Prostitution Ring and Appalling Conditions

appalling conditions: They were supported, controlled and exploited by a prostitution ring that operated across Canada, Constable Gasse said, according to Globe and Mail. The victims were exploited for several weeks in one place and then transported across the country to continue the same line of work, still in appalling conditions. Constable Gasse told reporters the women were aware they were coming to Canada to work in prostitution, but were told it would be under decent working conditions. The RCMP hasn’t been able to pinpoint an exact number of victims, but said there could be as many as 500. After a few weeks or months, the girls were returned to their country of origin, Constable Gasse told a news conference at Saint-Hubert Airport, just south of Montreal. The contents of computers and cellphones confiscated during 16 police seizures may shed light on a list of clients. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
