Two alleged gang members forced single mother into ‘sexual slavery,’ prosecutors say
Two alleged members of the Brooklyn-based “Insane Crip Gangsters” gang were arrested and charged on Friday in federal court on sex trafficking charges.
Prosecutors say the duo drugged a woman, a single mother, and deprived her of food and sleep in order to force her into prostitution. They also claim that the duo tattooed the victim with their names and promoted their prostitution business on social media.
Gladimir Thomas, a 31-year-old also known as Sleep, Sleep Boss and Daddy, and Ronald Thomas, a 27-year-old known as Roco, Roco Da Boss and Daddy, were arraigned in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District in front of Magistrate Judge Steven Tiscione.
