ANAHEIM, CA – In mid-October of 2016, a parent contacted the Costa Mesa Police Department reporting concerns about his 17 year old daughter, who was a runaway, possibly being a victim of human trafficking. The Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force (OCHTTF) began an investigation, which revealed the juvenile was in fact a human trafficking victim.
Following several days of round the clock investigation the juvenile was found in the company of Gilberto Antonio Castillo in Mission Viejo on October 18, 2016. The juvenile victim was rescued and Castillo, a 38 year old resident of Mission Viejo, was arrested for human trafficking of a minor.

Investigators discovered Castillo was involved with an online escort agency which recruited the juvenile victim to the agency when she answered an internet advertisement seeking young models. On October 26, 2016, the ongoing investigation led to the arrest of Yolymar Ojeda-Gomez in Irvine. Ojeda-Gomez, a 22 year old Irvine resident, was arrested for human trafficking of a minor.
Both Castillo and Ojeda-Gomez were booked at the Orange County Jail. Castillo remains in custody without bail while Ojeda-Gomez was released on bond. The OCHTTF is requesting anyone with information regarding Castillo, Ojeda-Gomez, or the “Angelic Secrets” online escort agency to contact Sgt. Juan Reveles at (714) 765-7974.
