In Houston, a city where the sex trade is booming, was an organization ruled by one madam, Hortencia Medelles-Arguella. “Tencha” was the mastermind of the biggest sex ring to be busted in Texas. She built her empire on the tears of girls that were smuggled into the United States hoping for a better life. Tencha forced underage girls to work in deplorable conditions and capitalized on their earnings, keeping the wealth for herself.
