In reply to the discussion: Christie Crime Digest-Vol. I [View all]Laxman
(2,419 posts)136. Just In Case There Is Any Misunderstanding....
Christie was pretty unethical before he became governor. An interesting story from the Daily Beast.....Chritie & The Sex Slave Ring (what a great title!)
Did Christie Go Easy on a Human Trafficker Just to Bust a Small-Time Pol?
Chris Christie built his reputation as a crime-fighter. So why did he cut a deal with an accused sex slave ringleaderand send to jail a Democratic mayor, instead?
Beginning in 2003, members of a smuggling ring in Honduras approached girls, some just 14 years of age, and talked them into illegally entering the United States with the promise of waitressing jobs.
After making it over the border, during which time the smugglers allegedly raped some of the girls, they landed in Houston, Texas. They were temporarily held there before making the rest of their journey north to Hudson County, New Jersey.
Thats when the girls learned the truth. They were never going to be waitresses.
