There are hundreds of homes on Long Island where immigrants, especially women, are held in conditions that approach slavery, Suffolk District Attorney Thomas Spota said Friday at a human trafficking conference.\r\n\r\nAnd many of those who end up working long hours for little or no pay, or who are forced into sex slavery, are lured to the United States by unscrupulous people who promise safe, well-paid jobs, Spota said.\r\n\r\nOn Long Island, most of the victims of human trafficking come from Mexico or Eastern Europe, Spota said. They come for a better life, but find slavery, he said.\r\n\r\n
At the conference, several law enforcement and civic organizations said that they plan to work together to crack down on human trafficking in the region, armed with recent state and federal laws that include tougher penalties.
