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. chico 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 yeah yeah hopefully on 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 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 t.k. 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. and 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 a middle and i that someone would eventually 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 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. and.

the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. here to ask. who was only 12 years old her abuser didn't sell or on the streets and she 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 youngest possible so i started to go to. figo r. 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 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 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 busy 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 intersections. so they stay out here because they have the western corridor which is to the east and then say go which is farther west. and use both. back and forth and this is where they treat women we are going to do it sergeant laurie is on the lookout for any unusual behavior coming from drivers in fact

have been now basically a supervisor at this and if you think that supervising the film of the show 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 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. her supervisor or pimp has definitely just dropped a gun. further away from the scene surgeon laurie oakes thinks he spotted
