Related: About this forumMedellin becoming major destination for foreign predators
written by Adriaan Alsema November 14, 2017
Hidden among foreign visitors to Medellin are an increasing number of pedophiles looking to exploit the citys child prostitution, according to a prominent local crime analyst.
Luis Fernando Quijano of the local Corporation for Peace and Social Development (CORPARES) said that this underground sex market is run by the citys crime syndicate, La Oficina, together with foreign operators.
The local and foreign pimps receive pedophiles from across the globe with sex packages with everything included. Drugs, children, adolescents, women, men or the complete package, with security and all that kind of stuff.
Quijano could not say how many foreign predators would be coming to Medellin for sex, but he has witnessed a significant increase.

At a squat, concrete brothel on the muddy banks of the Arauca River, Gabriel Sánchez rattled off the previous jobs of the women who now sell their bodies at his establishment for $25 an hour.
Weve got lots of teachers, some doctors, many professional women and one petroleum engineer, he yelled over the din of vallenato music. All of them showed up with their degrees in hand.
And all of them came from Venezuela.
