Thanks to danielles tattoo and the information on her cellphone erin and his colleague sami have confirmed the identity of her new trafficker. Rational in its have a. Face. Consistent with the best educated yet on and. His criminal record is already pretty full. As human history. Arrests for robbery fasts or burglary.

Anything you do for daddy so hes telling her that she appreciates everything that she does for him and he is refrain himself daddy which is our number one term.

First in good at sports and thats a good job so she posted her average joe when its all my. Name 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 grows under the age of 18 on an average night for most of our growth if theyre working just the streets in los angeles they make anywhere between that alvin and a few 100. 00 per night thats 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 fetishes are pretty women is the fact that they dont have to or a condom because a girls already pregnant so they dont they cant have it. 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 danielles pimp the young woman deny still working with him probably because she fears the repercussions they can 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.

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 now. Were only authorized to film sammys questioning its a crucial testimony for the prosecution in this case. And she says shes changed. Her as she said. As she said. Money over there 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 get there 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 sami and his 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. Kiko was a prostitute on the streets of l. A. During her teenage years its a possibility that she might have a. She is rapping heads but shes not really being cooperative so what ill do ill contact actor today i think that sounds very promising ill 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 theyre like theyre willing to listen and i always tell them its 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 theres no reason or a way that they couldnt do it because i dont want a special. 30 years old its 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 strangers 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 because i was being raped at the time eventually managed to get away she spent. Hes wandering the streets alone. At that time i was suicidal i didnt 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 anyones 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 youve done it before now you can do it again under. Without 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. Was a pandemic no certainly no borders im just blind to nationalities. You. Know so much. We dont look like she. Needs to be. Judged as commentary crisis that is listening to. Us we can do better and we should. Everyone is contributing each of our own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges create the response has been much so many good people are helping us. It makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. We go to work some straight home. Or chico was only 12 years old her abuser didnt sell or on the streets and she was scared of the police instead she would be sent to motels or the customers 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 wasnt as physically mature and wanted someone to look at the young as possible so i started to go to figure our which was 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 cant imagine any children because of the. Because of the stuff that ive been through. Its 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 im able to give to other people and other children and i probably wouldnt be able to do the work that i do the way that i do it if i did have children so its a hard pill to swallow. If its up. 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 targeting 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 camps 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 intersections. So they stay out here because they have the western corridor which is to the east and then figo up which is farther west. And then at the used both of us 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. Know im a in a bar and i just want to know. What youre going to come home 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 days now driving around she made cars have done had some sense unless she got into it. But its not common for a female to be picked up by 2 males and. Its a safety issue for that. The driver is saying that the girl is his cousin and hes dropping her home after a family get together. To see if i. Was able to visit. The young woman however gives a completely different story. Its hard. To. Say i was. Present. When the searching the prostitute police find several condoms in an inner bra. In the mans 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 what they have right now basically is a supervisor i said if you think that supervising the female that she is ok. And taken to 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 a specific rule of each person. Sergeant continues his patrol. Another young woman has just been arrested in a street adjacent to western avenue. Her supervisor or pimp has definitely just dropped. Further away from the scene surgeon laurie oakes thinks he spotted a suspicious vehicle. Hailed the frequency at the. Pier institute in a dodge magnum i think theres a boiling connection or all through this years show watching the whole time he took his 1st girl down and he is now going northbound on western and the number one made number to leave. Me here and stop at the stop sign that is. So let me get units to take this guy down. Show you know what at santa monica and tried my western at santa monica all right hes going front of your name taking it out. After being cheated the driver pulls over and doesnt resist. Why. 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 him like a sort of a signal like dont say nothing and dont speak and then he gave me the i which training and experience of so much time on the job i know what that means hes involved. In his trunk the police find items that leave no doubt about his activities. There are a lot of fun. No one wants to see me please let us. See just the director to be so. Were 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 ive been in there with is a deal together so now weve gotten all the up together so now the investigation begins about Human Trafficking. This respected pimp is taken to the Police Station despite the evidence he is denying everything he insists that he doesnt know the young woman. Started doing this you know. It is very sort of the road god chooses terror there was. A little search for there was a series of. Your marriage you know. Is your warm enough you know you say some to warm in. The mirror was richard doing. Work for kate there are this. Is this. Very you normally do in the store but this is your girl where it. Would. Appear the operation has been a success for Sergeant Laurie house pimping is punishable by 6 years in prison this man who had 2 girls under his control was there for at risk of 12 so yes always always found learning together we called her phone this phone answers what her id was and her car was in his car so we know theres stuff going on im going to wait hes going to go down for at the very least supervise their trust to show no lawyers at the very highest can be defeated. In 2018 more than 106 traffickers were arrested by the l. A. P. D. This morning on simple vito boulevard a corner that is rife with prostitution journey out the organization that supports victims in the legal sex industry has organized its annual march tika the former prostitute is one of the protesters. Behind the age of 14 i have worked this near the street so they have found a lot under each girls inbuilt one just very blah on the theory one or so thats the reason why we make sure that we think how much said the women that have. Victimized in this area to let each traffickers know that were not going to take any more laugh like tikka several of the women here have been forced into prostitution during their teen years. Theyve come today to tell their story. So listen to me truth ive heard some people say. Its up to you because its my life its not. My mother she told me i was 14 when she told me to go and full disclosure this woman that i would like to try to be a woman who used to still working and one pool still the most elemental. As a whole slew of. Thank you. Despite the efforts made by authorities the sexual trafficking of minors continues to grow in the United States. And the most economically powerful country in the world and estimated that 300000 children are involved in sexual slavery. But i think we need to come just get back to realizing that modern medicine as some great things but actually when it comes to what has increased our Life Expectancy in the last 550 years most of these be Public Health you know modern medicine can be attributes to maybe 3 and office 5 year. Over any. 40 years in the last century in arts and thats again something that people prefer im quite surprised or shocked to. Read. The whole chances he will ban the chinese video sharing app and take top from operating in the us passes fellow republicans worry beijing could use it to meddle in americas upcoming president ial election. And just as dumb hope toast lockdown life was coming back to normal Prime MinisterBoris Johnson has delayed the easing of coronavirus restrictions in england citing an uptick in new cases in the World Health Organization warns this is no time for complacency people saw you know lockdowns over that it was somehow go away and unfortunately thats not the case why you cant transmission anywhere is potentially everywhere.
