Teenage sex slave found cage.

A teenage sex slave rescued from a cage at a Birmingham brothel didn't even know which country she was in.

The Chinese girl, aged 18, was found locked in the cage after a raid by police.
Other shocking cases of trafficked sex slaves in the West Midlands include a 13-year-old boy from Vietnam whose grandfather sent him to the UK in a bid to secure him a better life.
Instead the boy was smuggled into the country in the back of a lorry by a gang, and then forced to work in the sex industry.
The shocking cases were revealed by Sister Helen Ryan, of St Mary’s Convent of Mercy in Handsworth, Birmingham.
She and her order help young victims of people trafficking - including the 18-year-old Chinese girl.
The nun, who is in her 60s, said: 'We have people knocking the door at all times of the day and night with these problems, but these types of issues are always hidden.

'I worked with a girl from China who is now being cared for. The police found her in a cage in a city brothel. She did not even know which country she was in.
'She was just 18 years old. Thankfully she is now in a safe place.

'One young boy was put in the back of a lorry by his grandad in Vietnam in the hope that he would get a better life.
'He was 13 years old and when he arrived in the West Midlands he was forced to work in the sex industry.
'These organised criminal gangs smuggle them into the country and then exploit them.'


 Sister Helen added: 'In many cases they get the girls hooked on drugs and then use the addiction to force them into the sex trade.
'The brothels they are forced to work in are across the city, but most of the need is centred on inner city areas.
'Most of the children and women who are trafficked here are from the Far East and Africa. But we also have girls brought in from countries in Eastern Europe.
'The biggest difficulty we have is getting them to talk about what has happened to them.
'They are embarrassed that they are in this position.'
Sister Helen arrived in Birmingham in 2003 for a three-year stay, but never left.
