Nightclub owner accused of human trafficking dies
Thompson had been facing charges related to human trafficking, including three counts of debt bondage, five counts of human trafficking, and two counts of benefiting from the services of trafficked individuals.
These charges were filed in June 2018, and the trial was expected to take place at a later date.
It is believed that in the same year, Thompson trafficked multiple Jamaican women to Antigua and Barbuda, exploiting them sexually through deceitful means.
She allegedly received money from their services and subjected them to debt bondage.
