‘Sexual servitude’ charge levied
ASHEBORO, N.C. (AP) — A man is accused of keeping a woman “in sexual servitude” for five years, authorities in North Carolina said.
Salvador Espinoza Escobar, 48, was expected in court today after being charged with one count of felony human trafficking, the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. He was taken into custody Wednesday, the same day the investigation began.
Information from the National Human Trafficking Tip Line helped deputies capture Escobar, the sheriff’s office said. He’s accused of withholding basic needs from the woman in exchange for forced sexual acts since January 2015.
