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 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. they we're there for him an airy fairy no mr mcconnell wants it. to be true god said he tried. to see

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 pretty 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. but she is rapping hits but she's not really being cooperate so what i'll do i'll contact after today i think that sounds very promising i'll see here 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 tucks 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 those see 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. 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 blacked out and. next thing i know i was waking up in the 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. that someone would eventually. 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 as long as you do what i tell you to do i will have that. when you look. you know it's it's been 153 years since emancipation when you look at it's been 400 years right since black people have been in the u.s.

and extracting their labor for the construction of the country and then you think that black people on about 2 percent of us well in a disproportionately high is category almost everything that's negative i just don't see that that i don't see how anybody anywhere it could find that as as a with. secret prisons and usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived we've been busy roads on the way to view houses were. preserved were located and the only. access to the story from investigators covered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. you graded nor been. some sort of p.c. maybe a sore knee sort of. thing for justice. who

was only 12 years old her abuser didn't sell around the streets as he was scared of the police instead she would be sent to motels or the customer's home or 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 that 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 hormones 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. 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 up 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 say go out which is farther west. and then i don't use both of us back and forth and this is where they treat women we are going to go with sergeant 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 street in a park and i just want to know. to go on the market now and you know i'm home just a few streets away his colleagues have just stopped a prostitute who is getting into a car with 2. and in the front both the woman and the 2 individuals are arrested for sergeant this is unusual and they have 0 days now is driving around

she made contact with don had some sense unless 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. this is a digital for somebody to do for. god i. was able to visit a very. young woman however gives a completely different story. i. think i was. present. when the searching the prostitute police find several condoms in an inner bra.

in the man's car they find bundles of dollar bills and 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 that they have right now basically is possibly a supervisor i decided to think that supervising a female that she is ok and then take it at 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. sergeant larry yost continues his patrol. another young woman has just been arrested in

a street adjacent to western avenue. right here in. her supervisor or pimp has definitely just dropped. further away from the scene surgeon laurie is thinks he spotted a suspicious vehicle. frequency at the. pier institute in the dodge magnum i think there. are all through 6 years 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. when we get units to take this guy down.

involved. in his trunk the police find items that leave no doubt about his activities. there are a lot of fun to. go with interest in the other people's ladles. see just the fact that he be so. we're getting. closer ching 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 has a deal together so now we've gotten all the up together so now the investigation begins about human trafficking. to suspect and pimp is taken to the police station despite the evidence he is denying everything he insists that he doesn't know the
