I was working on other posts this morning in the vain hope that I could get some other things posted unrelated to Somalis, but when I got this link (thanks to reader Lynn) just now with photos and names of the Somali perps I figured I better post it right away. See our original post when the story first broke here.
From TwinCities.com. Perhaps the most disgusting aspect of the story is that three Muslim women were involved in the recruitment of the girls as “sex slaves” to “service” men. What happened to that oft-repeated canard that Muslims revere women?
When a 15-year-old girl had a disagreement with her mother, a woman just three years older offered to care for her.
The woman, a gang member, would give her a place to stay and food. But there was a catch.
The 15-year-old had to have sex for money or other items of value, according to a federal indictment unsealed Monday.
The teen, referred to as Jane Doe Three in the indictment, was one of the underage girls allegedly trafficked by three Somali gangs between the Twin Cities; Columbus, Ohio; and Nashville, Tenn. Twenty-nine people, including three women, were charged.
It’s not unusual for older females to recruit, lure or “groom” younger females into commercial sex exploitation, said Heather Caillier, marketing and development manager of the St. Paul-based nonprofit Breaking Free.
“This happens in mainstream culture but also worldwide,” Caillier said. “Girls who have been victimized turn to recruitment to put themselves in a better position (with the pimps) as well as do less of the servicing.”

Three gangs are based in Minneapolis and connected with each other — the Somali Outlaws, Somali Mafia and Lady Outlaws.
One intention of the gangs “is to identify, recruit and obtain females who are under the age of 14 years and under the age of 18 years, to participate in commercial sex acts in exchange for money and other items,” the indictment said. They “use … abuse, threats, force and coercion.
Be sure to check out the photos—most of those arrested sure look like Somalis to me! Our ever-present Allahsoldier tried to tell us the other day that they weren’t Somalis.
Then speaking of the ever-present, at the end of the article we see mention that Omar Jamal dashed back out to Minnesota from his perch at the United Nations to spin the story that ‘gosh what a surprise this was to the Somali “community.”‘ That is funny because I saw one news account where he said the “community” knew it was happening and was in open denial. Read more about the Somali Jesse Jackson, here, yesterday.
Omar Jamal, first secretary to Somalia’s ambassador to the United Nations, was in the Minneapolis court Monday and said he had talked to relatives of four of the people charged. They “were completely in disbelief,” he said. “That doesn’t mean nothing happened, but … engaging in sex trafficking with a minor is a new trend, a new kind of crime they hadn’t been aware of.”
Next we can expect CAIR on the scene to tell the world it was all a big set-up to “get” Muslims.
