A Nashville resident with a history of drug-related convictions has been charged with two counts of commercial sex trafficking. Francisco Pascual Angulo, 37, was arrested at his residence on Acklen Avenue. Authorities allege that he lured two women from Florida and Texas to Nashville under false pretenses, promising them a luxurious lifestyle and employment, only to force them into prostitution.
Special Victims Division detectives, during a search of Angulo’s home, seized $118,000 in cash, a 2024 Corvette, a Tesla sedan, jewelry, and high-end bags and purses. The investigation began when the women managed to leave Angulo’s home, check into a local motel, and contact the police. They reported that Angulo had provided them with a price list for sex deals he arranged at various locations.
