The contact address which the agent in their native country gave them sometimes does not even exist or the people at this address don't accept the contract.

The district judge sentenced the accused of single body injury and compulsion to other obscene activities

Both the prostitutes said again and again that they were afraid of the accused accomplice, the ex-husband of the salon's owner (female owner)who had to spent 24 months behind bars (he was in prison). The 2 women were in love with the man who was violent and was previously convicted. They did everything he asked them to do for him. They were beaten and humiliated, they didn't take the risk to do anything against his wishes and also they didn't try to run away.
