It seems to be the protection's sole detail supporting the common understanding of trafficking, and Foley's footnote even describes it as an \"exception\" to the fact that workers were allowed to leave the apartments where they worked - that \"investigators observed on video surveillance inside one of the common hallways of the apartment buildings that Han locked the unit door from the outside after the women entered the unit.\"\n\"It does not indicate that the women could not simply unlock the door from the inside,\" the Boston Sex Workers and Allies Collective noted, \"as is the case in most apartments.\"\nAn employee of the Atmark, the building where the door-locking took place, said Thursday that all its apartment doors can be unlocked from the inside, and that renters are not allowed to replace locks - currently high-tech devices controlled by smartphone - with their own fixtures.\nPerhaps a surprising aspect to the locked door making it into the indictment and sentencing document was how the act was described in the special agent's affidavit: \"I believe Han utilized this tactic so that the commercial sex providers felt that they had to stay in the unit to perform sex acts for cash on behalf of the prostitution network.\" This part wasn't repeated in the documents that followed.\nThat a door had been locked went on to be used by media such as USA\nToday and The Boston Globe. The Globe cited the locked door twice in an article in which advocates described sex work as exploitative, with reporters using it as an example of \"coercive tactics\" that also included \"preparing the apartment before the women arrived.\"",
