Miami-Dade Man Arrested on Allegations of Forcing Wife Into Prostitution, Molesting Teen Daughter

A Miami-Dade man is behind bars after disturbing charges including allegedly beating his wife and forcing her into prostitution – while also allegedly molesting their teen daughter.

Luis Alicea was taken into custody Tuesday night and faces a variety of charges, including human trafficking, domestic violence and lewd and lascivious molestation of a child under the age of 12. He is being held on no bond in the Miami-Dade Jail.

According to an arrest report, the 40-year-old Alicea forced his wife to work at an area strip club for 12 to 16 hours a day to meet his “quota” of earning between $600 and $800 a day. When she did not provide that money to him, his wife said Alicea would force her into prostitution – punching her in the stomach so that no one would see the bruises.

The wife told police Alicea would threaten to take their daughter if she tried to leave him, allegedly holding a knife to her throat at one point and saying “you will always be mine”.

The couple’s 15-year-old daughter also spoke with police, telling them that Alicea had put his hand down her pants and fondled her when she was between nine and 11 years of age. She also told investigators she had never been to school and hadn’t seen a doctor since she was a baby.

Alicea denied all the criminal charges from both his alleged victims, but did admit that his daughter had not been to school since kindergarten due to the family living in different motels during her life.
