10:41 pm
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 so 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. 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 the strange place full of pain
10:42 pm
because i was being raped at the time venture we managed to get away she spent. he's wandering the streets alone. at that time i was suicidal i don'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 a 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 a little bit more guidance and you know and as long as you do what i tell you to do i will have to meet you. i think we need to kind of just get back to realizing that modern medicine has a few some great things but actually when it comes to what has increased our life expectancy we're getting also in the last 550 years most of these be public health
10:43 pm
10:44 pm
tika 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 customer's home or 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 in that they wanted someone that wasn't as 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
10:45 pm
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 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.
10:46 pm
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
10:47 pm
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 say go out which is farther west. and then i don't use both is back and forth and this is where they treat women we are going to go with sergeant laurie oh she 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'm not going to go on a. and i don't want. to go on the market. just a few streets away his colleagues have just stopped a prostitute who is getting into
10:48 pm
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 these males driving around she made cars. don had some sense and once she got an idea. that it's not common for a female to be picked up by 2 males and. 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. he did this in fun. i . was able to visit a. young woman however gives a completely different story. i.
10:49 pm
think i was. present. when searching the prostitute police find several condoms in an inner bra. 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 female that she is ok and then taken a different locations that are managed by somebody gets tricky 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.
10:50 pm
