On January 26, 2011 Marius Nejloveanu, 23, and his father Bogdan, 51 were convicted and jailed for sex trafficking young Romanian girls into the UK. The son has been sentence to 21 years and the father has gotten 6 years. At least 5 girls between the ages of 15 and 23 were tricked into coming to England with promises of legal work only to find themselves forced to work as prostitutes. The women who Marius and Bogdan targeted were vulnerable because wither they were young, easily manipulated or mentally handicapped. Marius would lie saying that he loved them and that they could have a better in the UK, in reality he was found guilty of repeatedly raping and beating them. Father and son made almost $20,000 each month by making the 5 women work 12 hours each day. Juanita Huntington, acting as a receptionist at the brothels, would pay Marius the money the women made each day and report if they didn’t obey the clients. While awaiting trial Marius and Bogdan tried to continue trafficking girls through letters and phone calls.
Personally, I wish the sentencing had been harsher, especially for the father who only got 6 years in prison. He might be let out even earlier along with his son if they have “good behavior”. Clearly the two are not remorseful for what they have done since they tried to traffic girls while being held awaiting trial, so what’s to stop them from picking right where they left off. Those five girls were sexually and physically abused and going to be scarred by that for the rest of their lives. If it were me, I would want them locked up forever without any chance of being released. Sex trafficking is a serious crime that happens between nations and countries on both ends should enforce punishments.
