When two young Brazilian women were reported missing in September 2022, their families and the FBI launched a desperate search across the US to find them. All they knew was that they were living with wellness influencer Kat Torres.
Torres has now been sentenced to eight years in prison for the human trafficking and slavery of one of those women. The BBC has also been told that charges have been filed against her in relation to a second woman.
Can someone Explain to me like a kid how in the world do you traffic someone?
You take them from one place to another, typically without their consent.
So if my lover is taken to some place she doesn’t want to go like Dollyworld then I commited trafficing ?
If you take her ID/passport, access to phones/internet, and any access to money so she would be reliant on you for survival.
Normally if she is your lover, you could just talk to each other though.
The article explains how this particular individual did it.
