a grows under the age of 18 on an average night for most of our growth if they're working just the streets for once angeles they make anywhere between $11500.00 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 get the are pregnant. 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 dunya as 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. these issues. this is. your only authorized to film sammy's questioning

it's a crucial testimony for the prosecution in this case. she says she's rich. merchants are she said. she said you should. change. my name over there now 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 at their 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 sammy and his colleagues succeeded in sending 12 sexual traffickers to prison. to prevent a young girl. 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 heads but she's not really being cooperative so what i'll do i'll contact actor today i think that sounds very promising i'll see you yeah hopefully in our t.k.

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 within those 6 no reason or a way that they couldn't do it because i don't want 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 do. 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 or metal and i that someone would eventually abducted me and take my life she ended up 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 that out with a little bit more guidance and you know as long as you do what i tell you to do i

will have to beat you. down in the end by north some of the people because a cop beat him is so good that even such

a bad cop be sending. i'm not sure he would be. killed to find the next guy. live on the indian done deal fell to feed the dogs. even the attempt. to deflect some of the c.e.o. if they do the deflection board is happy to say. that is a good bet that i got out of many observers. that i'm going to going to write about that on the board. that you can bank on. a long long while and then you know on the bottom there's

a bonus feature live unquenchable can not all. and a one person and they have today $100.00 gandhi the new normal and going to run the place. to go to you then go to mock you then a game and join you. the world is driven by shaped by one person. thinks. we dare to ask. who was only 12 years old her abuser didn't show around the streets and she was

scared of the police instead she would be sent to motels or the customer's 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. i was physically mature but wanted someone to look at so 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 imagine any children because of that. because of the stuff that i've been through.

it's very hard for me to. you know 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 u.s. 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 did. 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 they also collect the money to give to the pin in general they hide in darker side streets close to the intersection. so they stay out here because they have the western corridor which is to the east and then

in the man's car they find bundles of dollar bills an empty alcohol bottle and boxes of pills which they also find the same brand of condom as the girl sergeant laurie oakes concludes that the evidence is overwhelming for these 2 guys. and what they have right now basically is a supervisor and this and them being the supervising the feel now that she is ok and taken a different locations that are managed by somebody else which will be. the 3 suspects are placed into the cars they will head to the police station where detectives will attempt to clarify the specific role of each person. sergeant continues his patrol. another young woman has just been arrested in a street adjacent to western avenue where your id.
