Six arrested over voodoo prostitution ring in Nigeria after gang branded women with irons then forced them to sell sex
Tortured women and scared them with curses to force them on to streets
Women were taken from Nigeria and transported to Spain
Told them would be cursed if they broke voodoo spell
Spanish police say they have broken up a ring that smuggled in women from Nigeria and forced them into street prostitution by burning them with irons and using voodoo rituals.
The gang tortured the women and scared them with curses to force them on to the streets.
Six people, including one woman believed to be a ringleader- were arrested after one of the women alerted authorities.
'The control exercised over women was total, involving verbal threats as well as physical violence and various voodoo ceremonies to terrorise them,' police said in a statement
The ring caused them serious injury through bites or by using an iron to cause second-degree burns.'
The ring allegedly recruited women in Benin City, a run-down Nigerian port, reported Sky News.
Most of the women were vulnerable struggling to raise children because their husbands and fathers had died.
The gang transported the women over land to Morocco.
From there they were smuggled them on to small wooden boats and taken into Spain.
They were forced to work as street prostitutes in Barcelona and Malaga.
Spanish police have swooped several times in past years on similar prostitution rings that used the threat of voodoo curses.
Often the victims are taken to shrines ad told to leave items behind - they are told this gives the voodoo pirests power to harm them from afar.
They are instructed they need to pay their debts and forced to join a prostitution ring - the women fear breaking their promise will hold catastrophic consequences for both them and their families.
Sex gangs often use a form of witchcraft or juju to scare their 'slaves' into working for them.
Last year, a Nigerian people smuggler who used witchcraft rituals to force children to work as sex slaves was jailed for 20 years in Britain,
Osezua Osolase, 42, tricked poverty-stricken Nigerian orphans into travelling to the UK with the promise of a better life.
But the young victims were raped, sexually abused and subjected to voodoo-style rituals by a child trafficking ring.
Osolase, the linchpin of a multi-million pound global sex trafficking ring, used 'juju' magic to control his victims.
He told the teenage girls they would die or never bear children if they tried to escape or revealed what had happened to them.
And of course this was the first image they wanted to use in the article.
Porn stars on Vine: they're just like us
Twitter's six-second video sharing app has allowed porn stars to share the surprising normalcy of their everyday lives and connect with audiences on a more personal level than ever before.
In the olden days of pornography, the lives of the performers were mostly limited to what we saw acted out on film.
Of course, rabid fans knew who Linda Lovelace was hooking up with offscreen and whether Jenna Jameson actually dated women in real life; but on the whole, porn stars existed as larger-than-life projections of what their audiences wanted them to be.
They played to the fantasies of millions, then disappeared back into their private lives. Under the guise of their erotic fake names and strategically-tailored public personas, they could expose every inch of themselves, yet still remain completely unknowable as human beings.
That is, until social media came along and changed everything.
While Facebook continues to lock out porn stars (their "no nudity" policy extends to Instagram as well), Twitter has welomed them with open arms. Not only can these performers tweet nude photos and other NSFW material to their personal accounts, but they can also use Vine—Twitter's six-second video sharing app, the moving picture version of Instagram—to create mini-movies of themselves for the world to see.
However, not all of these Vines are as titillating or overtly sexual as one might think. In fact, many of them are downright mundane: driving in traffic, cooking dinner, spinning around in parking lots (fun fact: Lexi Belle and I have the same Ikea office chair) and other activities that aren't unlike anything you, your sister or your best friend might capture on a given day.
This disarming display of normalcy is what makes these videos so remarkable. Porn stars are pulling back the curtain on their private lives and showing viewers that despite their "unique" career paths, they're really just like us.
For example, porn actress and activist Stoya wrote a wonderful piece for Vice a couple of weeks ago that defends this cultural shift, saying that social media outlets like Twitter, Tumblr and Vine have been enormously helpful in allowing viewers to see porn stars as more than just sexual objects:
"Porn stars can definitely be quirky and are probably more sexually liberated than the average adult, but we aren't so far removed from humanity that we're above concerns like bills and laundry," Stoya writes, "To pretend that we are underestimates the intelligence of people who are interested in the lives of porn stars or what goes on behind the scenes of the adult film industry."
Dylan Ryan is another porn actress who defends the right of women to be sexually liberated in whichever ways feel right for them, even going as far as to say that the choice of an adult film career can be both "feminist" and "empowering."
"I am the agent of my own experience," Ryan told the Huffington Post, "One of the things that people often think about porn is that the women who are performing in it are distant from their bodies or they're there because they're getting paid or because they've been sexually abused or because they have a very unhealthy sense of self. And while those stereotypes are based in a lot of realities that exist...that's not the experience of every performer, and that's not been my experience."
Perhaps one can be a feminist and a porn star, a kinky exibitionist and a down-home girl who likes to Vine videos of her cat jumping onto a beanbag chair. All of us are full of contradictions, some of them surprising and often endearing: that's what makes us human.
Does seeing photos and videos of Stoya goofing off with her friends or Lexi shopping for Nutella at the grocery store strip away their fantasy, or make them even more interesting—and by extension, even more sexy and appealing—to porn fans and naysayers alike?
Leave me your take on the humanization of porn stars (and whether this has been a positive or negative side effect of our 2013 "insta-share" culture) in the comments section below.
