An unemployed model has been jailed for 43 months for her role in trafficking Brazilian women to London and forcing them to work as prostitutes.

One of the women suffered a miscarriage and another contracted syphilis as a result of the work.

The court heard the women were told hidden cameras had been installed and footage of them having sex would be put up online if they disobeyed Shana Stanley, 28.

Stanley and Hussain Edani, 29, pleaded guilty on the sixth day of their trial for a number of trafficking and prostitution offences after a trial at Harrow Crown Court

On Friday, 27 August, Stanley was jailed for 43 months and Edani for 98 months.

Their arrest followed a series of raids on properties in north west London being used by sex workers.

Three Brazilian women were trafficked to the UK and forced to work in brothels and a fourth women, who was British, was tricked into sex work after meeting Stanley, who posed as a modelling agent.

Judge Vanessa Francis told Edani he was the "controlling mind" behind the operation, preyed on vulnerable women and made "promises of a better life."

Prosecutor Barnaby Shaw told the court Edani’s role was to liaise with a contact in Brazil, called Andre, who sought out vulnerable women in favelas in Rio de Janeiro, who were offered well-paid but unspecified work in Britain.

Edani, who was born in Iraq, paid for their flights to Manchester and for them to be enrolled on an English course but he then moved them to London and set them up as sex workers in flats in Harrow and Wembley and ordered them to pay him and Stanley £500 a day from their prostitution earnings.

The prosecutor said the role of Stanley, who had herself been “on the periphery of the sex industry”, was to control the women on a day-to-day basis.

He said the women had their phones and passports confiscated by Stanley who monitored them by tracking devices on mobile phones which she gave them and ordered them to keep on at all times.

Hidden cameras were also installed in the bedrooms of the flats and the women were told the footage would be posted online and sent to their families if they stepped out of line or tried to contact the police.

Victim impact statements written by the four women were read out.

One of the Brazilian women, Marcia, told police: “When I was working for them I felt desperate, dirty and alone. I cried all day. I felt dirty, used and exhausted. Some clients would beat me and some would force me to have anal sex.”
Marcia contracted syphilis and eventually contacted the police in London.

“When I called the police I was terrified. I thought I was going to be killed by a gang,” she said.

The police relocated her to Bradford, in northern England, for several months but while she was there she slept under the bed and was unable to eat or drink.

“I imagined dying in England, as a pauper, and being buried in a grave without my family knowing what happened to me. My hair fell out because of the stress,” added Marcia.
Another victim, Fernanda, explained why she had agreed to come to Britain in the first place.
She said she was married to a bus driver in Rio but the couple had very little money and when she was told of the possibility of working abroad she thought it was “too good an opportunity to turn down.”
Fernanda said she was flown to England but became suspicious when she met Stanley, who took her shopping for clothes.

“It was December, but instead of shopping for functional clothes she bought lingerie and dresses, which made me suspicious,” recalled Fernanda, who was forced into sex work.

She said she found the idea “disgusting” but had no other option as she had no way of paying for a flight back to Brazil.

Fernanda said her marriage has since broken down and she is divorced because her husband blamed her for what happened. 

The court was told 80 percent of people in Rio lived below the poverty line and the average monthly income in one favela, Campo Grande, was US$134 a month, meaning many residents were vulnerable to the lure of better paid work abroad and were often tricked by middlemen, known as gatos.

It is understood two of the women are back in Brazil and the third is still in Britain, where she is being assessed after applying for indefinite leave to remain.

Fuck me Scutty, what does she model, bee-keeping suits? No wonder she was unemployed

As always thanks for bringing these dreadful people to our attention on here, it certainly is an eye opener and good to keep it in people’s minds.

The problem is this seems to be the typical experience of most South American sex workers in the UK.
The recent C4 TV series about the Viner case very much suppressed much of the detail there, making that story seem benign when it was really as nearly sordid as this one

What surprises me is how this story has bypassed the mainstream press. The only reports are in Russia's "Sputnik", and an Asian ex-pat newsheet based in the UK

Thanks Scutty for surfacing this for all our edification 

"Model" is a charitable statement for a woman who was either tricked into posing for adult material by a "charmer" or else took on "modelling" for "photographers" when she had no reliable income.

The lack of coverage?  Political agendas, "unconscious" bias (shaped by media "coverage") and conscious prejudice against those countries who are "sensationally" attributed with being the root of sex-trafficking.

Perhaps punters will drop their fad for Latinas that has swelled these last few years, perhaps more brothels will be dobbed in so plod/CPS will be able to take more impactful action?

Quote from US State Dept report on Brazil External Link/Members Only:
"TRAFFICKING PROFILE

As reported over the past five years, human traffickers exploit domestic and foreign victims in Brazil, and traffickers exploit victims from Brazil abroad. Traffickers exploit women and children from Brazil and from other South American countries, especially Paraguay, in sex trafficking in Brazil. Gangs and organized criminal groups have subjected women and girls to sex trafficking in the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina. Traffickers also exploit Brazilian women in sex trafficking abroad, especially in Western Europe and China. Traffickers lure Brazilian women abroad with false promises to exploit them in sex trafficking; traffickers have feigned offers of successful music careers to entice Brazilian women to travel to South Korea, where they are forced into commercial sex. Traffickers have exploited Brazilian men and transgender Brazilians in sex trafficking in Spain and Italy. Transgender women are one of the most vulnerable populations in Brazil. According to a study conducted in 2019, 90 percent of transgender women in Brazil are in commercial sex, and of those in Rio de Janeiro, more than half are in a situation at high risk for human trafficking. Traffickers often require transgender victims to pay them for protection and daily housing fees. When they are unable to pay, traffickers beat them, starve them, and force them into commercial sex. Traffickers deceive transgender Brazilian women with offers of gender reassignment surgery, planning to exploit them in sex trafficking when they are unable to repay the cost of the procedure. Traffickers exploit children in sex trafficking along Brazil’s highways, including BR-386, BR-116, and BR-285. Child sex tourism remains a problem, particularly in resort and coastal areas; many child sex tourists are from Europe and the United States."

It’s always stunned me the number of Brazilian escorts and the number of reviews. But then an awful lot of punters couldn’t give a shit so long as they get their dicks wet.

Perhaps she's a hand model.

Just read what those pair of parasite cunts did. They shouldn't be in prison for so short a time. They also don't deserve the luxury (sic) of a British prison. A Brazilian and Iraqi prison would be much better at doling out an appropriate punishment and there would be less chance of either getting out alive to start up sex slavery again.

That may well have happened once upon a time, but Mr Blair made sure it would never again and woke up the Wokes in their ivory towers.

Why are you bringing politics into this for? I could happily respond to your comment, but thought politics wasn't allowed on here.

Why did the guy get more than twice the jail sentence? They seem equally to blame. He brought the girls over but she kept them under control while they were here and held on to their passports.

I think you’ve answered your own question - he brought them over. I’d assume trafficking added to his sentence.

I think the real question is why aren’t both of their sentences even longer? It’s pure evil what they did. Ruining many lives and profiting from it. They’ll both be out in 1/2 to 2/3 the sentence.

[Duncy]

So were does this leave us punters as far as Brazilian WG's on AW go, there seems to be quite a few popping up.
Do we leave them alone just in case or take a risk that they are independent as they state?

It's my belief that most are working under similar circumstances

[tynetunnel]

…best left alone then so we don’t add to their misery

Completely agree with you. I wouldn’t go near a Brazilian profile and it amazes me the number of punters who have zero scruples. But what surprises me is that there are so many of them now in the UK. Are there no restrictions on Brazilians? I know some have Portuguese passports but even they can’t get in freely since Brexit.

[PumpDump]

Right, so let me understand this, we should now not see any Brazilians, Romanians or Asians as there have been arrests and convictions for trafficking in the past. Are there any girls left to see?

Forcing them to stay is not any less serious than bringing them over. She was holding on to their passport so they could not leave.

Yes, overpriced brit WGs charging an arm and a leg  .

These followed the standard practice: get a student visa, sign up for a make-believe language school, then work illegally once in the country
