Colombia’s prosecution said Tuesday that it had dismantled a human trafficking ring that allegedly tricked more than 100 girls and women into working as sex slaves in Trinidad and Tobago.
Three women from La Dorada, Caldas were arrested on charges that for 10 years they had recruited girls and women between 15 and 19 from the small town with promises they would be able to find work abroad.

According to the United States’ Department of State, which monitors global human trafficking, Colombian authorities had “identified 96 trafficking victims” last year.
“Of these, 69 were exploited in sex trafficking, 12 in forced labor, two in forced begging, and 13 were unknown,” the State Department said in its 2018 report.
