2019: Reynaldo Marquez Crespo, 41, and Jancer Sergio Ramos Valdes, 33, who federal authorities say are associated with the El Jabao Organization, allegedly use go-fast boats to smuggle Cubans migrants across the Yucatan straits. Those migrants were secreted into hideouts on the Yucatan Peninsula and then beaten and tortured, prosecutors say. Victims heard traffickers boasting of raping female migrants and selling them into sexual slavery. The families of the migrants — many who live in South Florida — were forced to pay up to $10,000 dollars a head lest their kin be starved, electrocuted or beaten, according to a federal criminal affidavit.
