The High Criminal Court rejected the appeal of an Asian man convicted of trafficking two women and raping one of them.

He was sentenced to life in prison.

The defendant is said to have locked up the two women in an apartment and forced them to have sex with strangers.

He is believed to have been living on the money he was generating from the crime.

Moreover, he didn’t just force them into prostitution but also raped one of the women after refusing to sleep with men.

He forced her to have sex with 20 men in one week.

His wrongdoing was exposed after one of the two women managed to establish contact with her embassy, whose officials alerted police officers. The apartment was raided by police.
