A 31-year-old woman was sentenced in absentia to seven years in jail for sexually exploiting two girls from her native village who were her childhood friend. She convinced the girls who were in a difficult financial situation to leave for Moscow to earn more money. One of the victims tried to kill herself after she was forced to prostitute herself. The procurer is wanted, IPN reports.
The Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime and Special Cases said one of the victims lived with her concubine and looked after her sick parents and the day worked she did wasn’t enough to cover their costs. The other victim lived with her uncle and grandmother and had to maintain two children aged two and four.
They were recruited in 2015. One of the young women was 33. She was told that in Moscow she will pack plates and dishes in a store, but was actually forced to have sex for money in a basement apartment where she lived together with another seven women.
The second woman aged 27 was told that she will clean up in a shop, but found herself in a similar situation. She attempted suicide during the first days. She later served by 5-7 men a day so as to be able to collect the amount of money needed to return to Moldova. She returned home with 3,000 lei.
The case was sent to court in 2017. The procurer was remanded in custody and was then paced under judicial control. She then ran away.
