Helsinki's Court of Appeals has convicted two Estonian men of human trafficking. The convicts were found guilty of forcing a developmentally disabled woman to prostitute herself. The court found that the men kept the woman in an apartment in Helsinki and sold her to more than a hundred men over the course of three weeks. The crimes took place in the summer of 2008.
