A trafficker who threatened to use "juju magic"against the women and children she helped bring into Europe for forced prostitution has been sentenced to 22 years imprisonment today.
 
Franca Asemota, 38, was convicted on 3rd August at Isleworth Crown Court of eight counts of conspiracy to traffic persons for sexual exploitation, two counts of trafficking persons outside of the UK for sexual exploitation and two counts of assisting unlawful immigration.
 
Asemota was part of a criminal network that trafficked girls, boys and women from Nigeria to Europe, using the threat of "juju magic" to guarantee their compliance.
 
David Davies, CPS London reviewing lawyer, said:"This case demonstrates how the CPS will work with partners, in the UK and overseas, in order to tackle the trafficking gangs who make huge profits from human misery.

"Franca Asemota played a key role in exploiting the poverty and vulnerability of her victims with the aim of forcing them into prostitution to make money for criminals.

"These girls were from poor, rural backgrounds with little education or knowledge of the world. They were targeted because of this and promised legitimate jobs in Europe. Only when they were far away from their homes were they told the truth - that they would have to work as prostitutes.

"The traffickers used alleged juju magic to exert complete control over their victims, using rituals to 'curse' them and ensure their compliance. The girls were told that if they disobeyed their captors or tried to escape, the curse would cause them injury, infertility or even death.

"Although only five victims have been identified the evidence showed that she facilitated the trafficking of around 40 people, mainly young girls, between August 2011 and May 2012.

"I would like to thank the victims in this case for supporting the prosecution and giving evidence in court. They have been through a traumatic ordeal and their bravery and courage has helped bring Asemota to justice."
