Not a situation like this

A 36-year-old man who brought a 19-year-old woman from Dublin to a Sligo hotel to work as a prostitute has been jailed for 12 months.
The jailing of Romanian Jacob Trawoly yesterday has been welcomed by a support organisation which works with prostitutes.
Judge Anthony Hunt said the 19-year-old prostitute could not be said to have consented or volunteered to the situation she found herself in. The Judge said he was satisfied Trawoly's main purpose was to ensure he got her to Sligo, ensured she stayed in the Clarion Hotel and supervised her activities.
Trawoly was arrested after staff at the hotel became suspicious and Gardai called to the hotel on June 16th 2011.
The prostitute, also Romanian, had arrived in Dublin a couple of days earlier thinking she was going to work as a dancer in a nightclub.
Judge Hunt said Trawoly of Edgewood Lawns, Blanchardstown could not be described as the 'Mr Big' of the operation. He was operating at the lower end but he had nevertheless played an essential part.
The 19-yea- old woman was not in Sligo on a voluntary basis and went along with activities not particularly of her choice, said the Judge. It was accepted Trawoly did not use violence or coercion and part of his role was to provide protection.
However, he had collected her earnings from a bedside locker and he was satisfied his presence was to ensure she remained in the hotel.
"I've no doubt if she decided to leave he'd have taken steps to ensure she didn't. Only for the actions of the staff he would not have taken steps to end this,"said Judge Hunt.
Gerardine Rowley, Policy and Communications Manager, Ruhama said: "We welcome the 12 month sentence handed down for organising prostitution.
"The court heard harrowing evidence of a young vulnerable woman, who was just 19 years old when she was lured to Ireland with the promise of a better life.
"She was subsequently duped into prostitution and held in debt bondage.
"This, and other cases before the courts in recent years, can only be described as 'text book' human trafficking cases
"We commend the staff at the Clarion Hotel, who did not turn a blind eye but contacted the gardai when they saw suspicious activity.
"We also commend the Gardai on their investigation of this case and the protection they afforded to the victim."
Ms Rowley also welcomed the fact the prostitute was allowed give evidence without being named in the media.
"This ruling should encourage other women, who are victims of crimes within the sex trade, to come forward and give evidence."
Ms Rowley added that from the onset this seemed to be a clear-cut trafficking case. She would like to see legislation which deals with human trafficking and which has been on the Irish statute books since 2008 being used.
The court heard Trawoly was living in Dublin since 2007 with his mother who was in her 60s.
