A more charitable reading might detect irony in that comment. Their intent might not have been victim-blaming.

It’s in poor taste at best. This is a trafficked woman who was being kept on a leash by her trafficker. Whether she had an iPhone is completely irrelevant, as long as she went near people who did the tracking still worked. But if her trafficker was forcing her to carry around an iPhone it’s even more sad.
At the very least one has to take a moment and chose their words when commenting on trafficking topics. This is actually one of the happy cases — there are traffickers who implant tags into their victims’ bodies in various ways. It’s nothing to make light of.

My hot take: hostile reads are in pore taste. We need less of that.
