Woodstock, Georgia, United States
The owner of La Cabana restaurant smuggled women and girls from Central and South America into the US and engaged them in prostitution to repay their smuggling debts, according to documents filed in federal magistrate court in Atlanta. The victims, some as young as 15, allegedly performed sex acts for money in a "sex room" at the restaurant and at the owner's home on Jamie Way in Woodstock. The business operates as a restaurant during the day, but after 10pm it transitions into a "Gentlemen's Club,"
