A man forced migrants from Guatemala to work on farms in New York and raped a 16-year-old Guatemalan migrant, whom he’s accused of abducting twice, federal prosecutors said.
Augusto Mateo Francisco, 32, of Dunkirk, is facing forced labor, sex trafficking and kidnapping charges, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of New York announced in a Dec. 15 news release.
John Joseph Morrissey, Francisco’s appointed federal public defender, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from McClatchy News on Dec. 18.
