Police have reported that the leader of a forced labor ring in Princeton had 15 women living in squalid conditions, sleeping on the floor while they worked to pay off their 'debt.' The investigation revealed that the women were allegedly coerced into labor under harsh and exploitative conditions. They were promised legitimate work but were instead subjected to long hours, minimal pay, and were forced to live in overcrowded and unsanitary quarters.

The leader of the ring is accused of manipulating the women by claiming they owed significant debts that had to be worked off. This debt bondage kept the women in a cycle of exploitation, unable to leave due to fear of retaliation and lack of resources. The forced labor ring came to light after one of the women managed to escape and report her situation to the authorities.

Law enforcement officials conducted a raid on the location, rescuing the women and arresting the alleged ringleader. During the raid, police found evidence supporting the claims of forced labor and inhumane living conditions, including financial records and communication indicating the women were being exploited.

The lawyer representing the accused ringleader has denied any involvement in human trafficking, asserting his client's innocence and suggesting that the women were working voluntarily and were free to leave at any time. The lawyer argues that the accusations are baseless and that his client will be exonerated once all the facts are presented.

The investigation is ongoing as authorities continue to gather evidence and interview the rescued women to piece together the full extent of the operation. Police are also looking into whether there are additional victims or accomplices involved in the ring.

The case has sparked outrage and calls for increased measures to combat human trafficking and forced labor. Community leaders and advocacy groups are urging for better support systems for victims and more stringent laws to prevent such exploitation.

As the legal process unfolds, the rescued women are receiving assistance from social services and non-profit organizations to help them recover from their ordeal and rebuild their lives. Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses and more information becomes available.
