(My reply was to
HhonorGguard, who seemed to imply any action against the property for libel would be hopeless, as I read it, to put what I said back into context.)
My apologies for not paying attention to the context. You are indeed correct.
Libel, slander, defamation: yes.
Human trafficking, prostitution, pimping: no.
There's not much of a libel/slander/defamation case in the UK when one party reports another party to the police or intelligence services there and doesn't go about otherwise making a public display of their suspicions. It's unfortunate that accusers who get it wrong are so often protected from being found liable for damages -- in the US much as in the UK.
