San Diego Adult Entertainment: Teen group takes aim at human trafficking

Marisa Ugarte, executive director of the San Diego-based Bilateral Safety Corridor Coalition, which strives to prevent human trafficking, said victims come from China, Korea, Ukraine, Indonesia, Mexico and Sudan. Some are promised good jobs in the United States, and some are kidnapped and told that if they try to escape, either they or their families will be killed.
“You don’t need to chain them up,” Ugarte said.
In June, a prostitution ring at several Vista massage businesses was broken up. Twenty-two women, all Chinese nationals, were arrested. Some were living in squalid conditions in the rear of the businesses.
The problem of prostitution at migrant camps in Vista, Oceanside and Bonsall is widely known, as is the fact that many young girls are victimized and are being forced to work against their will.
