Three traffickers jailed for nail bar exploitation

Three people have been sentenced following the first successful prosecution in the UK for exploitation and enforced child labour under the 2015 Modern Slavery Act. Officers from Avon and Somerset Police and Staffordshire Police unravelled the human trafficking operation which saw young Vietnamese teenagers forced to work without wages in nail bars across the country. The sentences were welcomed by DI Clair Langley of Staffordshire Police and DI Charlotte Tucker from Avon and Somerset Police.
