In 2018, Thompson was accused of various human trafficking offenses, including debt bondage, trafficking, and benefiting from trafficked persons’ services. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Her lawyer argued against the trial, but the High Court ruled in favor of the prosecution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These charges were not the first time Thompson faced legal scrutiny; earlier charges were dismissed due to legal issues with the Trafficking in Persons (Prevention) Act, which was later amended to address these concerns.<\/p>
