British cops witness increase in sex-slave trade and human trafficking

Organized crime enterprises in the United Kingdom are raking in millions of dollars in profits from trafficked women in a growing illegal sex-slave trade, according to British cops.

Vocal politicians in the UK have all but condemned their own government for not doing enough to crackdown on these slave-trading gangs and point to a failure of the government to protect the thousands of women enslaved. Police say that some are teenagers as young as 15, duped into coming to England with promises of employment as maids, nannies or waitresses only find themselves forced into a life of sex, brutality, even torture

UK police officials claim British cities are filled with trafficked women who are forced to work in brothels and on the streets of London and other cities. For instance, the SoHo section of London is a known area for prostitution.

According to law enforcement officials, violent gang wars are breaking out between rival criminal organizations due to a saturation of sex slaves in the illegal marketplace. According to police officials, the gangsters even use Internet web sites to advertise the availability of women, many of whom were tricked into sex-slave trade.

Members of the British Parliament who serve on the Human Rights Committee claim that UK authorities have failed to combat what they call "an evil trade in human misery" by not allowing victims rescued from the sex-slave gangs the right to remain in Britain long enough to recover from physical and mental trauma as a result of gang brutality and the humiliation of these women experienced.

Senior members of the British government including police believe there should be more done to help these newly freed sex-slaves. They point to a similar program operating in the United States that shows no evidence of immigration abuse by the victimized women.

In the US, it's estimated that between 80,000 and 120,000 foreign women are being sexually exploited by gangs of sex-slave traffickers. Some of the crime gangs operating in states such as New York and New Jersey are Koreans and Mexicans. The gangs in the UK are said to be Asians, Arabs and other Middle Easterners.

Unfortunately, the Secretary of the Home Office has no accurate figures on the number of sex-trafficked women. The UK police commanders estimate that upwards of 10,000 illegal aliens are working as prostitutes in Britain and more than three-quarters of the women in brothels are from either the Baltics, Africa or Southeast Asia. As happens in the US, police raid massage parlors that are actually brothels across the country. Reportedly, in one raid officers found 19 foreign women in a Birmingham parlor who've been trafficked from foreign countries with fraudulent documents.
