Consuelo Carreto Valencia is 4 feet, 9 inches tall, yet towers over the world of Mexican sex trafficking. God. No. Not literally, ok? It’s not like the world of Mexican sex trafficking is entirely constructed of Legos. It’s a metaphor for the sake of making this story marketable, ok people? Gosh. Anyway. Back to the sex gnome:
Today, the first of several prostitutes who immigrated to New York City from Mexico in recent years to work in Corona brothels is scheduled to take the witness stand in Valencia’s trial. Prosecutors say Valencia is a Ma Barker character - unable to read or write in English or Spanish - who led a ruthless band of Mexican sex smugglers.
Ruthless band of Mexican sex smugglers! Yeehaw! Did they twirl their evil Mexican mustaches while shooting their pistolas in the air? God almighty:
Extradited last year from Mexico, Valencia is accused of supervising her sons, nephews and a daughter-in-law in a human trafficking organization that coerced young women from the town of San Miguel Tenancingo to work in condom-strewn brothels there and in Corona for several months.
With promises of love, marriage and a better life in the United States, the women were made to work as prostitutes and forced to turn over virtually all of their cash - earned from sex acts priced as low as $25 - to the ring, said prosecutors Monica Ryan and Grace Chung Becker in a pretrial memorandum. They said Valencia and her family reaped hundreds of thousands of dollars from the brothels, with some of the proceeds wired from New York.
“She has maintained from the beginning that she is innocent of the charges,” said Valencia’s lawyer, John Wallenstein of Garden City.
He said Valencia insists that the allegations stem from a vendetta she had with the mother of one of the prostitutes in Mexico.
If it is such a vendetta then, man, must it suck to be put on trial for a crime you didn’t commit. If not then we hope she’s sentenced to life in a tiny hovel that smells like old condoms and evil Mexican pistolero mustache wax.

LEGALIZE DRUGS AND PROSTITUTION!!! If our puritan government could keep religion out of our legal system then we could eliminate dangerous gangs and criminal organizations. Legalizing drugs would eliminate the drug cartels and criminals who distribute and control the industry. The government could regulate the quality and strength of the drugs and could even earn tax revenue like with cigarettes. Prostitution would work the same way, they would work under strict government laws and would also earn tax revenue. By allowing these into the free market, prices would drop and criminal organizations would cease to exist. This happened when prohibition was abolished, the bootleggers and mobsters lost most of their power and influence. The government needs to stop telling us how to run our lives, if we want to kill ourselves with drugs or pay for sex then so be it. By the way, cigarettes are legal drugs which have been proven to cause cancer and other diseases, why not make them illegal? See, by allowing cigarettes and alcohol the government contradicts its own reasoning for banning drugs and prostitution. They have legalized drugs and prostitution in Amsterdam and crime has fallen, disease caused by unsafe sex and unsafe drug practices has also dropped.
But why would the US government NOT want this....oh right it would make total sense, that's why.
