frustration comes out despite danielle's statement police are enabled to arrest shy stevie the teen claims she is no longer working for him by this. book i thought because i had just left the house which i thought oh she's working for herself now i think she i can just get up and get out of it if that i think because i think there are things that they've. 'd done you know has been in a foster home since the age of 13 and her mother left her and her father is a violent and in drug addict after running away she ended up in the hands of her 1st pin the 1st child she had with her pimp was placed in care she never saw it again she's now only 16 years old but already expecting her 2nd child. with

the soon to be pregnant. good ok. she will be taken by social services who will try to help her out of this vicious cycle of sexual slavery her cell phone is confiscated detectives will analyze it to get more information on her pimp. and tell e.p.d. headquarters aaron has been given danios case he knows this girl very well as he put her 1st been behind bars.

if you're iest so this is mr. he was convicted. for the rest 2070. and so he will do is 5 years and he will be able to be released sometime in 2022. thanks to dan yost had to and the information on her cellphone erin and his colleague sami have confirmed the identity of her new trafficker. rational it's evident in the face of the consistent with the best educated yet on and. his criminal record is already pretty full. as human history. arrests for robbery fasts or burglary. he has 4 felony arrests in the past and usually only area yes war. the man is around 21 years old their text conversations clearly show the nature of their relationship.

anything you do for daddy so he's telling her that she appreciates everything that she does for him and he is refrain himself daddy which is our number one term. so he wants to know where she is why you're not responding when. very common term they never call by the 1st name they don't call him by their street names in the 1st on. the. air and now wants to know if her pimp has posted online to sell danielle services for this he uses spotlight and online database that groups together sex ads from across the country this software was created by a charity that fights against the sexual exploitation of children and has identified. over 10000 under-age victims since it was created 3 years ago after putting in dunn ios phone number 3 ads appear. they sound. i found are.

they some of those pictures are are also on. first in good at sports and that's a good job so she posted her ever tell you when it's all my. name all it all new baby pimps tend to exploit minors more as they bring in a lot more money some of them are even willing to be even more money if they know that they have a grows under the age of 18 on an average night for most of our growth if they're working just the streets or us angeles they make anywhere between $15000.00 per night and that's anywhere between probably 5 and 10 different clients or are johns per night so you have men who are purposely looking for pregnant women the reason why they are one of their fetish is pretty women is the fact that they don't have to or a condom because the girls who are pregnant so they don't they can't have it. by

having unprotected sex sex workers are at risk of catching sexually transmitted diseases shockingly despite all of the evidence build up against him police officers are still unable to arrest danielle's pimp the young woman deny still working with him probably because she fears the repercussions big cash is ongoing. in 2013 police officers in the human trafficking unit dealt with 76 cases of sexual exploitation of a female minor which led to 40 arrests. to make sure the traffickers are sentenced and end up behind bars aaron and sammy often have to make witness statements during hearings at the courthouse. today we hear from him an airy fairy no mr mcconnell wants it. to be true thoughts. trying. to see

how. the judge wants to hear testimonies from all parties the 4 victims as well as the accused wearing the blue jumpsuit they will all be questioned by the prosecution. issues. regarding. this issue. we are only authorized to film sammy's questioning it's a crucial testimony for the prosecution in this case as she heard that she changed . her as she said. as she said. money over there and. the judge will now give his ruling.

proves. this man will be charged with human trafficking with increasing sentences in force here in the united states he could spend a lot of time behind bars something sammy is reassured about the case will move forward to try and ease the tension it can get there 35 years and 8 months to prison. i felt really comfortable because i knew that i was talking about the truth and what i was told by these victims. in 2018 erin sami and his colleagues succeeded in sending 12 sexual traffickers to prison. to prevent young girls. as from falling back into prostitution and to tear them away from their pimps police officers rely on the help of former victims of sex

trafficking. kiko was a prostitute on the streets of l.a. during her teenage years it's a possibility that she might have. but she is rapping hits but she's not really being cooperate so what i'll do i'll contact actor today i think that sounds very promising i'll see yeah yeah hopefully on our it. is part of the charity journey out which is made up of former trafficking victims she comes several times a week and talks to the women in their cells about her personal experiences to help get them off the streets but when i disclose that i used to be in the life myself they're like they're willing to listen and i always tell them it's the very easy to change something that has been a part of you since you were a child. but i let them know that if i can do it then there's no reason or

a way that they couldn't do it because i don't want a special. 30 years old it's 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. said 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 eventually managed to get away she spent. he's 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 drive walking around the streets in a middle of night that someone would eventually abducted me and take my life she ended up under the control of a pimp who took advantage over vulnerable state and he says oh well you've done it before now you can do it again under. without 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.

go to work. straight home. chose seemed wrong. roles just don't hold. anything that you get to shape out does day become educated and in gains from it equals betrayal. when something a find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. how can you explain love i've been to 82 countries i did intro but i came here only in those 3 days i just hope. on the. sick show. i made my decision to come here because 'd i felt i knew i could build

a new life you. know think of what is and. go as a free man. decided that this money is no good to be free. my one dream is that all my children 'd find the same kind of happiness i do. i love my home i love cold weather i like the culture i like the history like everything about it. but the. russian fall. was only 12 years old her abuser didn't solar on the streets and she was scared of the police instead she would be sent to motels or the customer's home. deal 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. physically mature but wanted someone to look at the young as possible so i started to go to figure our which was 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 many children because of that. because of the stuff that i've been through. it's very. art for me to. get out of 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 if it's up. 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 meet their supervisors or pimps and they are the ones who pretty much stick with these women and put them on the street to work and they take the money from them. the supervisor oversees dropping off and watching the girls who are working the street the 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 up. which is farther west. and i don't use both is 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 sit. in a bar and i just want to know. what you're going to come home just a few streets away his colleagues have just stopped a prostitute who is getting into a car with 2 men in the front both the woman and the 2 individuals are arrested for sergeant this is unusual and they have 0 these now driving around she made concept and had some fits and once she got in and did. but it's not common for a female to be picked up by 2 males and i. think it's a safety issue for that. the driver is saying that the girl is his cousin and he's

dropping her home after a family get together. to see if i. was able to visit a. theme woman however gives a completely different story. it's a hard. thing i said. when searching the prostitute police find several condoms in an inner brah. in the man's car they find bundles of dollar bills an empty alcohol bottle and boxes of pills they also find the same brand of condom as the girl sergeant laurie

oakes concludes that the evidence is overwhelming for these 2 guys. they have right now basically supervising dennis and camping supervising the female that she is ok and taken to different locations that are managed by somebody else which of. the 3 suspects are placed into the cars they will head to the police station where detectives will attempt to clarify the specific rule of each person. sergeant continues his patrol. another young woman has just been arrested in a street adjacent to western avenue where your id. her supervisor or pimp has definitely just dropped her off got.

further away from the scene surgeon laurie is thinks he spotted a suspicious vehicle. frequency at the. pier institute in a dodge magnum i think they're. watching the whole time we took his 1st girl down and he is now going northbound on western and the number one number 2 lane. main here stop at the stop sign that is. when we get units to take this guy down. to show you know what at the santa monica at trial i western at santa monica all right he's going front of your name taking it out.

after being chased the driver pulls over and doesn't resist. the law. he was there he backed up watch this the whole time doing it and as we were driving off he was looking to make sure if she was looking so he gives it like a sort of a signal like don't say nothing and don't speak and then he gave me the eye which training and experience of so much time on the job i know what that means he's involved. in his trunk the police find items that leave no doubt about his activities. there are a lot of fun. no one wants to see me please let us. see just the

director to be so. we're getting. closer to the car they find the i.d.'s of 2 young girls one of them belongs to the blonde girl who was arrested earlier. now we also found the girls i've been in there with is a did together so now we've got him all going up together so now the investigation begins about human trafficking. the suspected pimp is taken to the police station despite the evidence he is denying everything he insists that he doesn't know the young woman.

norris's started doing this you know. is very stiff the road dog chooses to stare at their water at their disposal in a series but i want to say something to your mitt you know images you're warm enough you know you're serious i'm sure or many in. the mirror was richard doing. work for kate this. is this is. very very good you normally do in the story but this is your girl mort 000000. 000000 fear the operation has been a success for sergeant laurie house pimping is punishable by 6 years in prison this man who had 2 girls under his control was there for at risk of 12 so yeah we found our being together we called her phone this phone answers what her i.d. was and her car was in his car so we know there's stuff going on i do way he's

going to go down for at the very least supervise their prostitution no later at the very highest can be defeated. in 2018 more than 106 traffickers were arrested by the l.a.p.d. . 6 this morning on simple vidoe boulevard a corner that is rife with prostitution journey out the organization that supports victims in the legal say. it's industry has organized its annual march. the former prostitute is one of the protesters. man made up 14 i might have

worked this near a street so they have found a lot under aged girls in the one to scary block on the scary corner so that's the reason why we make sure that we pay homage to the women that have been victimized in this area and to let trapper chris know that we're not going to take it any more . mike tika several of the women here have been forced into prostitution during their teen years. they've come today to tell their stories. so listen to me the truth that. come before they say. it's a t.v. because it's not play like it's not the play mother she told me i was 14 when she told me go and full disclosure this moment that i would like to try to be a madam over minutely silicon valley and likely will still have the most elemental

jews as a whole soul stay safe thank you. despite the efforts made by authorities the sexual trafficking of minors continues to grow in the united states. and the most economically powerful country in the world it's estimated that 300000 children are involved in sexual slavery. it's. something before they got into small.

if you want to know. truth. then we have to have a. government by a small group. rather than revolutionaries all soldiers small groups the corporations when you have a tiny people who have all the power you have to have some means to make sure the rest of us don't get together and take it back. these are sacrificing. places that capitalism exploited and destroyed for profit and left behind misery poverty environmental devastation and so you see things like voter suppression building more prisons you seem gerrymandering all sorts of undemocratic practices. in the world.
