Guatemalan officials raided a compound Friday belonging to Lev Tahor, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish sect with past links to child exploitation. Prosecutors said they had removed at least 160 children and teenagers from the site who they believe were the victims of human trafficking and other offenses.

No arrests were made, officials told reporters at a news conference, but a regional prosecutor, Dimas Jiménez y Jiménez, said that authorities were considering charges.“ We suspect these crimes were committed by a member of the community,” Jiménez y Jiménez said. His colleague, the special prosecutor against human trafficking, Nancy Lorena Paiz García, added that officers also found bodies that had been buried on the premises. Authorities say that they have no information that the sect has used the local cemeteries, but have been made aware of possible deaths of minors that must be investigated.

Friday’s raid took place after four non-Guatemalan minors ran away from the community in November and alerted authorities.
