United Press International - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper: "Investigators in Edinburgh say that two women who were brought to the city to be prostitutes are only the tip of a much larger problem.
In one case, a woman from Burundi was brought to Edinburgh by way of Eastern Europe. She was abandoned by a male companion and, not knowing what country she was in, turned up at a police station in Leith.
A Lithuanian woman who escaped in Birmingham told police there that she had spent weeks in Edinburgh. She said she was lured to Scotland with a promise of a job in a restaurant and then forced into prostitution.
Detective Superintendent Brian Donegan, in charge of organized crime investigations, told The Scotsman that investigators are trying to determine how many of the foreign women in the city's sex trade.
Ruth Morgan Thomas, with the prostitute support group Scotpep, said that her group talks to sex workers frequently, including those from outside the country. She said she has found no evidence of women brought to Edinburgh against their will."
