI Supervisory Senior Resident Agent, provided more details about the agency’s discovery.
It turns out Gomez remains linked to at least 1,600 ads over a ten-year timeframe. Furthermore, the FBI agent revealed “Ysenni Peguero,” “Carolina Peguero,” and “Chicas Express” as other names used by Gomez.
This woman also employed MegaPersonals.com, Facebook.com, and Bedpage.com to post her deceptive ads.
Due to the extensive timeframe of Gomez’s activity, the FBI says there are potentially hundreds of victims of this sex trafficking ring. Kenney specifically stated the agency welcomes any other victims to come forward, assuring they need not worry about facing deportation.
