Houston/Beaumont: Massage-Parlors nach mutmaßlichem Menschenhandel geschlossen

Nach einer Razzia in mehreren Massage-Salons in Houston und Beaumont wurden die Einrichtungen aufgrund des Verdachts auf Menschenhandel geschlossen. Die Behörden durchsuchten insgesamt acht Salons und fanden Beweise für illegale Aktivitäten.

Die Ermittlungen ergaben, dass die Frauen in den Salons unter Zwang arbeiteten und oft unter unmenschlichen Bedingungen gehalten wurden. Einige Opfer gaben an, dass sie aus ihren Heimatländern nach Amerika gelockt wurden und gezwungen wurden, sexuelle Dienste anzubieten.

Die Polizei hat mehrere Personen festgenommen, darunter auch die Betreiber der Massage-Salons. Diese werden nun wegen des Verdachts auf Menschenhandel und illegaler Prostitution angeklagt.

Die örtlichen Behörden betonen, dass sie weiterhin hart gegen Menschenhandel vorgehen werden und alle Fälle gründlich untersuchen. Sie rufen die Öffentlichkeit dazu auf, verdächtige Aktivitäten zu melden, um solche Verbrechen zu verhindern.
