Mary's Story

In 2007 "Mary," a middle-class suburban New England girl who had fallen in with the wrong crowd and become addicted to drugs, met a man who promised her "so much money you'll be driving a Mercedes in a few weeks." He told her she would be treated like a princess, like a "little Barbie doll," complete with a new wardrobe and exciting parties. He told her she wouldn't have to worry about money anymore . . . she only had to let him take some pictures of her and do exactly what he told her to do. Mary was reluctant, but with seemingly nowhere else to turn, she agreed. She had experienced a lot of trouble in her life and this man was offering a way out. The photos were taken immediately. Then, just a few minutes later, he put her posting online where men find sex for sale. The phone started ringing right away . . . and Mary had her first "date." Four hours. It was four hours from the time she met the pimp until she had sex for money with her first "John." Four hours that would send her down a road of abuse, violence, humiliation, drug abuse and unimaginable degradation.
