Authorities assert that Calero coordinated the prostitution of two minor victims — both of whom were rescued by police during the arrests — for Flores at the hotel.

“Initial fact-finding by detectives on scene confirmed the commercial sex trafficking of two minor victims,” the Palm Beach County Police Department said in a press release. “The two minor victims along with the two suspects were transported to a local substation for interviews.”

The commercial sex trafficking operation was initially discovered by a hotel clerk who entered the room and found the two victims sitting on a bed with Flores. The clerk also noticed a condom in the room, authorities say.

[Good for the clerk. Let’s hope that more people become aware of the signs of trafficking and take action — and that media outlets stop trying to downplay it for political considerations. — Ed]
