A total of 15 women have been saved from a human trafficking ring, which authorities say was run out of homes in Trenton and Camden.

The bust follows a yearlong operation by the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General into what authorities term a case of “modern-day slavery.”

Four of the brothels where the women were kept include homes along Elmer Street, Genesee Street, Ashmore Avenue and Roebling Avenue in Trenton.

Investigators say a total of eight people were arrested, but two women ran the operation.

The women have been identified as Vilma De-Leon Bracamonte and Maria Soledad Xec Cham.

The state Attorney General’s Office says those two suspects lured victims between the ages of 21 and 58 by promising jobs in restaurants or cleaning homes.

Instead, those victims were allegedly forced into prostitution and never allowed to leave the homes.

State Attorney General Matthew Platkin says the accused advertised by handing out cards for a phony plumbing company and barbershop.

“But the number listed was connected to a messaging application, where instead of plumbing services or barbershop services, the callers would receive detailed information about available women, their location, ages and even their countries of origin. Think about that for a moment. We’re talking about human beings being treated as property,” said Platkin.

There are six others charged who allegedly helped run the day-to-day operation of the houses.

“These individuals allegedly lived in the houses, provided the supplies necessary to keep them running and took money from clients. They would also allegedly not let victims leave,” said Theresa Hilton, director of the Division of Criminal Justice.

In some of those cases, the women were told that if they tried to leave, their families would be harmed.
