So it took a really long time.

They're facing charges of human trafficking, rape, abusive weakness of persons as part of a gang.

And, or, you know, abusive, abusive weakness and vulnerability of a person.

Sequestration, which is that, oh, kidnapping and sequestration.

So that's, you know, kidnapping, taking and, and keeping them.

Captive, essentially.

In a place, captive, essentially.

Yeah.

So these are the, the sorts of charges.

Yeah.

And, yeah, there's also some quite high-up leaders that were arrested in Georgia, I believe they were.

Georgia the country.

This was in November 2023.

So, coincidentally, the docuseries was already underway at that time and they were in Australia with us.

And the day before I'd been doing some filming with them and talking about how, you know, I just felt like nothing was happening and I was scared that nothing was going to happen and he was just going to get away with it.

And then literally that night we found out that he'd been arrested.

So it was quite remarkable that they were kind of there and able to capture the real authentic response to that arrest.

He's still in custody.

It hasn't gone to trial yet.

I think technically nothing's guaranteed to go to trial, but I'm confident that it will go to trial, but I don't know when.
