One snippet leapt out....
// Police, too, were found wanting, with officers often choosing to arrest trafficking victims instead of protecting them. One deputy chief constable recalled the case of a girl who had managed to escape from a brothel and flee to a police station where she described how she had been trafficked. "She had no passport. Under these confusing circumstances, we chose to arrest her for being an illegal immigrant," he said. //

All part of the problems of our lax immigration policy of the last few decades, and our continued membership of the EU.
Leave th "doors" open and you will get all sorts coming here, including criminals, murderers, "sex slaves" and so on.

Yes, easy meat Gromit.
Far easier to arrest a young girl scared out of her wits “because she had no passport” than to find out what the more serious problem was. I imagine the circumstances were very confusing: young girl, possibly bedragled, confused or maybe injured, escapes her captors, runs to police station for help and sanctuary, explains her plight. All very confusing. True, we don't know all the facts, but I can imagine.

When children leave home they are sometimes destitute and will do anything to get a roof over their head and so the exploitation. I suppose the same could be said about young immigrants who think the UK can offer a better life.
However it does not just apply to young girls. Only recently a gang was jailed for treating adult males as slaves which went on for many years until one had the sense to break away and tell the authorities.
