Los Angeles pimps used “horrific” acts of cruelty to keep a vicelike grip on a sleazy stretch of south LA road where perverts can buy sex with children, and women turn tricks for as little as $40, cops and prosecutors said.
Vile flesh peddlers maintain a thriving sex business on LA’s Figueroa Corridor by branding prostitutes, recruiting girls from foster homes, forcing them to get abortions, and even biting and punching them with Rolex watches, authorities said.
The sickening sex trade secrets of the infamous Hoover Criminals gang’s brutal prostitution ring were revealed in a massive takedown of the Hoovers that saw the arrest of at least ten prostitution kingpins operating in the Figueroa Corridor, an area known to locals as “the Blade.”
“This is how they accomplish the sex trafficking in Figueroa,” explained LA’s top prosecutor Bill Essayli after Wednesday’s takedown, dubbed Operation Broken Blade.
“They do it first through coercion, and then through violence.”
“It’s horrific,” he added.
The Hoover Criminals, which originated in the late 1960s and early ’70s, are one of the largest and most powerful street gangs in Los Angeles.
After breaking away from the Crips, the gang flourished in the ’80s during the crack epidemic and expanded into several various criminal enterprises, including narcotics and prostitution.

What does this even mean...”and even biting and punching them with Rolex watches”.
You’ve got to give the NY Post credit here. They don’t shy away from stories like this one.
According to court papers, an alleged Hoover pimp named Cameron Lockett beat his victims and even “bit of a chunk” of one girl’s cheek so that she required stitches.
punching them with Rolex watches”.
who’s Congressional District?
Who’s the State Rep?
Who’s the City Mayor?
Those are the folks that are allowing this to take place.
I wonder what the Dem’s new gang of DSA Warriors think of it?
Or is somebody getting paid, and getting a voting bloc like they do in ChiRaq/ChiCongo??
So, they've been operating for decades - well known to the mayors (Bass and Garcetti) and the last DA, idiot George Gascon, no doubt.
Thank God for Bil Essayli and DA Nathan Hochman (who won against Gascon) for putting a stop to this. DA will charge them, no doubt....
But.... local lefty lawyers and judges will plead their cases down to misdemeanors with "time served." Back to business...
Karen Bass' constituency:
Area around Hoover St. is well know as a violent sh** hole.

I would expect once you’ve done “Headless Body Found In Topless Bar” not much is going to scare you off.
Seems Bass and her entire entourage including the local police are on the take from this operation.
It sounds like some people need their organs removed for others’ use.
Just a form of reparations let them do whatever they want...
Mayor Bass will be re-elected nevertheless.
It is dystopic.
Im shocked that these outstanding looking “pillars of the community” would be involve din such acts
No daddy, just a big fat momma.
WHO wouldn’t question that? I was ready to post WHAT but you saved me the trouble....
$40? Did they beat her with an ugly stick?
But they’re so diverse!
