Children trafficked into prostitution in Scotland.
The Scotsman newspaper has reported comments from Detective Sergeant Mike McCormack who leads the Strathclyde organised crime immigration team, claiming that there is a growing problem with child prostitution in Glasgow, with children as young as 12 being trafficked to the city from Slovakia and China. He claims that the children are being trafficked by Albanian criminals.
“We have heard of a 12-year-old girl being prostituted for £10. Others cost £20-£30. They are good looking. Half of the local prostitutes are junkies charging £60. The punters are anyone - people coming out of pubs are offered girls. There is a huge child prostitution issue.” Said McCormack.
