Police in Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni) on Saturday rescued four women, including two Venezuelan women, who were being held against their will at Big Hope Backdam and forced to have sexual intercourse.
The rescue operation was led by Assistant Superintendent Chaitram and a party of police ranks from Bartica.
The women are: a 22-year-old from Industry, ECD; a 36-year-old from Golden Grove; and two Venezuelan nationals, ages 24 and 30.
“They appeared to be in good health, and no marks of violence were seen on the exposed parts of their bodies,” Police Headquarters reported in a press release.
They all were interviewed separately. According to the Police, the 22-year-old related that she sent several voice note recordings as it relates to her being held against her will and that she was brought to Big Hope Backdam by one ‘Bobo’, under the impression that she would be working as a Bartender.
However, she soon realised that her employers wanted to exploit her, according to the Police release.
“She left the shop but was forcefully taken back to the shop on instructions from Bobo’s wife. Whilst there, a male relative of Bobo (his brother-in-law) demanded that she have sexual intercourse with men to clear her rent. He further instructed that she must not leave the compound until her rent bill is cleared,” the Police said.
It was further noted that the two Venezuelan women admitted to being sex workers and that they stayed at Bobo’s shop and would pay him rent.
“Checks are being made for suspect Bobo, his wife and his brother-in-law. Arrangements were made to transport the four women to Bartica for further interview/screening,” the Police statement noted.
The investigation is ongoing.

The Patriots got their innings off to a lightning start led by Andre Fletcher’s sparkling strokeplay, the Spiceman’s 360 cricket allowing the Patriots to reach 56 at the end of the Powerplay, but they lost two wickets in the process.
Rahkeem Cornwall induced a mis-timed stroke from Evin Lewis, the opener sweeping only as far as Kyle Mayers for 8 before Joshua Da Silva was run out for five chasing a quick second run.
Outside of the Powerplay the Patriots run scoring slowed significantly, Fletcher and Sherfane Rutherford only putting on 39 runs from 34 balls before Nyeem Young dismissed Rutherford caught and bowled for 28.
Fletcher followed shortly afterwards having just got to his 50, Qais Ahmad trapping him lbw. That was only the beginning of Ahmad’s work as he cleaned up Jyd Goolie to leave the Patriots teetering at 111-5.

Corbin Bosch was innovative at the backend for Patriots (Photo: CPL)Powerful late order hitting from Corbin Bosch (38* off 12) and Dominic Drakes (20* off 14) ensured the Patriots ended with momentum on their side, with a stiff target of 198 for the Royals to chase.
If the Royals were going to chase the total they would need a fast start and they got that and then some with Rahkeem Cornwall smashing 38 from 15 balls to give the reply the impetus it needed.
Having reached 74 at the end of the Powerplay the Royals were well ahead of the game, but Kyle Mayers fell shortly after that to open the door for the Patriots.
The Patriots couldn’t apply further wicket taking pressure but even so with the Royals poised at 150-3 with five overs to go, the match seemed set for a tight finish.
However, captain Rovman Powell saw his side home with a destructive 67 from 29 balls to guide the Royals home with nine balls to spare. (CPL)
