A human trafficker who lured women from Thailand and forced them into the sex trade has been jailed for nine years.

Manachaya Wanitthanawet, 40, created online adverts for prostitution, which took place at venues in Dundee, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Inverness and Newcastle.

She had arranged for victims to travel from Thailand to Scotland where they were originally asked to work at a massage parlour, but were exploited as sex workers after being told they owed £90,000.

Her former partner and client Cameron Wilson, 30, who laundered almost £150,000 from the crime scheme was jailed for 21 months.

The pair, who were latterly sharing an address in Yeovil, in Somerset, had denied a series of charges at the High Court in Dundee.

A trial heard that AirBnB properties in Dundee and across Scotland were used as brothels for the women to meet clients, with victims forced to have sex with up to 15 men a day to pay off supposed debts.
