The National Police has arrested a man who sexually exploited women and transsexual women who crowded into a flat in Valladolid and subdued them after tricking them because of their vulnerable situation. They hardly left the home to make occasional purchases and were watched by cameras. The 53-year-old man had been running a house where prostitution was practiced since 2014, located in the Girón neighborhood. There they were forced to live together in the living room while the rooms were dedicated solely to the punters.
The individual who exploited them, who had no job apart from this illegal action, lived in the same place and controlled them so that they were available all day. His earnings amounted to about 4,000 euros a month, half of the total, since he kept half of the income of his victims. At the time of the agents’ entry into the house, five women were in it, who were released at that time. Sources of the investigation affirm that depending on the time there could be more or less prostitutes living on the site.
The method to force them to have sexual relations consisted of what the Police have defined as “non-coercive pimping”, which does not imply violence but provokes “a feeling of exploitation or submission”. The pimp’s strategy to find and dominate his victims consisted of locating “people in a situation of vulnerability and need, foreigners in an irregular administrative situation, with family responsibilities in their country of origin or in economic difficulties, in situations close to poverty ” , the agents have explained.
With this context, he made sure to have them under control, which he complemented by connecting the video surveillance circuit that he had installed in the house to his mobile phone. The rooms remained closed except for when a client came to sleep with the women, who spent their days “without the right to privacy,” according to the Police. The pimp has been released with charges after passing to the disposal of the Investigating Court 4 of Valladolid as a result of an operation carried out by members of the National Police in the city.
