'I was forced to work as a secret prostitute in a flat for four years and slept with 7,000 men'
HEARING heavy footsteps coming up the stairs, Stephanie hoped it wouldn't be her door handle that turned this time.
She was only entitled to 45 days of help from the government before she was made homeless and is still seeking asylum. The UK recognised a staggering 5,145 victims from 116 countries in 2017, including adults who had been used for organ harvesting and children that were forced into sexual exploitation.
"She gave me and the other girls there alcohol, and dealt with all the money so I had no money of my own. She says: “I ended up being homeless for over two years, begging and sleeping on night buses or trains - wherever I could." Every night, she would be forced to have sex with multiple strangers who would pay £120 an hour -which was quickly pocketed by her gangland bosses.In 2016, two more teenage girls were rescued after being forced to live in squalor by a Romanian gang in Preston.
Police finally raided the property after someone tweeted to say they'd seen underage girls working there.
