SPECIAL REPORT: Rock FM speaks to two teenage victims of human trafficking in Preston

Three men have been found guilty of trafficking two teenage Romanian girls and forcing them to work as prostitutes in Preston.

Marius Petre, Adrian Matei and Ionut Ion - all from Longworth Street Preston promised the girls a better life.

They've been found guilty at Preston Crown Court of offences related to human trafficking and sexual exploitation, after two Romanian girls were found at an address in Preston in July 2015.

26-year old Marius Petre was found guilty of intentionally arranging/ facilitating entry to the UK of a person with a view to their sexual exploitation, causing/ inciting prostitution for financial gain and two counts of rape.

34-year old Adrian Matei was found guilty of intentionally arranging/ facilitating entry to the UK of a person with a view to their sexual exploitation, causing/ inciting prostitution for financial gain and two counts of rape.

35-year old Ionut Ion was found guilty of keeping/ managing a brothel used for prostitution and two counts of rape.

The two victims met the men in a nightclub in Romania last year and believed them to be their boyfriends.

The men promised them a better life and could give them jobs as maids in the UK.

They were smuggled into the country by car.

When they arrived in the UK, they were taken to a house on Longworth Street in Preston and were threatened and forced into becoming prostitutes.

The girls told Rock FM that they were both physically and sexually abused by the traffickers.

The girls have been kept in a safe house for their own protection during the trial - they'll now be able to start new lives in the UK.
