As the population of illegal immigrants and  refugees increases so too it seems does the problems they bring with them.  Human trafficking and sexual assault seem to be some of the largest issues that are currently being dealt with.  

Pasqual Mendez – age 23 –  is thought to be in the country illegally by way of Guatemala. He has been arrested and is being held at a jail in Morgantown, North Carolina on a $1 million secured bond for keeping a 14-yr-old girl as a slave within the state of North Carolina.

According to what was revealed by both the victim and in the interrogation of Mendez, the girl was purchased by Mendez in Guatemala approximately seven months ago for the purpose of cleaning, cooking, and performing sexual acts for him.

Mendez has been charged with felony human trafficking of a child, assault on a female, interfering with emergency communication and statutory rape of a child less than 15 years of age. He has also been additionally charged under $5,000 secured bond on charges of transporting a child out of state in violation of a custody order.

The victim is a legal resident of the United States who was in Guatemala at the time of purchase.  Mendez paid a family member of the victim to bring her from Guatemala and for her purchase. She is now in the custody of Burke County Department of Social Services.

Sergent Tim Corriveau of the MDPS states that cases like this are becoming quite common, and the girl is very lucky to have escaped.  “Human trafficking happens every day,” he said. “We’re just fortunate that this time, we were able to help out this little girl.”

The investigation is ongoing. No one else has been charged in this case at this time.
