0:00:05.080 --> 0:00:06.080
<v Speaker 1>To hear it make concern.

0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:10.080
<v Speaker 2>I hope you're well. It all started with just one email.

0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:12.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm sending this email on behalf of myself and quite

0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 1>a few other models about the horrific dealings we've all had.

0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 2>A group of models from the UK wanted my help.

0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:22.640
<v Speaker 1>We want to speak out, we want to raise awareness

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:25.840
<v Speaker 1>and we want this to stop. Wow. Very powerful. It

0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 1>would set me off on an investigation around the world.

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 3>God, this is trust.

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Deep into the heart of the adult entertainment industry.

<v Speaker 3>I really wanted to be a plearboy modult.

0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:40.120
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to be in the magazine and I wanted

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:40.839
<v Speaker 2>to be in the limelight.

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:45.200
<v Speaker 4>It was my goll it was my dream lingerie, topless legs, open,

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:45.840
<v Speaker 4>full nude.

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 3>I said, yes, please.

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 2>What I uncovered was a world plagued by scams.

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 3>He said, for five pounds, I could be the playboy, playmame.

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 3>He was like, I'll take you to the top. I'll

0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 3>make you a star. Any woman who can be a

0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:01.800
<v Speaker 3>cover role these days willing to pony after Dell. Why

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:04.039
<v Speaker 3>do you have to pay to be a model? Oh

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 3>my god, that is absolutely wild.

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>And at the center of this murky world is an

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 1>alleged predator, a man accused of repeatedly abusing models who

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.399
<v Speaker 1>thought he was offering to make their dreams come true.

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 3>He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:22.880
