Romanian anti-trafficking investigators claim that the UK has become Europe's biggest market for sex slaves.
Girls as young as 10 or 11 are being “exported” throughout Europe, and are sometimes sold by their own parents in a near-medieval manner, claims Iana Matei, the founder of Reaching out Romania.
Matei runs a shelter for survivors of trafficking, tucked away at a clandestine site 70 miles from the capital Bucharest.
It is no surprise, she says, that most of the victims are originally from rural Romania, where up to 70 percent of the population lives in poverty.
