The police say the owner of the nightclub in Colleyville, Manchester where one of two girls was raped by a group of men on Monday morning will be charged with human trafficking.

In the meantime, head of the Area Three Police Assistant Commissioner Derrick Cochrane says the two girls ages 14 and 15 have been taken into police custody as juveniles in need of care and protection under the Child Care Act.

Both girls were reportedly engaged in exotic dancing at Paulette’s Night Club.

The parents of the girls are also being questioned by the police.

The police have held one of the alleged rapists who was chopped by a patron of the club.

The owner of the club was also stabbed while trying to save the girls.

The other men involved in the incident are being sought by the police.
