Sex trafficking: It can happen here

Many people wouldn't think that human trafficking for sexual exploitation or slavery-like labor happens in Connecticut, but Leonela Cruz-Ahuatl, of the International Institute of Connecticut, gave a possible scenario Friday: A skilled masseuse from Russia hears about a job at a massage parlor in Bridgeport; the woman is forced to have sex, is threatened with death if she leaves - and has no access to her money. The woman is a victim of human trafficking for several reasons, said Cruz-Ahuatl: She was deceived into doing a different job than she was promised, she is being threatened with violence, and she is being deprived of her livelihood.
