After they arrived in the UK, Bangura was left alone in a building.
He added: “All of a sudden I saw two or three guys come around me, trying to rape me and make me do stuff.
“Because I was young and I was small, I just started screaming. They probably thought I knew what I was there for - obviously I know what I came over here for, I was here to play football.
“I was just crying and proper screaming and I tried to make my way out - I was cold, I was crying, I was shaking, I didn’t know what to do, I was all over the place.
“I made my way outside. I didn’t know where to start, I thought it was the end of my life.”
Unfortuantly the child sex trade through trafficing is epedemic at the moment in europe. I mentioned this before in the off topic section about an article in the BBC news a few weeks ago that Italy seems to be a peadophiles paradise at the moment with young black African girls and north African boys being tricked by the trafficers into thinking that they can pay there passage of when they get to Italy as they have a job waiting for them, them not knowing that the job is in the sex trade with the Mafia.
It's horific and I just don't get people who say we shouldn't be helping these immigrants.
I'm glad Al Banguru is speaking openly about it. Hopefully it will raise awareness. A very brave man.
