A jury has rejected a woman’s allegations that a former police chief in Virginia and three other officers protected a prostitution ring that she said trafficked her.

A Costa Rican woman sex worker, Jane Doe, alleged in a lawsuit that four Fairfax, Virginia officers protected a local sex ring and paid for sex.

A woman who says she was lured from Costa Rica into a Virginia-based sex-trafficking ring says a former police chief and three other officers were clients of the enterprise and allowed it to operate.

The woman known to jurors only as Jane Doe shook her head Thursday when her lawyer asked her a question she knew was coming but clearly dreaded — could she describe the injuries she suffered during five years in a Virginia-based sex trafficking ring?

The allegations have evolved since the lawsuit was filed in 2021. The lawsuit initially did not identify any of the officers by name.
