*A 22-year-old female Honduran reported to Police, in the presence of a Human Service Officer, that sometime between May1, 2010 and May, 31, 2010 a female known to her as Tanisha Tucker recruited her by false promises and transported her to Belize through the Western Border. While in the country of Belize, Tanisha brought her to San Pedro Town and compelled her to work in a bar.
