Why we need an El Salvador style gang prison

Inside LA’s most vile gang accused of branding women and kidnapping 14-year-old girls for sex


Los Angeles pimps used “horrific” acts of cruelty to keep a vicelike grip on a sleazy stretch of south LA road where perverts can buy sex with children, and women turn tricks for as little as $40, cops and prosecutors said.

Vile flesh peddlers maintain a thriving sex business on LA’s Figueroa Corridor by branding prostitutes, recruiting girls from foster homes, forcing them to get abortions, and even biting and punching them with Rolex watches, authorities said.

The sickening sex trade secrets of the infamous Hoover Criminals gang’s brutal prostitution ring were revealed in a massive takedown of the Hoovers that saw the arrest of at least ten prostitution kingpins operating in the Figueroa Corridor, an area known to locals as “the Blade.”

“This is how they accomplish the sex trafficking in Figueroa,” explained LA’s top prosecutor Bill Essayli after Wednesday’s takedown, dubbed Operation Broken Blade
