Spanish newspaper El Mundo provides details of child prostitution in Castro's Cuba
May 11, 2010
Looks like a gentle grandmother. She is around 50 and dresses like a nun in the convent, with loose and inconspicuous clothing. Her name is Ileana and she is an admitted lesbian.
Her business is prostitution. She always carries a black leather folder, and is looking for partying foreigners or Cubans with money that have had too much to drink and which she believes are looking for a hot night. She approaches them politely to offer her services.
From the black leather folderer, slowly, looking at both sides and taking care of people near her, she pulls an album of glossy photos, that no doubt wasprepared by a professional photographer, with dozens of boys and girls, depending on the sexual preferences, appear short of clothes and in provocative poses.
In her catalog, the grandmother-madame has everything. Blondes, brunettes, mulatto and black. "They are very young, my son, but if you are looking for some 12 or 13 years old, you will have to pay more," says Ileana in a maternal soft voice.
The madame starts providing prices in a soft voice. "One night 20 convertible pesos, two lesbians, twenty per head. What I have here is first clas. These are shy girls, who are not full-time protitutes, some are students," she explains while detailing the quality of her "merchandise."
Clients are taken to discreet brothels where they are offered expensive drinks and hors d'oeuvres. The chosen girl is already there waiting. After having a strong rum drink or a couple of beers with her, they go to an air-conditioned room that has TV and music.
