2. The slave mark
Growing up in foster homes did not instill much confidence into a 16-year-old FV, who was easy prey to Edward Bagley. The young girl was a frequent visitor of his family, as she dated his son. It all began with showing her some pornographic material, especially of sadomasochistic type. When she ran away from home, the trailer residence was where she searched sanctuary and eventually started a sexual relationship with Bagley. Having been promised to become a model and a dancer, she agreed to do what she was told.
In the next 6 years, FV was subjected to the most brutal sadistic activities, while the public thought she was doing so willingly. She even ended up on a cover of a magazine, with a full interview. What she failed to mention in it was the fact she would have been buried alive if she had tried to escape the torture. As a special sign of humiliation, her trafficker had her tattooed a bar code and a Chinese sign for a slave.
