Overview

• Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday announced felony counts of trafficking in individuals and involuntary servitude against Ramiro Caal Jolomna following an investigation with state police.
• Authorities allege the girls were kept out of school, worked seven days a week with shifts up to 16 hours, and had wages taken while one was also forced to perform domestic chores.
• The victims were a 14-year-old from Mexico and a 17-year-old from Guatemala who was brought under a sponsorship, with threats of deportation used to coerce compliance, according to officials.
• Jolomna was arraigned and bail was set at $1 million, and officials indicated the investigation remains active with limited public court details available.
• Court records cited by the Philadelphia Inquirer list an additional count of concealing the death of a child, and records show Jolomna has been incarcerated since a separate 2024 child pornography arrest.
