Two illegal aliens from South America have been arrested for allegedly sex trafficking a missing 15-year-old girl found at a Motel 6 in Palm Beach County, Florida.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office has arrested 33-year-old Colombian illegal alien Yenire Karolina Pacheco Leiton and 27-year-old Venezuelan illegal alien Enyerbert Alberto Blanco Blanco. The arrests came after a 15-year-old girl missing from New York since September 12 was found in a Motel 6 after being sex trafficked to at least 13 different men.

Leiton has been charged with 10 counts of human trafficking of a minor and one count of interference with custody, while Blanco was charged with one count of interference with custody and one count of resisting arrest without violence.
According to Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, explicit photos of the underage girl were found posted as part of an advertisement on a well-known site for commercial prostitutes that often include victims of sex trafficking.
Law enforcement discovered the missing teen at a Motel 6 in West Palm Beach on October 8, where she informed officers that Leiton had coordinated sexual encounters for her with 13 different men between the ages of 18 to 50 years old. She also told officers that she was forced to give half of her earnings to Leiton while also paying half of the fee for the hotel room. Men reportedly paid between $120-$250 for sexual encounters with the 15-year-old.
During a press conference about the arrests, Bradshaw confirmed that Blanco had been previously deported and was also arrested for attempted murder in New York, as well as for drug-related charges in Miami, Florida. He also expressed shock that judges would allow Blanco to be released on bond for these charges.
“How can he be out on bond for an attempted murder out of New York? He gets arrested in Miami for drug trafficking and he’s out walking around. That’s unconscionable,” the Palm Beach County Sheriff said. “But I can tell you one thing folks — that female and this guy here that was involved in this, their butts are staying in my jail. They’re not coming out.”
