“The more we educate, the more people become aware, the more victims of abuse will speak up,” says Wade.
The meeting focused on key issues on how to help victims of human trafficking and along with Wade, Reed spoke, as well as Shari, whose daughter is still in the sex trade.
Shari says, “in about 3 months, she disappeared.”
Shari opened up about her daughter’s experience that began in 2013.
Shari tells us, “she was gone for 9 months. Her quota was $2,000 a night. That’s 20 men, every night, 7 days a week and she was 16 years old from a good, fine family.”
Her daughter was working out at Westgate Mall when she became a victim.
Shari contacted the FBI before finding her daughter in Denver in January of last year.
Shari says, “and he’s in prison, federal prison, for human trafficking a minor for sexual purposes.”
