Prostitution: Russian in the dock

A court ruling will be issued on December 29 against a Russian woman, who forced two fellow country women into prostitution. The defendant reportedly lured her victims to come to Bahrain by giving them fake employment offers to work as waitresses. But they were forced to sleep with strangers in return of money, court reports read.

One of the victims told prosecutors that the woman told her that she needed to pay thousands of Bahraini dinars if she wanted to quit. “She told me that she spent thousands of Bahraini dinars to bring me to Bahrain. I have to pay the money back if I want to return to my country. Then I decided to call the Russian Embassy and I informed them about our ordeal,” she told prosecutors.

The alleged Russian pimp was found to be an illegal resident, and was charged with staying in the Kingdom without permit too.
