The Hunt for Britain's Sex Traffickers
MarchWith unprecedented access during 12 months of filming, this three-part documentary series reveals the story of the biggest ever police operation against sex trafficking in Britain and follows unfolding investigations to the eventual sentencing of some of the most serious sex traffickers ever arrested in the UK.
The films follow officers from Bedfordshire, Gloucestershire, Devon and Cornwall as they undertake surveillance operations, mount raids, and break into the extensive criminal networks that traffic women into the UK. This is a growing trade, fuelled by the thousands of British men who use brothels, and reaching far beyond the confines of inner cities, to elegant market towns and quiet suburban streets.
What the police discover shocks even the most hardened investigators: an underworld of labyrinthine scale, in which hundreds of vulnerable women are being duped and coerced into sexual slavery, and criminal syndicates are making hundreds of millions of pounds.
