Human trafficking - Exploitation of the very worst kind

ANYONE who read this morning’s deeply disturbing report about how a naive, young Lithuanian woman was targeted by compatriots who planned to sell her as a sex slave will recognise that the very darkest forces were at work on this island.

Befriended by fellow nationals the lonely and isolated woman, who was trying to build a life in a foreign country, fell in to the hands of three men who abused and raped her repeatedly to “prepare her body for the rigours of prostitution”.

They set about turning a woman into a dehumanised commodity to be traded as a disposable entertainment.
