>> annie says she herself was once a house girl for a major las vegas casino. when a big-spending guest requested a prostitute, annie would get a call from the contact. the $7,000 fee would be split down the middle, half for annie and half for the casino. >> i used to work this town if you know what i'm saying. >> reporter: a as the group is about to call it a night, a young girl catches annie's eye. >> i'm a stripper. >> please be careful. i had a pimp and everything, girl. trust me. >> i have seen it firsthand. they are very aggressive out here. >> how old are you? >> 21. >> i remember when i was 21. you could be my daughter. >> she said she was 21 and a stripper but she had tattoos, brandings, pimp branding all over her body. >> call us if you need anything. >> okay. >> that's our message, hey you are not alone and we understand because we have been sex trafficked too.

annie's idyllic childhood, however, things at home were not always so peaceful. annie said her father was a restless, angry man, given to unexpected fits of rage who often lashed out at his family. >> it was not the most pleasant marriage. >> we feared him losing it. we feared him having breakdowns. we feared him losing control of his temper. >> he'd haul off and hit me. kids seen that. >> at 17, craving her independence and freedom from the turmoil at home, she packed her bags and headed for the big city of minneapolis. >> i wanted a nice car. i wanted a beautiful home. i wanted beautiful clothes that i never had. >> it wasn't long before she and an under-aged girl met a pair of men at a minneapolis bar. the men wowed them with their rolex watches, designer suits and fat wallets.

>> walked in to the club and these men were at the bar than bought us drinks and think guy she ended up being with was a pimp. >> annie's friend was swept off her feet and in no time left with the pimp to hawaii. within a few weeks, she convinced annie to come for a visit. >> the first night that i went to hawaii i sold myself willingly with her. >> for annie, this was the first step in to a decade-long nightmare of prostitution. her story is not uncommon. the fbi identified minneapolis as one of the major hubs of child prostitution in the country. >> it's a recruiting ground. >> poppy wellman said she was just 15 when she was recruited at her after-school job in brooklyn park, minnesota. >> two girls kept coming in and they said would you like to hang out and i'm looking at their clothes and the car and i'm like, yeah. >> like annie, poppy grew up in an abusive home making her vulnerable to the girl's false

proz positive / promises of a more glamorous life but i the girls believed to be her new friends were prostitutes who were out recruiting young women for their pimp. >> we ended up at this apartment and a couple of hours later here comes this man and they say this is our man. and he's -- they are like you want to choose? do you want to be down? >> reporter: poppy said she was turned out on the street. there her pimp forced her to have sex with strangers for cash. >> if people don't think that it could happen to their children, they are wrong. >> recent studies of trafficking in the twin cities reveal a well-organized network. much like the slave days of old, the human product is acquired, shipped out and distributed along well-developed channels. poppy wellman said she was trafficked across the great plains and eventually taken to las vegas where she was sold as an escort.

>> we went all over. i was in the summer at st. paul, nebraska, north dakota, south dakota, minot, aberdeen. >> she was working at a strip club in minneapolis when she met the man show she thought would be the love of her life. >> he walked in and it was many like my denzel washington came to rescue me. >> reporter: instead of being her safe orr, she said the man became her abuser. the charming man turned sadistic and violent on the first day he sold annie as a prostitute in vegas when i told him i'm not giving you anything he proceeded to shove my face in to dog feces and said this is pimping, bitch. you have to submit to me. >> reporter: annie said every episode of extreme violence was immediately followed by demonstrations of love and promises of a better future. >> baby, we're going to get out of this lifestyle. we're going to be multibillionaires, millionaires. we're going to be the top genre of society.

but you have to work hard so we can get there first. >> poppy wants the public to understand that being a working girl in vegas is sheer torture. >> you take the risk of going to jail. you take the risk of not walking out of that room. your family disowning you, not wanting to talk to you. you take all of the risks, and they take none. they take none. they get all -- they get all of the reward. they get the money. ♪ >> reporter: it's a reality, poppy says, that is invisible to the public and to the partying clients who buy in to the fantasy of the happy hooker. ♪ >> we should get grammys and oscars for the best acting. it's a facade. we're just trying to put on that so we can make more money. and inside we're just crumbling. >> let's go through a typical night.

i leave my house. i'm all dressed up. it is 8:00, 9:00 at night, i have to work a 12-hour shift or maybe 24 hours because if my pimp tells me i have to make 2,000, 5,000, i have to make that quo to. i leave the house with $10 for condoms. i have a dollar for one of those mcdonald's burgers and i that's my dinner. i get a call from my escort can agency to go though mirage and go to the mirage and my phone girl tells me that sends me out on my calls it's a busy night. i have 15 calls after this. my phone girl talks to my pimp. so my pimp knows i have 15 calls. he tells her keep her busy, keep her moving. this night in particular, there's a bunch of bachelor parties. within those 15 calls there's ten clients in each party. at the entire time iej smiling and laughing, and i've got the fakest personality on inside of

me, but the entire time i know every single dollar i collect i give to my escort service and phone girl and the rest to my pimp and i don't keep anything. all the while, i come home, and he wants to have sex with me. but i'm hurting so bad that i'm in the shower and i'm trying to wash myself off and it hurts so bad that the rest of the week with all i can do is give hand jobs and blow jobs because my vagina is sliced in half. is that the lifestyle that you want to buy? because that's what happens to all a of us. >> having endured a decade of daily physical and psychological abuse, annie says she turned to drugs as a way out. she fell in to a vicious cycle of selling herself to pay for an expensive cocaine addiction. that cycle came to an abrupt halt when annie overdosed and

suffered a heart attack. >> my whole life flashed before my eyes like a movie. i was in this coffin and i was 90 pounds. skeleton. they said she was just a drug addicted prostitute. she didn't contribute anything to society. >> reporter: on the verge of death, annie said she made a promise to jesus. >> jesus, if you just give mae second chance with my life, i'll quit working. i'll quit prostituting. i'll quit doing drugs and i'll never go back to this. >> i have had so many false starts with getting my life cleaned up but there was a point in my life where i said enough is enough. >> reporter: annie said the near-death experience saved her. she went on to form a ministry and vowed to help vegas working girls leave the life. with her growing group of volume lynn tears, annie is back on the streets of vegas only now she
