Finally, the tormented victim jumped from the second floor of a house. How desperate must this woman have been?
The trial of a brutal case of forced prostitution, human trafficking, deprivation of liberty and bodily harm began at the Bielefeld Regional Court on Wednesday. Four young men (all 21) are accused.
The prosecution is convinced: For months they forced a young woman into prostitution, abused her, threatened her, locked her up and collected the entire fee for sexual intercourse (at least 20,000 euros).
According to the indictment, the martyrdom of Nelli S. (27) began in the summer of 2019. The young woman had been working as a prostitute for some time when she fell in love with a young john. He suggested she prostitute for him. Out of love, she agreed.
He posted sex ads on the internet and also brought a buddy into the sex business. She had to hand over the sex earnings in full.
When Nelli S. wanted to leave her business at some point, she was first threatened and later sold to two other men for 5,000 euros. Desperate, she fled, but was tracked down after two weeks.
Then “her new owners” allegedly beat her, threatened her with a pistol and locked her in her flat. The next morning she jumped out of the window in the living room and suffered life-threatening injuries.
The trial continues. Verdict on June 24.
