TULSA (AP) Eight people have been sentenced to prison terms for their roles in a widespread human trafficking case that spanned several cities, federal agents in Tulsa announced Tuesday. U.S. Attorney Danny C. Williams said six people were sentenced Monday and Tuesday. Two other people connected with the case were sentenced last year. The investigation, dubbed "Operation Poker Chip," got its name from the poker chips that were given to customers who paid a middleman to have sex with a sex trafficking victim. The customer turned the chip into the victim, and the chips were collected at the end of every day so the sex traffickers could keep track of how many customers they had, investigators said. "Make no doubt about it, human trafficking is modern slavery," Williams said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon. "In this case, it was forced labor of the most despicable kind." Their sentences come after a woman was smuggled into the U.S. from Mexico more than eight years ago, lured with a promise of steady work waiting tables at a restaurant and the possibility of sending home some of what she earned. Instead, she was yelled at, beaten and drugged by her captors and moved around the country at a frantic pace so she could be forced into having sex with paying customers, federal officials said. She managed to contact authorities, who raided brothels operating out of barred-up apartments in east Tulsa. Investigators discovered that the operation stretched from Tulsa to Houston, Atlanta and other major cities. The United States is both a major destination and source of trafficking victims. And Oklahoma remains a top stop for traffickers thanks to its high drug use, poverty and the crossroads of three major interstate highways in its capital city. Statistics for human trafficking are virtually impossible to track, but law enforcement officials and trafficking experts say the transport and exploitation of children, men and women for labor or sex work is one of the world's largest and fastest growing criminal enterprises, claiming millions of victims and billions of dollars for traffickers. "Human trafficking is an abhorrent crime and the victims are targeted because they're vulnerable and easy to exploit," said James Finch, the Special Agent in Charge of the FBI in Oklahoma. 'These victims are usually deprived of basic human rights, they are beaten, starved and forced into prostitution."

Senate passes monitoring for nursing homes

OKLAHOMA BRIEFS

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) The Oklahoma Senate has approved legislation that would allow residents of nursing homes to install electronic monitoring devices in their private rooms. Senators passed the measure 44-0 Tuesday and sent it to the state House for consideration. The measure is designed to provide a higher level of protection for Oklahoma seniors. The bill is a priority for the AARP Oklahoma, the state's largest senior organization with more than 410,000 members

statewide. The bill requires nursing homes to let residents or their legal representatives know about the opportunity for electronic monitoring in their rooms. The bill also prohibits nursing facilities from refusing to admit any potential resident because they want their room monitored.

Oklahoma battlefield named historic landmark

CHECOTAH (AP) The National Park Service and Secretary of the Interior have designated a Civil War battlefield in Oklahoma as a new
