This is the horrifying moment a Kenyan boss tried to force a woman to have sex with him in return for work - as an investigation uncovered widespread sexual abuse on tea farms.

BBC reporters found that women had been pressured into sex at farms supplying PG Tips, Lipton, Tesco and Sainsbury's - with one victim being infected with HIV.

An undercover journalist was invited to an interview in a hotel room where she was quickly asked to start touching James Finlay & Company recruiter John Chebochok who instructed her to take her clothes off and 'lie down'.

The victim, called Katy, was wearing a secret camera and was pinned against a window by the recruiter as she kept saying: 'I haven't consented'.

He said: 'Touch me.

Just touch me a bit. Just consent. I'll give you some money, then I'll give you a job. I have helped you, help me. We'll lie down, finish and go. Then you come and work.'

A BBC team in the hotel then called her on her mobile so she could escape. 

The joint investigation by BBC Panorama and slot online terpercaya BBC Africa Eye found that more than 70 women who work on the plantations had suffered some form of sexual harassment at work. 

The victims worked on plantations owned by consumer giant Unilever and James Finlay.

One woman claimed she had been infected with HIV by her boss, who demanded sex.

Another victim said a manager cancelled her work until she agreed to have sex with him.

She said: 'It is just torture; he wants to sleep with you, then you get a job'. 

Another woman was forced to comply and said afterwards: 'I can't lose my job because I have kids'.
