About this listen

This is the true story of how I discovered, after thirty years of marriage, that my husband was a sex trafficker. How could this happen to a seemingly normal, happy American family? From the records I've kept over the past ten years, I'll tell you the details of my own investigation into his secret life and alias identities along with what I've learned about how the underground world of the sex trafficking industry really operates and how most of it remains beyond the reach of law enforcement.

It's important that we understand this frightening reality because the people involved in sex trafficking today are often those you would least expect. If this could happen to me, it could happen to you. But the more we know, the more we can do to stop it.
