3. A friend of a friend
It is natural to believe a person who your own company is familiar with, so when Sarah met her future trafficker in a club while surrounded with friends, she thought she had no reason to mistrust him. She was 21 at the time, and started to fall in love as the guy seemed to pay great attention to her an did lots of romantic and thoughtful gestures. They were in a relationship for a month when he suggested a “modeling job” to her. Going to a hotel to do the gig should have been a red flag, but… What followed was the beginning of 6-month horror in which she was repeatedly drugged and raped until she managed to save herself.
