detective's attention well explain to me what these that doesn't mean i mean it's i'm seeing the 1st time some of you don't know what. if you have to. earn. their property. 30 people to know that's who you're with. what about the crown. you know who we know that's with us now for him to like. that's who they were for the crowd he's up there so if it was just this is common practice among pimps they brand their girls like cattle. pimp is called shy city meaning ruthless. and the whole dizzy 20 someone to them he just turned 20. this is all. there is only. 10000 girls here with the general because they were watching the ground and they found i for growth in the house now many girls do you

think yes he had time. to tell. the same about the baby what. it is you know. will change by choice you have my 1st now our 4th grade new tell me he also focused on and learning off. the police officers now want to know how much money danielle is earning. well much as he made it over to and in 2 weeks we use it all week data we don't need you tell me it make $10000.00 and all you know is hair and nails and food there isn't that upset you that you're working so hard you're putting your life in danger for somebody who's promising you i don't know what that's where my frustration comes at

despite danielle's statement police are unable to arrest show. the teen claims she is no longer working for. about one of my thoughts and because i had just left the hospital. she's working for herself now i think she i can just get up and get out of it if they think there is that they. 'd don't 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. being pregnant. oh my. god 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. at l.a.p.d. headquarters aaron has been given daniel's case he knows this girl very well as he put her 1st pin behind bars. interest so this is mr. he was convicted. for the rest of it

2070. 1 so he will do this 5 years and he will be able to be released sometime in 2022. thanks to danielle's tattoo and the information on her cell phone erin and his colleagues sami have confirmed the identity of her new trafficker. rational in its effort in the case. consistent with the best educated. honor and. his criminal record is already pretty full. as from a history. arrest for robbery fasts or burglary yes for a felony arrest in the past and actually all the area yes war. the man is around 21 years old their text conversations clearly show the nature of their relationship and. anything you do for so he's telling her that she

appreciates everything that she does for him and he is reframe himself as daddy which is our number one to. so he wants to know where she is why you're not responding when the. 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 on line 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 underage victims since it was created 3 years ago after putting in dunn yos phone number 3 ads appear. they sound. i found are.

they some of those pictures of her are also on. first in good evidence for some. good job so she posted her average joe when it's all my. name all all me 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 girl who's under the age of 18 on an average night for most of our growth if they're working just the streets in los angeles they make anywhere between a $11500.00 per night 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 pregnant. by having unprotected sex sex workers are at

risk of catching sexually transmitted diseases shockingly despite all of the evidence build up against them police officers are still unable to arrest done. the young woman deny still working with them probably because she fears the repercussions they can she is ongoing. in 2018 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 are there for him an airy fairy no mr mcconnell wants it. to be thought to be 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. is this. this is. your only authorized to film sammy's questioning it's a crucial testimony for the prosecution in this case and she says she's rich. merchants are she said. she said she. didn't. see any money over there and. the judge will now give his ruling.

proves. this man will be charged with human trafficking with. seeing 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 the 35 years and 8 months to prison which i shall be 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 young girls from falling back into prostitution and tear them away from their pimps police officers rely on the help of former victims of sex trafficking.

teco was a prostitute on the streets of l.a. during her teenage years it's a possibility that she might have a pm but she is wrapping heads but she's not really being cooperative so what i'll do i'll contact after today i think that sounds very promising i don't see yeah yeah hopefully on our end t.k. is part of the charity journey out which is made up of former trafficking victims she comes several times a week and talk 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 that 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 special. 30 years old it's

a miracle that has survived growing up in los angeles she was raise. a mother suffering from depression and a violent father who was addicted to crack cocaine at 12 years old after running away from her 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 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 the 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 drive walking around

the streets 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 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.

just silly that get a list of all the. people i want to make i wonder why it's like you know. how lucky. we hope to be but there are some friends that the us are still stuck but they're still hoping to do something this year. which. they have a lot that this is the alan ball that i was able to put them on that that you know

about and that. it 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 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 and wanted someone to look at the young as possible so i started to go to figure our what track of famous track and 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. that many 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 a. 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 get dropped off by men who pretty much run them and we call them because they need 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 intersection. so they stay out here because they have the western corridor which is to the east and then say go which is farther west point. and don't use both this 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 park and i just want to. go on the album art. 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 someone else driving around with she made concept and had some sense and once she got in and did i think it's not uncommon 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. this in 5. different. was. always a both is a very. if young woman however gives a completely different story. that it's a hard. thing i said.

when the searching the prostitute police find several condoms in an inner bro. 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. and they have right now basically just supervise dennis and camping supervising the female that she is ok and taken a 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 we're driving. her supervisor or pimp has definitely just dropped her. further away from the scene surgeon laurie oakes thinks he spotted a suspicious vehicle. frequency. and peer institute in a dodge magnetic area a boy link an ex-girlfriend to sears in missouri watching the whole time he took his 1st girl down and he is now going northbound on western and the number 18 number to leave. me here and stop at the stop sign that is to check the little but

when we get units to take this guy down. i show it up a little. at the santa monica and try light western at santa monica on a dam for the east coast fun of your name taken down. 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. he's. a lot of fun. no one wants to sue me to believe he's really you know. she just got to move record. 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 they didn't get it so now we've got them all think 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. started doing this you know. is very sort of the wrong dog to to stare right there was your beer spoke in a certain i want to say something to your marriage you know marriage is you're warm enough you know you're serious i'm sure or me in. the mirror was so but you're doing. your prayer to this vote is this. going to be you know i mean it was but this is part.
