Of the roughly 16 victims that were trafficked, seven were underage, Bronx prosecutors said.
Three accused pimps and three now-former Bronx hotel employees teamed up to run an underage prostitution ring that included forcing one 16-year-old girl into 100 “dates” in a year, prosecutors alleged Thursday.
Of the roughly 16 victims who were trafficked, seven were underage. One 16-year-old was forced into sex work about 100 times in one year, according to the DA’s office. The hotel workers — manager Robert Olaguibel, 45, front desk clerk Golam Rabbani, 27, and security guard Patrick Walker, 51, — helped facilitate the prostitution, prosecutors said. Some members of the prostitution ring allegedly tipped off other associates if law enforcement was snooping around the hotel.
