anything negative when i did it, was just gone. >> these are kids that grow up in grace households, stable households. >> dana's story is not shocking to scott macy who says he counsels many high achieving young men and women who have sold themselves for drugs. >> addiction is a physical and a mental, you know. and it's what we consider a brain decide. >> a former addict, scott macy knows firsthand the devastating impact of what is known as chasing the dragon. like dana, he lived a double life going back and forth from his white collar job to detroit's east side to feed his addiction. >> addiction just takes over any type of thought process. any type of, you know, just takes over their life. and you know, it's just an obsession of the mind. >> dana says her $20 a day

society, if you will, of men that created an online website where the girls would go there and post. and you know, people could call you and set up a date with you. >> these are kind of like a secret society type of websites. where the average person has to apply to gain access into the society. you basically fill out a form on the internet, and they do a background check on you through the information that you provide to them. and it's very difficult to get into these websites. >> and what kind of men frequent it? >> it messed with trust issues with me, with trusting people. you look at them and you see that just like the deception there, and sometimes hearing people you're with calling their wives as they're in the room with you saying i'm at the grocery store, i'll be home in an hour, and i'm thinking now you're going to sleep with me

right after you get off the phone with your wife? i dealt with that a lot, that was hard. >> it's hardly glamorous, it's violent, ugly, quick, and nameless, and it's hurtful. >> fighting to stay clean remains a daily struggle for dana. with the support of her family, she made the difficult decision to go public in order to help other struggling teens. >> my real hope is that from my experiences, if i could help one person teetering on the edge of addiction, or somebody that is addicted or thinking of selling themselves to help step back from that, it would make me feel like everything i went through wasn't for nothing. coming up, a wake up call

♪ while some women like dana might be able to operate in the underground sex trade like hers without a pimp, they say it's not the norm. >> she was an independent, and that's not typical. many girls one way or another are around a pump. there is always one involved one way or another. >> police say it's not uncommon for some pimps to require their working girls not only to sell sex acts for money, but also to recruit other girls to join the

stable. >> these two young ladies are doing calls -- >> why are there two? >> one is teaching another. >> we witnessed that on a upscale hotel in detroit. >> how much was it? >> $250, but that was a surprise, i thought there was just going to be one young lady here. >> does that happen a lot? >> not really. >> at 19, prison say this young woman named april is the experienced one. she's familiar to the task force from a prior arrest when they also got her pimp. >> on that sting they met with the undercover officer. when she got the money, she slipped the money under the door to jason. he was detained in the stairwell by the arrest team with the laptop and the money.

>> they say he was using april to break in a new recruit. >> she tried to convince me that her friend was okay, cool, and here to have a good time as well. and she looked nervous and out of place. it was evident to me this was her first rodeo, she was very out of place. >> back at the state police post, investigators separate the women for further questioning. >> how are you doing, you want to give a statement or talk to me? >> no. >> not at all? >> how come? >> bay i don't want to talk. >> okay, not a problem. tonight, april takes the fifth, but her friend lori is ready to talk. she tells police that she was tricked into the in-call situation by april and her pimp jason. >> she was told she would just answer the calls and she was

encouraged to watch, and if she felt like she could, she was supposed to get involved. and she was upset about it, you know, felt awful about it. >> police say young women like lori usually don't fall into prostitution overnight. it's often a process that takes a lot of time and smooth talk from so called romeo pimps like jason. >> they will take months to groom a girl because they know towards the end she will be selling her body from them and they will make money from that. they will take them out to dinner and say i have feelings for you, buy them gifts and all that. they may start off slow and they may say you need to just answer the phones, you don't have to have sex, but at some point that will change. >> jason was arrested outside of the hotel room that he rented for april and lori.

he says tonight's run in with the law was one big misunderstanding. >> what happened to you tonight? >> apparently someone that was in the room they rented out did something wrong, and the fact that it was my room is why i'm down here. >> you think you were wrongly brought down here? >> definitely, i didn't do anything wrong. i wasn't -- if something went wrong in the room or whatever i wasn't there. it was just the fact that it's my room. >> jason's on camera performance is just one example of a pimp's capacity for smooth talk and lies as he seeks to pus distance between himself and his girls. >> that's typical. most pimps will do that or exploiters where they will distance themselves from the room or the girls and act like they don't know them. >> we just have to see the evidence and the connection between your cell phone and her cell phone. >> he says pimps like jason have a natural talent for deceiving

and manipulating young women. >> it's like a sports player. some can hit a ball, some are good at jump shots. these guys are good at lying to females or lying in general. >> i'm not a human trafficker, i don't know why i'm here right now. >> really? >> do you know what human trafficking is? >> i believe that it is forcing people under age to do sexual things for money or something. >> okay, this is your -- >> this is the effort, i mean, they should be stopped, that's terrible. but i don't understand, you know, where people that do have anything do with that is washed up in the whole mix. i don't understand, you know. >> i think the reason that you were brought down is because the girls in your room, one of them i guess is your girlfriend,

had -- they made an appointment with a undercover officer to have sex with him for money. >> you know what, i don't believe that. until i talk to who was involved, and i don't know what was going on, i wasn't there. so that's bizarre to me that somebody that would be my girlfriend would do something like that. i don't know who was there or what was going on. i don't know if you have the right person or what as far as who is my girlfriend. >> jason's ongoing effort is thrown aside when they release his girl april. >> so is this your girlfriend? >> yeah. >> what's wrong? >> just like you saw he told you all those things and when it's time to leave at the end of the night with their tickets, they walked out together. >> they're not going to let me go unless you come get me. >> as far as lori is concerned, police hope tonight's trip to

jail will be enough to make her think twice before hanging out with friends like april and jason ever again. >> my take on it is that she's got an acquaintance and bad friend that every parent worries about. the friend that makes the bad decisions. >> i feel like this will be a good night for her because she will hopefully get a wake up call. hopefully realize what a dangerous road this is. and kind of see the error of her ways. >> up next, neither rain nor sleet nor gloom of night will stop these souls from feeding their hunger for drugs.

>> just be -- you're okay, sweetheart. >> i don't want to get you in trouble. how bad is it? >> it's not heroin, but i left my family and nursing school about six months ago. >> you were in nursing school? >> uh-huh. >> how powerful is that addiction? >> very. >> and then did you have children? >> yeah, i had four. >> and where are they now? >> they're grown. they live down south. i never used drugs when i was pregnant. >> at 41, this mother of four says she's been out on the streets for about a year and admits her addiction to crack leaves her powerless to change. >> i would do it but i just can't hardly. i don't want to go to jail or rehab is redundant, but i just can't seem to get -- i can't seem to get over the hump.
