Four arrested for trafficking of disabled person, failure to report crime

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia on Friday said four people had been arrested for trafficking a disabled person and failing to report a “particularly serious crime”.

The body said the alleged offenders “sexually exploited” the victim using psychological violence, forcing them to provide sexual services for other individuals in exchange for money that was then appropriated by the group.

The investigation also found one of the arrested individuals had failed to report the crime despite having been aware of the activities.

The body also noted the alleged offenders had a criminal record and added the crimes were punishable by up to 14 years of imprisonment.
