Guilty plea in Mexico-NYC human smuggling ring

A diminutive grandmother pleaded guilty to her role in a family-run prostitution ring that smuggled women from Mexico to New York who were sometimes violently coerced to perform sex acts.

Consuelo Carreto Valencia, who is from Mexico, pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court in Brooklyn, quickly bringing to a close a trial that had begun only a day earlier.

The 4-foot-10, 61-year-old woman had faced 12 counts of conspiracy, sex trafficking and smuggling.

Prosecutors said Carreto was the matriarch of a family operating a human smuggling operating out of the town of San Miguel de Tenancingo.

The Carretos, according to prosecutors, “engaged in a scheme to lure, entice, compel and coerce Mexican women and girls into prostitution” in Mexico and the United States.

The women and girls were smuggled across the border and brought to two apartments in Corona, Queens, where two of Carreto’s sons and another person forced the women — through violence, sexual assault, threats and other methods of coercion — to become prostitutes, prosecutors said.

The women were compelled to turn over their earnings — $25 to $35 for each sex act — to various brothel owners and to the Carretos, prosecutors said.
