- Prosecutors clarified the current phase is confined to a jurisdictional assessment rather than a fact‑finding investigation.
- The complaint, filed on January 5 by Women’s Link Worldwide, alleges human trafficking for forced labor and servitude, sexual offenses including harassment and assault, injuries, and labor‑rights violations.
- The alleged incidents date to 2021 at properties in the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas, and prosecutors plan to take the complainants’ statements as protected witnesses.
