A federal lawsuit accuses Virginia police of covering up a sex trafficking ring in exchange for sexual services from the victims
According to the lawsuit, seen by Insider, five defendants who were on the force at that time — two supervisory officers, a police captain, a police lieutenant, and a chief of police — conspired to protect the traffickers.
At least some of them "secured sexual services from trafficked women, and may also have extorted money from the ring's leadership," according to the complaint.
They worked to undermine an investigation into the trafficking ring by a lone detective, William Woolf, and became hostile to him as he honed in on the illicit operation, the suit said.
