The Public Ministry and the National Civil Police of Guatemala rescued 160 minors, alleged victims of abuse in a community of the Orthodox Jewish sect Lev Tahor located in the village of El Amatillo, Santa Rosa.
During the operation carried out on Thursday, the Prosecutor's Office against Human Trafficking reported the discovery of the skeleton of a minor; in addition, 40 women from the community were also placed under protection.
The prosecutor's office reported that on November 11, it received a complaint in which a member of the sect was specifically named, accused of crimes of human trafficking in the form of forced pregnancy, mistreatment of minors and rape of minors.
The Public Prosecutor's Office detailed on its account on the social network X that during the raids they also found foreign and national passports, a digital video recorder, computers and other evidence.
The MP also clarified that these are not actions against a religious community: “It is essential to understand that this operation is being carried out in response to a series of complaints and is directed against individuals accused of committing serious crimes of human trafficking.”
