African Men sold as Sex Slaves


What is really going on in Africa?

African men have been sold as sex slaves to professional men in Scotland!

MEN have been trafficked into Scotland to be used as gay sex slaves.

In the first known cases of male sex trafficking to hit Scotland, two men were smuggled in from Africa and imprisoned in flats. The men were victims of separate incidents. One was forced to take part in pornography, while the other was sold for sex.

Experts fear that more victims could follow.

Julian Heng, who manages a support project for male prostitutes, said his organisation were called in to help the men. He said: "We have had a couple of requests for telephone support for professionals who were supporting two separate cases of men who had been trafficked into the country.

"They weren't asylum seekers or refugees, they had actually been trafficked into Scotland from Africa."

There are around 700 trafficked women in the UK but when men are trafficked here, it tends to be for manual labour - not sex.

In Scotland, there were about 400 male escort listings on the web in 2008 and half were in the Greater Glasgow area. There are around 100 men who work the streets. Some perform full sex for as little as £10.

This is too crazy!

Strange Story - I guess that some things never go away, like patent medicines and Kate Gosselin. BTW you have been linked to Wondertrash @ the bottom of the post.

That this could happen in 2010 and in an industrialized country is mind boggling.
