Olympics will be magnet for sex trafficking gangs, warns Yvette Cooper | News: "THE OLYMPICS will make London a 'magnet' for human trafficking unless ministers launch an urgent crackdown, shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper warned today.
Criminal gangs will use next year's Games to force women and girls into the sex trade and push men into forced labour, Ms Cooper said.
She called on the Government to learn the lessons of the Athens Games in 2004, saying the number of human trafficking victims doubled due to poor prevention efforts.
In a speech to the Stopping Traffick conference, she said: 'There are fears that the London 2012 Olympics could increase the trafficking of vulnerable people into the UK."
