In April 2009, Maximino Mondragon, 57, was sentenced to thirteen years for being the leader of a human trafficking ring.
He used the typical tactics to attrack women to working for him in the United States. Promising jobs that did not even exist brought many victims from Central America.
In addition to the 13 years, he must pay $1.7 million to the victims for their unjust expierience.
Mondragon was one of eight leaders that were sentenced.
Some things to think about:
Is the punishment harsh or not severe enough?
The lives of over 100 people are changed forever: what else could have been done for the victims and their families?
Mondragon was the last leader to be sentenced in this ring. Is American doing their job to bring justice to this horrible situation?
