a miracle that has survived growing up in los angeles she was raised by a mother suffering from depression and a violent father who was addicted to crack cocaine and 12 years old after running away from home she agreed to get into a stranger's car. that he noticed that i was nervous and he offered me some marijuana i tried it for the 1st time and i i passed out or blacked out and. next thing i know i was waking up in this strange place full of pain because i was being raped at the time and that i would come to i would. you know scream for help or scream to let me go and i will be punched in the face repeatedly when i would. you know yell and the beatings and the rapes continued for probably about 2 weeks. then surely managed to get away she spent days

wandering the streets alone. at that time i was suicidal i didn't want to live anymore so i knew the longer i stayed in the streets so it would take my life i knew that hopping into anyone's car walking around the streets a medal and i that someone would eventually me and take my life. under the control of a pimp who took advantage of her vulnerable state and he says oh well you've done it before now you can do it again under. with with a little bit more guidance and you know as long as you do what i tell you to do i will have to be you.

emily don't. let them know. that that. is your media a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being that. direct. what is true what is faith.

in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a mate in the shallowness. who was only 12 years old her abuser didn't sell around the streets and she was scared of the police instead she would be sent to motels or the customers home her ordeal would last 2 years. one guy told me that i was too i was too old i was probably about 14 years old at the time so obviously they were and that they wanted someone that wasn't as physically mature and wanted someone to look at the young as possible so i started to go to figure our what was. track a famous track in los angeles and i started to work on the streets. for 4 years

it was passed from one pimp to another around 10 in total she managed to get away by leaving california and finding love however her years of prostitution were so violent that her body has been left permanently damaged i can't have any children because of that. because of the stuff that i've been through. it's very hard for me to. get out because my harmonise are telling me that i need to reproduce but at the same time i see what i'm able to give to other people and other children and i probably wouldn't be able to do the work that i do the way that i do it if i did have children so it's a hard pill to swallow but it's it's up to. the reason so many women are falling into the hands of pimps is probably because in the us pimping has now entered

popular culture. pimps are appearing more and more on social media they show off their new recruits and tattoo their name on them to show that they are their property. tonight the hollywood vice squad are leading an operation that is turning getting sex traffickers sergeant laurie oakes has been in the squad for 13 years and knows their techniques well. these women get dropped off by men who pretty much run them and we call them because they need their supervisors or pen. and they are the ones who pretty much stick with

these women and put them on the street to work 'd and they take the money from them . the supervisor oversees dropping off and watching the girls who are working the street they also collect the money to give to the pin in general they hide in darker side streets close to the intersections. so they stay out here because they have the western corridor which is to the east and then say go out which is farther west. and use both. back and forth and this is where they treat women we are going to go with sergeant laurie is on the lookout for any unusual behavior coming from drivers in fact prostitutes are often followed from a distance by their supervisor or pimp to protect them. go for it i. don't want. to go on the album are you. just
