Man ran prostitution ring out of parents' basement, prosecutors say
NEW YORK — A Long Island man ran a prostitution ring out of his parents' sprawling suburban home, enticing women with drugs and locking them in the basement where they were forced to use a bucket instead of a bathroom, prosecutors said Thursday.
"This is a dangerous and depraved individual," Sini told reporters after Rodio's arraignment."He kept women locked up in the basement of his parents' house. He used the basement of his parents' home as a dungeon." Rodio pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking, promoting prostitution and other charges. He remains jailed because he hasn't posted $1 million cash bail or $2 million bond.Police uncovered the alleged prostitution ring after a routine traffic stop last August. Officers recognized that a passenger in the car appeared to be a victim of human trafficking, Sini said.
