A woman accused of modern slavery offences and the alleged trafficking of two women for sex has appeared before Carlisle Magistrates’ Court.

Ana Stefan, 29, faces three charges under the Modern Slavery Act of 2015.

Two of these allege that she arranged, or facilitated the travel of two different women between 1 January 2020 and 15 September 2021.

The third charge alleges the controlling of prostitution for gain.

Court papers state that she is alleged to have "intentionally controlled the activities of another person in relation to their prostitution in any part of the world for - or in expectation of - gain" for herself.
