FROM STRIPPER TO MADAM: Woman accused of human trafficking


NASSAU-A former stripper has been accused of making three Jamaican women sell their bodies.
Prosecutors say Avagay Jemison, who is also Jamaican, tricked the women into the sex trade by inviting them to stay with her in Nassau.
Once they arrived, Jemison allegedly kept their passports and forced them into prostitution to reimburse her for their airfare.
Jemison, 29, who is married to a Bahamian, denied the allegations at her arraignment before Deputy Chief Magistrate Andrew Forbes on Friday, January 31.
When she worked as a stripper Jemison performed under the stage name Spice.
She has been remanded into custody without bail and returns to court for the start of her trial on March 31.
