A Lee County man is now in custody after allegedly prostituting his underage wife to area brothels. Detectives looked into the case after the underage victim gave birth to her second child at Health Park Hospital in Ft. Myers. The victim told deputies that she had been smuggled into the United States from Mexico to work in a Homestead nursery. The three managers at the nursery that helped bring her into the country forced her to engage in sex in return.
The victim's husband and defendant in the case, 23-year old Juan Gomez Domingo, also worked with the victim in the Homestead nursery, married her with permission from her mother. The couple moved to Bonita Springs. Their roommate befriended one of the victim's former managers from Homestead and began to orchestrate forced sex between the victim and manager in exchange for money. When the victim became pregnant, the roommate took off.
Domingo started forcing his underage wife to attend local brothels to help with paying the rent. Domingo also committed Ft. Myers domestic violence against the victim physically, emotionally and then threatened to kick her and their children out of his home if she did not comply. Officers charged Domingo with Ft. Myers human trafficking and he is awaiting trial inside the Lee County Jail on one million dollars bond.
