US Magistrate Karla Spaulding has ordered Yelena Aleksandrovna Telichenko held
without bail until a hearing next week.
Telichenko was ordered deported by an immigration judge last year. She was
arrested only on charges she harbored an illegal alien.
A 24-year-old woman who says Telichenko forced her to sleep with men to pay for
rent and food refused to file a report.
According to an affidavit, Telichenko at one point offered the Russian woman to
a man who introduced them to a pimp.
The victim could be deported as well, but authorities say she may be eligible
for a special visa for victims of human trafficking.
