Women pleads not guilty to trafficking charges in Boston.

A woman from Boston, USA, has pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy, transporting minors across state lines to New York for prostitution, and child sex trafficking. It is alleged that Evelyn Diaz, 22, trafficked girls as young as 13 across state lines to New York City and Roxbury. It is alleged that she left a message on a social worker’s answer phone claiming that she could not be caught, saying; “When you have evidence that I am actually doing something, come and get me, OK ,” and later adding, “I am untouchable, I have lawyers.” It is also claimed that she said “Next time they’re going to be on a . . . Greyhound on their way to D.C. or New York or somewhere else,” “You won’t find them next time.”
Ms Diaz was arrested
soon afterward, and now faces federal charges.
FBI special agent Tamara Harty testified to the court that Diaz trafficked
two thirteen year olds, one fifteen year old and a sixteen year old into prostitution during the period July 2003 to April 2005. The case high-lights once again the trafficking of minors within the US.
