BBC Presenter Apologizes for Sex Slave Gaffe
Amnesty's Fiona Smith had been explaining to the presenter how human trafficking was big business throughout Northern Ireland and the UK in general.
She said victims were arriving at the UK's borders where they were being "auctioned off at airports" for a lifetime of misery.
However, she was taken aback when the presenter, speaking on his BBC Radio Ulster Nolan show, asked her:
"Would you not say that these girls enjoy the sex?" She told him that the victims of human trafficking had to endure being raped multiple times a day because they had not consented to sex and were being used as slaves.
Nolan later apologised for his remarks as it emerged that listeners had complained to the BBC about his comments.
He said: "I got confused earlier in the show when I asked if these women ever enjoy their job and if they enjoy the sex.
"Of course they don't enjoy if if it is forced upon them and I just want to say sorry."
