Two guilty of trafficking young girls for sex
By O’Ryan JohnsonSaturday, November 7, 2009
Two men accused of running a brutal teen sex racket - where the pimps marked one girl in their stable with a facial scar, and traded other girls like baseball cards - were convicted yesterday of human trafficking in federal court in Boston, officials said.
Darryl Tavares, 26, of Revere and Eddie Jones, 26, of Dorchester, after a 10-day trial, were each convicted of conspiracy to traffic women in interstate commerce for the purpose of prostitution, and transporting minors in interstate commerce for the purpose of prostitution. They each face up to 20 years in prison, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Boston.
The case broke in 2005 when one of the girls, who was 16 at the time she was being pimped, told investigators that Tavares and Jones ran girls between states as part of their business, prosecutors said. The Boston office of the FBI as well as the Boston Police Department investigated the case and eventually arrested six people, including Tavares and Jones. Four pleaded guilty.
