Six defendants, including Cesar Navarrete, Geovanni Navarrete, Villhina Navarrete, and Ismael Navarrete, were engaged in a scheme to enslave Mexican, and Guatemalan nationals and compel their labor as farmworkers in Florida.  The defendants paid the workers minimal wages and drove them into debt.  Additionally, some of the defendants threatened the workers with physical harm if the workers left their employment before their debts had been repaid to the Navarrete’s.   There were also reports of beatings by the defendants, as well as other threats, including restraining and locking workers in trucks to force them to work
