A foreign woman forced into prostitution in Israel
is suing her pimps for $500,000. Documents released by Tel Aviv District
Court on Monday said the plaintiff, identified only by her first initial,
N., decided to file suit after the Israeli couple that imprisoned her in
their home and pimped her to as many as 30 customers a day were jailed on
slavery charges last year. Her attorney called the lawsuit unprecedented
and said he hoped it would bring about a crackdown on trafficking in foreign
women in Israel. N., 22, said the couple "bought" her for $10,000 from an
illicit agency that brought her to Israel.
