ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A federal jury has heard testimony from a woman whose civil lawsuit accuses a former police chief in Virginia and three other officers of protecting a sex-trafficking ring they had used as clients. The woman, identified only as Jane Doe, sobbed uncontrollably Thursday as she testified about indignities suffered at the hands of clients during five years of work in the prostitution ring. The woman says she was trafficked from Costa Rica into the U.S. in 2010 on promises of work as a nanny and as a high-class escort. All four officers deny they were complicit in her trafficking, though two admit that they were clients of the prostitution ring.
