A convicted sex trafficker who considering pimping a “family business” and forced women to have sex with dozens of men a day was given 25 years in prison Thursday during a dramatic sentencing hearing at Brooklyn federal court. Francisco Melendez-Perez, 27, and five of his family members ran a Mexican sex trafficking ring for at least a decade where they’d convince women and young girls to come with them to the United States for a better life and then force them into prostitution. The defendants were convicted in March of 2020 but due to COVID-19 related delays, they weren’t sentenced until this week.
