Police try to get information from Lerato, a girl suspected of co-ercing Jennifer, a 13yr old girl into coming on a bus ride with her from Durban to Johannesburg and then handing her over to her boyfriend, a pimp, so that she could be used as a sex worker. Lerato was a sex worker working for her boyfriend, but had stopped almost 6 months earlier and instead helped him to find young girls. She was arrested for her role in the abduction of Jennifer. Johannesburg, December 2004.
