Overview

• Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday announced felony counts of trafficking in persons, involuntary servitude, and related offenses against Ramiro Caal Jolomna.
• Investigators say the girls, ages 14 and 17, were kept out of school and worked seven days a week, with the younger teen forced into 16-hour shifts and domestic chores.
• Prosecutors allege Jolomna diverted the teens’ earnings by having the 14-year-old sign over paychecks to him and his wife and by taking most of the older teen’s wages.
• Jolomna was arraigned with bail set at $1 million following a joint investigation by the Pennsylvania State Police and the Attorney General’s human trafficking unit.
• Court records reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer list an additional charge of concealing the death of a child in the trafficking case, and show he has been jailed since a September 2024 arrest on child pornography charges.
