Eleven members of a gang that were convicted of sexually exploiting hundreds of women after one victim managed to escape from a London brothel were sentenced to prison on Thursday.

The Metropolitan police said the woman, now aged 26, had escaped the property in Church Road, Newham, by climbing over a garden fence after being left alone.

The victim was brought to the UK from Hungary in 2013 and taken to brothels in Peterborough and London.

Police said she had started a relationship with 30-year-old Jeno Burai while in Hungary, but he had actually been grooming her for exploitation.

Burai began abusing and beating the woman and threatened to kill her, the Met said.

She was forced to work as a prostitute in Hungary and Austria before Burai brought her to the UK in July 2013.

The woman was then taken to a brothel on Star Road in Peterborough where she was sometimes made to sleep with more than 10 men a day.

According to the Met, Burai sold the woman to Zsolt Blaga, a 38-year-old Hungarian national in Peterborough also known as “Snake,” to settle a debt.
