CHARGES of human trafficking were filed against a 35-year-old man who allegedly recruited a girl and two women for sexual exploitation.
The accused was arrested during an entrapment operation by the Regional Anti-Human Trafficking Task Force in a resto bar along V. Rama Avenue, Cebu City last Aug 26.
No bail was recommended. The law prohibits the identification of both the accused and the victims in the media.
Assistant City Prosecutor Simaco Labata found probable cause to indict the accused on charges of violating Republic Act 9208 or the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2003.
In their joint affidavit, the police said they received reports that the man recruited women who were made to have sex with male clients in exchange for money. Reporter Ador Vincent S. Mayol
