    Six Lithuanian men were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 1 to 3.5 years for running a sex trafficking ring that brought Lithuanian women to Sweden under false promises and forced them into prostitution. The trafficking operation generated an estimated $141,000 over 10 months by exploiting vulnerable women and only paying them a small portion of the earnings while the rest was sent back to the men's bosses in Lithuania. One victim, a 19-year-old woman, was promised $10,000 per day but forced to see between 5-8 clients daily and did not receive any of the money herself.

    Six men on trial for trafficking Lithuanian women to Sweden and selling them for sex were
    sentenced to prison on Tuesday for running an elaborate trafficking and pimping operation
    estimated to have generated one million kronor ($141,000) in only ten months.

    The men, all Lithuanian citizens in their twenties, were handed prison sentences ranging from one
    to three-and-a-half years and ordered deported from Sweden after serving their sentences.
    The youngest of the men, aged 21, was given the stiffest sentence: 3.5 years in prison and a 10year expulsion from Sweden following a conviction for human trafficking and aggravated pimping.
    The two men who received the stiffest penalties were based in Sweden and served as local
    managers for the operation, while the four others are believed to have administered the pimping
    operation, including identifying clients, placing ads on the internet, and collecting money which was
    then sent back to their bosses in Lithuania.
    According to prosecutor Lars gren, the men lured vulnerable Lithuanian women under false
    promises of the riches that awaited them if they came to Sweden to sell sex.
    He estimated that the men's operation generated a turnover of one million kronor between
    November 2010 and August 2011.
    However, the women who worked as prostitutes saw only a small share of the earnings.
    One of the women, who recently turned 19, was promised 10,000 kronor a day when she was
    recruited from a small Lithuanian village.
    She had never sold sex previously, but once in Sweden was forced to be with between five and
    eight clients per day.
    According to the court, the 19-year-old had been a victim of human trafficking.
    "She didn't get to keep a penny of what she earned. But she was so naive and willing that she
    followed the men here three times," gren told the TT news agency.
    The woman has since been offered safe housing in Sweden and will be allowed to stay in the
    country.
