00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: Nancy Grace is coming to Fox Nation. I Want Justice.

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace premieres March ninth, only on

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: Fox Nation. The US Department of Health and Human Services

4
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: estimates between two hundred and forty and three hundred and

5
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand. That's half a million to three hundred

6
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 1: and twenty five thousand children are at risk for sex trafficking.

7
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: Children who are often deemed to be quote runaways are

8
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: not runaways. They have been put into sex trafficking. Look

9
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: around you. I know it's hard to believe. When I

10
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: first heard it, I pooh pooed it myself. But it's real.

11
00:00:53,920 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: I'm sounding the alarm. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. My

12
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 1: favorite hobby are collecting porcelain nolves and playing soccer. Of course,

13
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: JS grew up in a typical middle class home with

14
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: a great family. I was a happy kid. I did sports,

15
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: played musical instruments, violin, piano. I was really kind of

16
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: like the jack of all trades, wanted to do everything.

17
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: I was really happy. At fifteen years old, she started

18
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: to fall behind in one of her classes. Scared to

19
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: show her parents her report card, she made a plan.

20
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: I ran away. I've gone on a city bus. I

21
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: never done that. I didn't even know how city busses worked.

22
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: I was like, everything's fine. She made her way to

23
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: a homeless shelter where she met a young woman who

24
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: promised to help take care of her. The two went

25
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: to a party where she was raped. Before that party,

26
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: she was a virgin. They wanted to keep my innocence

27
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: for like a special person, and like I wasn't able

28
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: to our friends at NBC. That child was then that

29
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: team girl forced into child sex trafficking. You know, when

30
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: I hear the for a sex trafficking, I think of

31
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: some foreign country, a third world nation, where children and

32
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: women don't have any rights. But that's not true. This

33
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: is happening right here in our beloved country. Michelle Terry,

34
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: who has now created a business of skincare Vegan Luxury Skincare,

35
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: and is devoting part of her profits to stop sex trafficking.

36
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: You know, it's so easy, Michelle Terry, to turn the

37
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: other way and go, oh, that's terrible, or say a

38
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: quick prayer or have a good thought. Oh you know,

39
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: I wish I could do something about it. What can

40
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: I do? Nothing? You saw the same thing that people

41
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: see and hear every day and you decided to do

42
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: something about it. Why, well, I was I was taught.

43
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: My mother raised me to always help the less fortunate

44
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: or people that are in trouble and need help. So

45
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: I don't have any daughters, I have two sons, but

46
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: I do have two granddaughters and ten nieces ten nieces,

47
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: and I couldn't imagine one of them being sex trafficked

48
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: or just kidnapped off the streets and missing forever. So

49
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: with that, you know, my family is everything to me.

50
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: And just to see the courts on TV people just

51
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: being missing, mass numbers of women and children, it just

52
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: breaks my heart. It just truly breaks my heart. So

53
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: I wanted to give back. I've always been the type

54
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: of person to give back and to help the homeless,

55
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: the less fortunate, and so I wanted to help. I

56
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: wanted to do something about this. And again, a portion

57
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: of the profits will go back to a local organization

58
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: here in Atlanta to help the girls get back on

59
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: their feet after they're rescued. And we have a lot

60
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: of nonprofit organizations here helping the children and women. You know, Michelle,

61
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: my twins are twelve, and it hurts me to say

62
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: that because I think of them as my little babies.

63
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: Some of these girls are their age when they are

64
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: sex trafficked. Daryl Cohen, you have, I know, one gorgeous girl,

65
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: and you have more at twelve to think. You know,

66
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: we weren't allowed to say this to a jury because

67
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: juries cannot be put in opening or closing arguments in

68
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: the shoes of the victim. You can't say that it's objectionable,

69
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: possibly reversible. But we're not in court. What about it,

70
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: Darryl Cohen? Can you even imagine your girl sex trafficking

71
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: fifteen men a day, raping her at that young age.

72
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: It just it makes me, It makes my stomach hurt.

73
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: Darryl Nancy. My youngest is eighteen, and yes she is

74
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: an adult as far as the law is concerned, but

75
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: she's still a kid. And then if you extrapolate and

76
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: bring her by any of the kids, any of these

77
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: young girls to eight or ten or twelve, this is

78
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: worse than a violent crime. It's insidious, it's horrendous. And

79
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: I will tell you that in my view, the penalties

80
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: are not even close to what they need to be

81
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: for these sex traffickers. And it's normally a he when

82
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: he gets or they are apprehended and prosecuted. They need

83
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: to be so violated personally, they need to have their

84
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: entire lives taken from them, and they need to be

85
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: incarcerated for the rest of their lives because what they

86
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: have done to these young girls will never ever be there,

87
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: will never be a girl again. They will always have

88
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: this in their mind. Their bodies may heal, but their

89
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: minds will never ever heal from this. It's more than

90
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: I can ever imagine. And yes, you're right. If something

91
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: happened to my girls, as much as I'm a lawyer,

92
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: as much as I'm a former prosecutor, that person or

93
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: persons better get out of the way. Listen. We took

94
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: a ride along with police. In one case, officers found

95
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: a fourteen year old sting in a vacant house. He

96
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: hadn't eaten a meal in three days. Those are the

97
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: types of kids that we're dealing with in this and

98
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: it's really sad. Once recovered, the next step is to

99
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: ask a series of questions to find out if there

100
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: were sex trafficking victims, who did they stay with, Did

101
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: somebody pay for, you know, pay for them to stay somewhere,

102
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: did they do favors for them, did they give them drugs?

103
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: Officials tell us one and six runaways get involved in

104
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: sex trafficking. By finding them and not only saves their life,

105
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: but it could lead police to the traffickers. In less

106
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: than a day long sincials recovered more than one hundred

107
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: missing kids from Wayne County. Of those, three sex trafficking

108
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: cases have opened. If we can do this more often,

109
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: hopefully we won't have this big of a problem. National

113
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: a regular person like you and me, who has taken

114
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,239
Speaker 1: it upon herself to make a difference in this world.

115
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: Michelle Terry is with me. She is a nanny and

116
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: she is now devoting part of her income to stop

117
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: child sex trafficking. Michelle Terry, tell me about your product line.

118
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: I'm really interested. I never thought I would connect skin

119
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: products to helping save children and abused women. Yes, Nancy,

120
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 1: I created this line first for women or people with

121
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: inviety and depression because of the essential oils that I

122
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: use in the product called one percent Natural, and it's

123
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: a moodlifter to help you feel better and to be

124
00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: in a happier, peaceful place. And with that, I said, know,

125
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: with this crazy world, with these kids being missing, especially

126
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: here in Atlanta, I wanted to give back. And I've

127
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: always wanted to give back with anything that I have

128
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: been affiliated with, So I decided to give a portion

129
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: of the profits. The skincare products. One is a sugar scrub.

130
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: The sugar scrub will exfoliate the dead skin off of

131
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: the body. Michelle Michelle, I had never heard of a

132
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: sugar scrub until my daughter Lucy told me about it

133
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: and tried to rub it on me, which I let

134
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: her once I knew what she was doing. And guess what, Michelle,

135
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: you inspired her because she made her own the other

136
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: night and was rubbing it on all of us. So

137
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: tell me what you've got, sugar scrub? What else are

138
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: your products? So we have the body butter. The body

139
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: butters one all natural and the scent is sandal wood,

140
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: and again it creates a half finess of well being,

141
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: feeling good. It's a creamy, rich, silky butter and you

142
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: put on top of the skin and it leaves your

143
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: skin very hydrated, hydrating and moisturizing. So you have sugar scrub,

144
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: you have body butter, and what else do you have?

145
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: I have two candles, Nancy. One is one is Lemon

146
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: grass and the other one is Patulli Vanilla must They

147
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: are very beautiful, they're well scented and there they make

148
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: really great gifts. And tell me again, how do I

149
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: find it? You can find it on Facebook, Wellness Now

Speaker 1: David Gowens is Live and Azel Tonight. David, you talk

154
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: to employees at a KFC who actually helped that young girl.

155
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: Both of them told me quote, we didn't do anything special,

156
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: but Azel police and I'd say their quick actions and

157
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: accurate suspect description helped get that girl back to safety.

158
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: Shannon Kates and Lindsay Sadio said someone walked into their

159
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: Azel KFC store before they opened Monday. She was shaking

160
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: and could barely talk. She looked up and I as

161
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 1: seking all the blood and insistant help me, please help me,

162
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: and if she kept looking and she to please help

163
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: me he's gonna get me, He's gonna find me. Please

164
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: help me. A random nexttore He's next dooor Azel police

165
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: say twenty four year old Diamond Marquise Williams met the

166
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: teenager on Snapchat and then kidnapped her from her fort

167
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: Worth home, forcing the girl to tell her parents she

168
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 1: was okay and staying with friends, and then held her

169
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: for five days. So on Monday, when Williams went inside

170
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: this pawn shop next door, the girl ran to Lindsay

171
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: and Shannon. They locked the door, called nine one one

172
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: and kept the girl closed. Diamond Woods is charged with

173
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: aggravated kidnapping and aggravated sexual assault of a child. Tonight,

174
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: the Azel police chief tells me their investigation into Williams

175
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: as far from over and that more charges are possible.

176
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: A parents' worst nightmare. A young girl meets the guy

177
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: on snapchat, is lured and held a hostage for five days,

178
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: being sex assaulted the entire time. And I'm looking at

179
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: Domy Marquis Williams, and tell you what if I saw

180
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: that in an alley, I would run the other way

181
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: much less let my children get lured in. But here's

182
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: the kicker. You don't know what's happening. It's all happening

183
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: on line. I mean, see Grace, this is crime Stories.

184
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us. You were just hearing

185
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: our friends at w FAA and Azel, Texas. That was

186
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: Cynthia Cigara and David Going. She lived thanks to Kentucky

187
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: Fried Chicken employees. They locked the doors and call nine

188
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: one one. But how many children, how many girls, how

189
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: many tweins never make it home? As a matter of fact,

190
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: take a listen to this. Investigators say this is Marillio

191
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: hernandez Vaya. Instead of being the teenager he said he was.

192
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: He's twenty seven years old and charged with raping an

193
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: eleven year old girl he met on Snapchat. Police say

194
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: hernandez Vaya went back and forth with a girl on

195
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: Snapchat for a couple of months. Then detectives say he

196
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: took an uber from Tacoma to her house in c Tech,

197
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: where he sexually assaulted her, a devastating crime. Her mom

198
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: was willing to talk to us, but asked us not

199
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: to reveal her identity. And I think he knows how

200
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: to manipulate in say the right being, twist the stories

201
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: and lie repeatedly. And there's more kids that wouldn't fall

202
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: for it, and I wouldn't want that on anybody. Investigators

203
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: say the girl's mom came home from work on August

204
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: twenty eight and found her Nande's vay hiding behind some

205
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: luggage in a bedroom. She held the door close, called

206
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: nine to one one, and waited for officers to arrest him.

207
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: I didn't want this man take advantage of my daughter

208
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: to have an opportunity to do it again, or hearn

209
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: some other way, or make life harder than it is already.

210
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: Can you even imagine coming home and there's a grown

211
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: man hiding in your home who has a lured your

212
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: eleven year old child on Snapchat, takes an uber to

213
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: the home and sex assaults the little girl. That was

214
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: our friend Alison Grande at k I R O seven

215
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: that was in c Tech, Washington. We've gone from Texas

216
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: now to Washington, your backyard maybe the next spot. Joining

217
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: me right now a colleague and a friend, the CMO

218
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: chief Marketing Officer, chief parenting Officer. I like that name.

219
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to give that name to myself. Titania Jordan. Titania,

220
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: you and I had a really long talk where I

221
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: revealed to you my love for Bark Bark as in

222
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: woof woof. It's it's what bark is. Um, it's a program.

223
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: I have it on my phone, my husband has it,

224
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: and it's connected to all my children's devices. What does

225
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: it seek to prevent? Oh, my gosh, Nancy. You know

226
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: the fact that we are able to keep over four

227
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: point two million children safer across the nation because they're

228
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: spending upwards of eight hours a day online. Whoa whoa

229
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: whoa whoa Wait wait wait wait eight hours a day online?

230
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: Wait a minute. Doctor Free has helped me out there.

231
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: You are pediatric emergency mess eight hours a day on line.

232
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: I don't think the Petty Mom podcast would like that

233
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: very much. That is not only the truth, but you

234
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: have to keep in mind that that's the average, meaning

235
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of kids who are actually spending

236
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: even more time online. So that includes after school, even

237
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: in school a lot of times, and oftentimes these kids

238
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: are spending a good portion of their night instead of

239
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: sleeping online on their phones. So yeah, it's a really

240
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: really scary number that really risks a lot of damage

241
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: to the kids in lots of different ways, even outside

242
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: of what we're talking about today. There's a lot of

243
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: repercussions to spending about much time in front of a screen.

244
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: Eight hours a day. Okay, Titania Jordan cmo at bark,

245
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I interrupted you with that. That studying number.

246
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: Eight hours a day. That's how purvs and predators are

247
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: getting them. They're on eight hours a day for Pete's sake.

248
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: Go ahead, yeah no, And I'm so thankful for doctor

249
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: free hes put putting a pin in effect. That that's

250
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: the average. They are children, they're actually online more. And

251
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: what's pretty staggering is the time that transpires for online

252
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: predators to groom shouldren. Now that used to be when

253
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: the Internet didn't exist, the relationship between pedophiles and shoulder

254
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: and it would take months sometimes to evolve into one

255
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: of danger. Now it's it's seconds, it's minutes. It goes

256
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: from a high from a man in a DM that's

257
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: a direct message to a new photo or video and

258
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: literally a listen. The common denominator in all my sextortion

259
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: child exploitation cases is that when the parent allows them,

260
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: you to chart them to charge their devices in their

261
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 1: rooms at night you're sleeping, they shut the doors so

262
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: you can't hear them. It's not a matter of talking,

263
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: it's typing, reading and performing with apps like the Chromebook

264
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: they get from school, going in again, Google Hangouts, Oovu, Omegel, Skype,

265
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: House Party. These are video chat sites that our kids

266
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: are using and there are two to six people in

267
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: that chat room while they're in their bedroom. Okay. Detective

268
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: Rich was Stocky, child crime expert present of be Sure Consulting. Ma'am,

269
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot, but you're hitting a nerve right

270
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: now with my children, my twins. Go ahead, tell me

271
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. In my career, I've arrested over

272
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: three hundred predators in my career. So when a parent

273
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: allows their child to charge their device in their rooms

274
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: at night, the child feels safe. The inhibitions are lowered,

275
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: and they feel like they can do and say anything

276
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: and nobody's going to touch them. Because when I teach

277
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: my kids, they think that the things that I'm talking

278
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: to them about happen somewhere else. Well, it doesn't. When

279
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: we talk about Fortnite, roadblocks, Minecraft games that they play,

280
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: the average Internet predator has two hundred and fifty victims

281
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: in their lifetime. They have a device in their rooms,

282
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: they know that numerous kids are doing it and they

283
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: wait till late at night for the parents go to

284
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: safe to talk to your child. I want to go

285
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: back to Tatanya Jordan's CMO, Chief Marketing Officer, Chief Parenting

286
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: Officer at BARK. How do predators get in and mate

287
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: your children on for instance, Minecraft, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok? How

288
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: does it work? To Tanya Oh, Nancy, we would need hours,

289
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: but I'll try to make it as concise as possible.

290
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 1: So many children are lonely or don't know better, or

291
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: their parents have not been comfortable enough with having those

292
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: conversations with them to let them know that these people

293
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: who you might think are your friends, you might think

294
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: are your same age online, are actually adults with bad intentions. Guys,

295
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: Nancy Grace, here we are heading straight into breaking crime

296
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 1: in justice news, But first, how can you keep yourself

297
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: and your children safe? I have investigated and prosecuted literally

298
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: thousands of felony cases. I have covered literally thousands of

299
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: cases of missing people, adults and children, unsolved homicides, violent crimes.

300
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: After all the cases, after speaking to all the victims,

301
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: all the police, all the witnesses, over years, what can

302
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 1: we do about it. I don't want to just sit

303
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: back and report on it. I want to take action.

304
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: And I know you must feel the same way. You

305
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: don't want to just hear about crime. You want to

306
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: do something about it and do something to stop it.

307
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: And here is the news. Don't Be a Victim Fighting

Speaker 1: Stories with Nancy Grace. Letty Serrano was just fifteen. She

316
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: celebrated her King Sanera in May. A typical high school

317
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: student with a loving family. She was a great girl,

318
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: good student, friendly, loved her puppies. But on Saturday, she

319
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: ended her own life, a life it turns out, was

320
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 1: not typical. Letty was a sex trafficking victim. According to

321
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 1: her loved ones, she disappeared two years ago at age thirteen.

322
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: They say she was drugged and sold and even after

323
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: they found her near the bayou at Moody Park and

324
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: brought her home. She was not the same. We got

325
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: her back damaged. Her father told us she was his life.

326
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: He's broken. She loved him, he loved her. He is destroyed.

327
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: He said it is too painful and he wants justice.

328
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: They want to raise awareness. They want people to know

329
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: how prevalent sex trafficking is in Houston. How Letty is

330
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: a cautionary tale that the pain of what happened never

331
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: goes away. I feel like I let her down. I

332
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: feel like I let her down. I don't know. I

333
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: just feel I should have. I don't know. You're hearing

334
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: Letty's godmother, Cynthia Rivera our friends at ABC thirteen Houston.

335
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: That was Tom Abraham's talking about this beautiful girl, Letty.

336
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: At age thirteen, Letty was kidnapped, drugged, and raped, and

337
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: put into sex trafficking. She was ultimately rescued, but too late.

338
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 1: At just fifteen years old, after what she had lived through,

339

Speaker 1: Letty commits suicide to Crime online dot Com investigative reporter

340
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: Levi Paige Levi, how did this little girl just thirteen?

341
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: That's only about a year and a half older than

342
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: my Lucy and John David end up drugged rate and

343
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: sold into sex trafficking in America. Yes, this is in Houston,

344
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: Texas as Nancy, and she was thirteen years old attending

345
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: Marshall Middle School and in twenty seventeen. You know, she

346
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 1: was a high achieving student, very very nice young woman,

347
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: and she ended up in sex trafficking at school. That's

348
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: where she met up with this person. And her family

349
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: found her in an abandoned home after looking for her

350
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: for days, and they say that she had never been

351
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: the same since she had been abducted, since she had

352
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: been drugged in sex traffic. Joining me right now, renowned

353
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: trial lawyer Penny Douglas for a penny, You and I

354
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: have seen it first hand. And the number one hub

355
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: for trial sex trafficking is the Atlanta Airport, the number

356
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 1: one hub in the US. Penny. People think it's not

357
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: happening here, it's happening here, It's happening everywhere. And we

358
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: have sailed as a country because she came out so damaged.

359
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: There's no fun for victims. There's no national health care

360
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: so she can go and get care. And if she

361
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 1: doesn't have any access to any kind of psychological treatment

362
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: or psychiatric treatment. It gets worse over time, it gets worse.

363
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: You can imagine how this child feels after going through that.

364
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: We have to do something to make sure we have

365
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 1: something for victims so that they can get the treatment

366
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 1: they need, Otherwise there'll be more suicide. To Adam Cheney,

367
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: co founder of Elijah Rising, you can find it at

368
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: Elijah Rising dot Org. Adam Cheney way in the guest

369
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: that just looks exactly right. This is happening everywhere. Sex

370
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: trafficking has existed in the United States forever, and we

371
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: work here in Houston and it is it's everywhere. I mean,

372
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: it's it's in every neighborhood. It looks like every demographic

373
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: in terms of age, socioeconomic status, skin tone, all the above.

374
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: And so unfortunately, Letty's story is far more common than

375
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: most people realize. And I mean, it's an epidemic. At

376
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: Elijah Rising, we say, you know, there's no such thing

377
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: as a red light district anymore. We've got red light cities,

378
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: we've got red light you know, counties. It's happening everywhere,

379
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 1: and it's tragic. It's it's absolutely tragic, and there does

380
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: need to be more outcry. There does need to be

381
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: more awareness, and that's what we're doing at Elijah Rising

382
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: is trying to do that and provide the long term

383
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: care that survivors need. Because your previous guest is exactly right.

384
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: Without long term trauma informed care in a resident based

385
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: system with professional mental health care and physical healthcare, survivors

386
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: do not have an opportunity to become whole again. It's

387
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: the biggest gap in this issue is providing that long

388
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: term traum informed care. This little girl, Leatitia, known by

389
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: her family as Letty, had just celebrated her fifth eighth

390
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: birthday party with a lavish kincinera party with a ruby

391
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: red princess ball gown, roses a dessert bar put on

392
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 1: by her family. I'm looking at the pictures of her

393
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 1: at the party right now. But then shortly after that,

394
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: Letty locked herself in the bathroom and committed suicide as

395
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: her dad desperately tried to get in touch with her

396
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: and reach her. By the time he opened the door,

397
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 1: it was too late and she died in her father's arms.

398
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: This is a direct result of her being drugged, kidnapped,

399
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: and raped at age thirteen and sold into sex trafficking

400
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: to Ashi Kelly, licensed clinical social worker whose expertise is

401
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: child abuse and sex trafficking weight in Ashley. Yeah, Unfortunately,

402
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: like the other have said, this is not uncommon. In fact,

403
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: thirteen of the average age of entry for sex trafficking

404
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: in this country, or doing a lot of research out

405
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: here in Phoenix, in Las Vegas in recreating techniques and

406
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: different things like that to try to combat and prevent

407
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: this from happening to kids like Letty. Unfortunately. Take a

408
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: listen to Voice of America's Caroline PURSUITI It started when

409
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: Kate was in the ninth grade. Her abductor, Luise, who

410
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 1: has never been charged in this case, was enrolled at

411
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: her high school. He was twenty one years old, she

412
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: was fourteen. The first thing he ever said when he

413
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 1: messaged me on Facebook, before I was high or anything,

414
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: was you have beautiful eyes. Kate fell in love. At night,

415
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: Luise would knock on her bedroom window and sneak her

416
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: out to parties. But one night she didn't come home.

417
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: I was with all these old men, but all I

418
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 1: saw was they thought I was pretty. They gave me attention.

419
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: I remember blacking out. Some things are still really blurried

420
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: to this day had lots of bruises and lots of

421
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: internal damage. Later she learned Luis was a member of

422
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: MS thirteen, a vicious Central American gang. Barely a teenager,

423
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: Kate was being drugged with heroin and PCP and sold

424
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: for sex to make money for the gang. Children across

425
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: our country being recruited, transported, harbored, used for production of

426
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: child pornography, which is traded over and over and over

427
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: on the dark Web. Then the child is put into

428
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: child trafficking. These boys and girls are traded like their

429
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: pawns for sex trafficking. The biggest child pornography ring on

430
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: the dark web has just been busted. It spans multiple countries,

431
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: South Korea, Great Breton, of course, the US. The website

432
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: was called Welcome to Video, and we know that multiple people,

433
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: potentially three hundred and thirty seven users in twelve different countries,

434
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: have been arrested now. According to court filings, Welcome to

435
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: Video's website was seized back in twenty eighteen, and then

436
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: the authorities discovered a quarter of a million unique which

437
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: means separate video files linked to keywords like pedophile. As

438
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: a result of this, twenty three children have been rescued

439
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: across the US and this is according to the Justice Department.

440
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: You wonder what's happening to these children that are taken

441
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: there go missing. You see a missing child flyer. You

442
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: never hear what happened to this one? What happened to

443
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: that one? This it's what's happening to them. Listen. She

444
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: thought she might die the one day a man took

445
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: pity on her and helped her escape. There wasn't even

446
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: time for her to put her shoes on before she

447
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: snuck out of the house and ran for her life.

448
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: She made it to a police station for help, and

449
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: officers took her to a hospital. While she escaped to

450
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: the basement. Kate did not escape prostitution. The pimp who

451
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: she had been kidnapped from, learned she was there and

452
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: took her home with him. Stories like hers are more

453
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: common than you might think here in America. It happens

454
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: to men, women, and children. The National Human Trafficking Hotline

455
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,959
Speaker 1: reports about thirteen percent of request for help come from males.

456
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: Moner Day slavery and human trafficking still exists very much

457
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: all throughout our country. In our world, cage traffickers sold

458
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: her in communities up and down the East Coast. Her

459
00:30:45,200 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: slavery ended with an arrest. In Pennsylvania Crime Stories with

460
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: Nancy Grace, we took a ride along with Pulleys and

461
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: one case, officers found the fourteen year old sting in

462
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: a vacant house. He hadn't eaten a meal in three days.

463
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: Those are the types of kids that we're dealing with

464
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: in this and it's really sad. Officials tell us one

465
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: and six runaways get involved in sex trafficking. By finding

466
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: them and not only saves their life, but it could

467
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: lead police to the traffickers. In less than a day,

468
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: Launch and Shoals recovered more than one hundred missing kids

469
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: from Wayne County. Of those, three sex trafficking cases have opened.

470
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: If we can do this more often, hopefully we won't

471
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: have this big of a problem. Well it hasn't been done.

472
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: That's w x y z TV. They're in Detroit. To

473
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: Kim Checki from the National Trafficking Sheltered Alliance, the Samaritan

474
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: Women Institute for Shelter Care. People don't believe it. It

475
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: was hard for me to accept it. It's real. It's

476
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: happening now. Hundreds of thousands of sex trafficking victims right

477
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: under our noses, and they're so afraid to say anything.

478
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: We pass them. We see them in nail salons and

479
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: massage parlors. They're they're they're on the streets. These children

480
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: were in a vacant house, hadn't eaten for three days, beaten,

481
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: Kim check. I tell me what you know. I have

482
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: the privilege of running a residential therapeutic home specifically for

483
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: sex trafficking survivors, and we worked with them in so

484
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: many different areas because the trauma that they were exposed

485
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: to affected them in every single way possible. And one

486
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: woman comes to mind. She was with two traffickers and

487
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: one of his other women defied him and so and

488
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: she kept some of the quarta, and so he shot

489
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: her right in front of the woman that we were

490
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: working with. And she said to mimas Kim, why would

491
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: I relieve? How could I run? How could I get away?

492
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: I watched them, kim her, They're going to do the

493
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: same thing to me. And so many of the women

494
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: that we've worked with, they were they met their trafficker

495
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: on social media, on Instagram, snapchat, Facebook, on dating apps,

496
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: and it wasn't that they were taken. They began to

497
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: build a relationship with this trafficker, and just like you

498
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: said earlier, it became that boyfriend experience. And they're so patient.

499
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: The traffickers are so patient because they know how much

500
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: money that thirteen year old, that fourteen year old is

501
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: going to bring in. So it's okay if he has

502
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: to be patient for a month or for two months,

503
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: because he knows she's going to become his property and

504
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: he's going to make a fortune off of her. It's

505
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: so insidious and it's hard to believe that our government

506
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: has not been able to crack down on it. This

507
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: is what I'm learning. The researchers have found that the

508
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: average age of sex trafficking victims are young teens, very

509
00:33:55,280 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: young teens. As in thirteen fourteen, fifteen age child purchased

510
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: an average of five point four times a day, Victims

511
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: interviewed forced to have sex with more than thirty men

512
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: in a week, more than one hundred in a months.

513
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 1: Adults purchasing children for sex at least two point five

514
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: million times a year in the US, and it is

515
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: growing a thirty five percent increase in reports. How can

516
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: it stop the exploitation of over a million children, accounts

517
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 1: for more than twenty percent of a ninety nine billion

518
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 1: dollars a year global sex trafficking industry. Listen, all the

519
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: money she earned went to the trafficker. It's a common

520
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: way to control victims. No money, no job, skills, and

521
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: no place to go, keep stuck. It's not as simple

522
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: as like, oh, why didn't you just leave? And everyone's like, well,

523
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 1: asks me that, and it's not as easy as you say.

524
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: It's really not so. For ten years, she suffered being

525
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: raped multiple times every single day. She was whipped, stabbed, burned,

526
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: and once shot with a baby gun. Once, her trafficker's

527
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: rival kidnapped her off the street then locked her in

528
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: a basement with nothing but a twin mattress and a

529
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: bucket for a bathroom. He had his drug dealers and stuff,

530
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: just like rape me continuously in that particular room. You

531
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: are listening to gri Monteforte, writer and host of the

532
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,479
Speaker 1: documentary you just heard what happened to the girl next door.

533
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: I feel, Jeff Cortesy, FBI special Agent former, that we're

534
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 1: out here alone fighting it. Why can't the fads stop it? Yeah, Nancy,

535
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: I mean just hearing the stories understanding what goes on,

536
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: having experienced firsthand some of these some of these details

537
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: that heartbreaking is an understatement. As a husband and father

538
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: as well of daughter, you know, it's vigilance. You know,

539
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: the FBI and law enforcement are committed to the cause.

540
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: But as you said, there's an evolution that's taking place

541
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: in the way that we think. You know, these women

542
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: used to be the targets of the investigation. They're not

543
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: necessarily women, Jeff Cortesi. Their children under in our law

544
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: at that age thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, they're children. I think

545
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: part of the problem, Jeff, this is something for you

546
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: to think about, is that otherwise ordinary men coming in

547
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: from the suburbs with wives and families are many of

548
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: the ones purchasing children. I don't understand that if you

549
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: found that to be true. To Laurie Monteforte, who created

550
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: documentary What Happened to the Girl next Door, I'm basing

551
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: that on what I have learned in an article in

552
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 1: USA Today, who buys a traffic child for sex? Quote

553
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: otherwise ordinary men by Tim Swarin's what have you learned, Laurie?

554
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 1: There is no one type of men who buys children

555
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: for sex. It might be a homeless guy who screeped

556
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,280
Speaker 1: together some money from begging. It might be the judge.

557
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: It might be a billionaire. There's no profile here. It

558
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: could be your dentist, your doctor, your neighbor, your lawyer.

559
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: It would shock you. Laurie Monteforte, You're right. If you

560
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: can't relate to this, think of your child, think of

561
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: your grandchild, your niece, your little sister, and imagine this

562
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: life for them. If you can bear it, Each person,
