A San Jose man and woman were charged with a lengthy list of felonies Wednesday in connection with forcing a 15-year-old and three other victims into prostitution.

Ariel Guizar, 35, and Araceli Mendoza Alvarez, 23, his highest-ranking prostitute, are each charged with felony human trafficking of a minor; one felony count of pimping a minor; one felony count of pandering with a minor under 16 years old by promise, threat or violence to become a prostitute; one felony count of using, inducing or furnishing a controlled substance to a minor; one felony count of pandering as an inmate in a house of prostitution; and two felony counts of pimping, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office said.

In addition, Guizar faces felony forcible rape, one felony count of sodomy of a person under the age of 16, one felony count of possession of a firearm by a felon, one misdemeanor count of child endangerment by a caretaker, and a sentencing enhancement allegation for the personal use of a firearm during the commission of a rape.

Between Feb. 8 through the weekend, Guizar raped a 15-year-old girl, forced her to commit prostitution in hotel rooms in Orange County and gave her methamphetamine, the DA said.

He is also accused of being a caretaker of a 4-month-old baby and endangering the infant by using methamphetamine in the same hotel room.

The 15-year-old girl, who was reported as a runaway by her family, was found Feb. 11 in Bellflower after a three-day search. She told investigators that she and the other victims were threatened with a gun.

Investigators arrested Guizar and Alvarez Feb. 11.

Guizar has two prior felonies for possession of a firearm by a felon and a 2009 conviction for obstructing or resisting a peace officer in Santa Clara County.

Guizar faces 45 years and Alvarez faces 19 years in prison. If convicted, they would both be required to register as a sex offender for life.

They are being held in Orange County jail.
