Florida police arrest 6 people accused of sexually exploiting teen boys
Six people were arrested in an eight-month long, statewide human trafficking investigation involving teenage victims who were sexually exploited.
The investigation started in May 2018 when a Louisiana law enforcement agency contacted the St. Petersburg Police Department with information that a missing 17-year-old boy from Louisiana was at a mobile home at 4000 24th St. North, Lot 12, Silver Lake Mobile Home Park in St. Petersburg.
Investigators believe the victim was lured through Discord, an online gaming app that allows users to communicated directly with each other. They used it to coordinate picking the teen up and driving him to St. Pete.
When officers arrived at the mobile home park, they found the missing teen and discovered another 16-year-old boy living in the same trailer along with four adults: Mark Earl Dennis, Andrew Barry Dennis, Curtis Lee Gruwell and Michael Wayne Schwartz.
"The teenage victim in this case was lured from his family with promises of a better life, instead he was moved into a filthy trailer and used as a sex slave for nearly a year," said Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody.
The trailer was described as being filthy and filled with animal feces.
According to St. Pete Police, for a whole year, that 16-year-old was introduced to sadomasochism and used as a sex slave by Mark and Andrew Dennis, Gruwell, Schwartz and their associates Michael Ray Biasdel and JR Gauthier. He did not attend school or receive medical care in that time.
After police made contact in May of 2018, Mark and Andrew Dennis, Gruwell and Schwartz moved from St. Pete to Lehigh Acres in Lee County.
