Sex-trafficking victim who dialed 911 sues responding police

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A woman who called 911 to report she was being held hostage is suing the Albuquerque Police Department and two of its officers on grounds that they did not rescue here when they could have. KOB-TV reported (http://bit.ly/2rUV2YT ) Friday that the lawsuit claims police failed to adequately investigate after she called for help, which created a situation where her captor then raped her, beat her and shaved her head in retaliation. The woman was a victim of sex trafficking and remained a hostage days after she secretly found a phone and called for help. She escaped from Tito Fajardo, who has since been imprisoned, by coming up with a plan where Fajardo took her near a sheriff's office. She was then able to run toward deputies and beg for help. ___ Information from: KOB-TV, http://www.kob.com
