Woman and 3 teens wanted on human trafficking charges after victim says she was held for 5 days

Calgary police are looking for a woman and three teenagers who face human trafficking charges after a woman reported being held against her will and forced to have sex with strangers for five days in a southwest apartment.

The victim escaped from the apartment and ran into a store in the 900 block of Fifth Avenue S.W. last Wednesday. There, she told staff she'd been forcibly confined across the street for five days and repeatedly sexually assaulted, according to a Calgary Police Service release.

Police believe the victim met one of the suspects in the lobby of the apartment building, where she was taken upstairs and assaulted.

It's alleged that over the course of the next five days, the suspects pimped out the victim to more than 10 men, forcing her to "perform sexual acts."

The victim is "doing very well" and has been offered services through the police force, accordingtoDet. Scott Mizibrocky with the sex crimes unit.

"The store's employees were very helpful to the victim," saidMizibrocky.
