Authorities with the Cook County sheriff's office are holding three Thai women who claim they had been forced into prostitution upon arriving in the U.S. a few weeks ago, prompting an investigation into a possible human trafficking ring. The women, who say they've been in Chicago, New York, San Francisco and Texas, aren't expected to face criminal charges and federal authorities have joined the investigation into the ring. [Tribune]
