She Was Trafficked As A Teen And Worries That’s Something She Should Disclose To Guys She Dates

According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, a horrifying 27.6 million people worldwide fall victim to human traffickers.

“Although there is no reliable estimate of human trafficking within the United States, human trafficking has been reported in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, on Tribal land, and within U.S. territories,” they go on to say on their website.

While certain populations are considered more at risk, human traffickers don’t discriminate and will target pretty much anyone they think they can make money off of. Scary, isn’t it?

This 27-year-old woman sadly fell victim to human traffickers when she was 19. She was on a sugar dating website and met a guy online.

For her, this was absolutely a last-ditch effort to make money after her dad cut her off in college for wanting to drop out, and her ex-boyfriend maxed out her credit card before draining her bank account.

Her dad lives with the regret every day of cutting her off and what happened to her, but she doesn’t blame him, as he had no way of knowing what would come next.

Anyway, the guy she met online ended up trafficking her for more than a week before she managed to escape from his captivity. He was arrested, has yet to be released, and she’s hoping he never gets out of prison.

Now, the problem comes down to her dating life: there are many people who feel that she should disclose to the guys she dates that she was trafficked as a teen.

“I’ve had a few men in the past, plus some of my friends, tell me that I should be upfront and honest about it, and tell this to the guy I’m seeing on the first few dates,” she explained.
