00:02 I was associated with prostitution
00:03 with someone walking down the street.
00:06 And I saw a lot of girls.
00:09 It's like shopping online for people to have sex with.
00:13 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:15 Trafficking, survival sex, and sex work.
00:19 It's all happening here in the United States.
00:23 19-year-old, new in town, 100% real.
00:27 This is so crazy, man.
00:29 $4,000 a day.
00:31 You add that up, I made them millions.
00:33 Your whole life was a lie.
00:38 They see me on that corner when they went to work.
00:44 They see me on that corner when they get off of work.
00:47 Those are two extremely young girls.
00:50 Something is wrong.
00:51 Move on, move on, go, go, go, go.
00:52 And nobody's never stopped the next.
00:57 If you were to look at any of these ads,
00:59 you'd never be able to tell whether they're being trafficked.
01:03 Who ends up in prostitution?
01:04 Marginalized people.
01:05 Are trafficking and drugs connected?
01:07 Absolutely.
01:09 Do you feel like this is empowering yourself?
01:11 I'm not going to lie, I'm expensive.
01:13 I should have a half a million in the next few years.
01:15 This woman is being pimped out.
01:17 You're falling into the trap.
01:18 They're nonsense.
01:19 Trust me, I got it right.
01:21 Did you feel like you couldn't report it to the police?
01:24 Absolutely.
01:25 What's my excuse for being in the strange man's car?
01:27 My heart's racing and we're waiting.
01:30 I don't think I've ever been this nervous before.
01:32 Kids are being sold to feed their parents drug habits.
01:42 Sex work is not a bad word.
01:44 But it's happening regardless.
01:46 What's the harm in legalizing it?
01:48 People experience the sex trade on a spectrum.
01:55 These laws affect all of these people.
01:57 So finding a solution is way more complicated than you think.
