Ripped from the Headlines: Stories of Human Trafficking
When the curtain is pulled back on the everyday facade of our communities, the monstrous reality of human trafficking comes into dreadful focus. My co-host LaDonna Humphrey and I, Amy Smith, are back to bring you another harrowing journey into the depths of this criminal underworld, uncovering stories that are as shocking as they are critical to be told. Through our podcast, we're unveiling the gut-wrenching tale of a 17-year-old girl, trapped in the clutches of former corporate bigwig Dawson Caldwell, forced into sex with multiple men daily while on a cocktail of dangerous drugs. Our recent episode traverses the grim paths of Operation Renewed Hope, resulting in 123 arrests, including those we often hold in high esteem like teachers and counselors, found complicit in the sex trafficking trade. We lay bare the disturbing operations of Jacques Anton Lanier, who exploited young girls for sex and drugs, and recount the rescue of a missing Colorado child caught up in a Virginia sex trafficking sting. Join us as we confront these chilling realities and give a voice to the voiceless, spotlighting the necessity for awareness and action in the face of such pervasive evil. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/deepdarksecretspodcast/support
