According to police, one of the victims asked employees at a night club for help because she said she was being forced to prostitute herself. Police said she pointed out Garcia, who was in a nearby white Lexus, as the trafficker.

Detectives interviewed both women at a police station and said they told them that Garcia made them walk Northeast 11th Street in Miami to solicit customers for sex. Police said Garcia instructed them to charge $25 for oral sex and $75 for intercourse.

The women also said Garcia made them strip and engage in prostitution at the Diamond Dolls strip club and Booby Trap.

The women told detectives that Garcia established a quota for them each day and took their money at the end of the workday.

Police said Garcia threatened to hurt them if they did not comply.

Garcia remains at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
