Adrian Zitlalpopoca-Hernandez, 32, faces two counts each of sex trafficking by force, persuasion or coercion to travel to engage in prostitution, harboring aliens for prostitution and bringing illegal aliens into the United States for financial gain.
Eduardo Aguila-Tecuapacho, 25, and Carlos Tzompantzi-Serrano, 35, are each charged with one count of harboring aliens for purposes of prostitution and one count of harboring illegal aliens, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Tenorio.
