Durban - Police believe they may have uncovered a human trafficking ring operating from Phoenix in Durban after they arrested a 37-year-old man who allegedly exploited teenagers by selling them as sex slaves. Details of the crimes, which allegedly also include forcefully taking semi-naked pictures of young girls, emerged after one of them charged the man with rape.
However, when police arrested him earlier this month, he appeared in court on a charge of human trafficking. According to Phoenix police spokesperson Captain Louise Naidoo, it was the suspect’s ex-wife who reported to police that he used their 17-year-old daughter to lure her young friends to their house, informing their parents they were going away on holiday.
