FLORIDA: Unfortunately, sounds like gay sex-slave prostitution is alive and well in Florida! A Hungarian man has been convicted in South Florida for his role in running what investigators called a gay sex-slave prostitution ring. Andras Janos Vass faces a minimum of 21 years and a maximum of 155 years in prison after a Miami jury convicted him in April 2015 of human trafficking and racketeering. Reported testimony from the trial revealed that Vass and others brought three victims to New York in 2012 and forced them to perform sex acts at all hours. The victims and their families in Hungary were threatened and the victims’ travel documents were confiscated. The ring relocated to the Miami area later in 2012. We learn further that two other Hungarians are awaiting trial in the matter.
