The problem is endemic here with girls from Eastern Europe who reply to adverts in their own country for a New Life as a Waitress/Actress/whatever in the UK. When they arrive here they are raped, brutalised and locked up in brothels where they are forced into sex-slavery.

Still, it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good, if you will excuse the horrible pun, in that sex is about the only thing in the UK that has gone down in price as a result. :mad:

Fortunately, it is something that is beginning to be taken more and more seriously in the UK, where the traffickers are targetted and the girls treated as victims of crime rather than criminals.
