A Queens man has pleaded guilty to sex trafficking women and promoting prostitution on Long Island<\/a>, authorities announced Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Jorge Ramos, 55, pleaded guilty to three charges<\/a> during a hearing Monday in Mineola, the Nassau County District Attorney\u2019s office said in a press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cSex trafficking can happen anywhere and to anyone, even in popular chain hotels in Nassau County neighborhoods,\u201d District Attorney Anne Donnelly<\/a> said. \u201cJorge Ramos exploited these victims and threatened one of the women into compliance to keep her working for him in a life of prostitution.\u201d<\/p>\n

The criminal case focused on three victims, one of whom was trafficked by Ramos in November 2023 at his home in Astoria and at a Marriott in Uniondale<\/a>, police said.<\/p>\n

At the hotel, Ramos threatened to expose an explicit video of the woman<\/a> if she did not continue having sex for money, cops said.<\/p>\n

When officers arrived to arrest Ramos at the Hyatt Place hotel in Garden City<\/a> in February 2025, he was trafficking two more women for prostitution, according to investigators.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to extensive surveillance and undercover work by our law enforcement partners, this predator was arrested and brought to justice for what he did to these women,\u201d Donnelly said.<\/p>\n

Ramos\u2019 sentencing hearing is scheduled for Dec. 11, and he is expected to receive between one and three years behind bars, according to the prosecutor\u2019s office. He will be forced to register as a sex offender upon his release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Queens man has pleaded guilty to sex trafficking women and promoting prostitution on Long Island, authorities announced…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12495,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[4166,14391,9,24,63,122,124,123,7485],"class_list":["post-21534","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-anne-donnelly","tag-jorge-ramos","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news","tag-sex-trafficking"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21534","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21534"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21534\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21534"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21534"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21534"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
