JACKSON -- Authorities released information Wednesday about a man they say is a fifth suspect in an alleged child prostitution and alien-labor ring that police here uncovered earlier this month.

Armando Salas, 26-27, is wanted in connection with 13 felony charges stemming from an alleged criminal racket that between March 2004 and September 2006 purportedly sexually enslaved at least two underage Mexican girls to pay off a “debt” for bringing them into the United States.

The ring also smuggled at least 12 illegal-alien laborers from Mexico, charging documents and police say.
