No. At the age of 18 after the trafficking, I had enough of him sleeping with other people and I got into a confrontation with him and he called the cops on me. When the cop asked if I had shoved him I said of course and told them about the sexual abuse I had been experiencing since I was a teenager. The officer put me into handcuffs and I went to jail.

@mcpeewee68 the video had to be edited for legal reasons. I had been abused by my father since I was a young boy. When my father found out about me dating the college student he beat me and I called the cops. The cops asked me to pack a bag and leave. I felt like I couldn’t tell anyone anything that happened to me because no one was going to protect me and it’s all my fault because I’m gay.

@alicia-rw wrong. My father beat me my entire childhood for behaving to feminine. He beat me when he found out I was gay and I called law enforcement and they asked me to pack a bag and leave. It’s the homophobia that exists in this world that creates these horrible crimes to happen to innocent people. Stop victim blaming!

I wasn’t

I was physically and verbally abused since being a child. The day my father found out I was talking to a guy he beat me. I called the cops and was asked to leave my home. I felt like I couldn’t turn to anyone because I would be discriminated against for being gay. Then my parents moved me to live with a relative and I was alone. I was groomed by a man on myspace.

What a bunch of systemic failures. I went to the police when my father beat me for dating a guy. The police asked me to pack a bag. I had a bruised face and ribs. When I returned my dad asked how he could fix me and I just asked him to move me somewhere new because I wanted to get away from him and the abuse. After everything, at the age of 18 my first abuser called the cops on me for pushing him. I told the officer that he had been sexually abusing me since I was 16 and the officer didn’t care and put me in handcuffs.

@olimpio69 you mean at 16 when my parents kicked me out of the house? Or do you think this video told my whole life story? But either way if you think that 16 year olds just know how to survive then I hope you don’t have children yourself.

I’m 33 now. I was talking about when I was 16. He was much older than me.

They don’t. Most traffickers don’t have money, better yet most traffickers don’t get charged.

Jason?

@Greg-x4i I didn’t. It was traumatizing.

@Greg-x4i it was me and this happened to me over a decade ago.

When I learned about Jason’s arrest 7 years after he did this to me. The first thing I told my friend was to not tell anyone because I didn’t want to go to prison. When I realized I didn’t do anything wrong and I was a victim, being a minor, I blamed myself for not going to law enforcement. Just to share though, I called the cops on my first abuser and reported him to the school he worked at and because I pushed him during an argument, I was put into hand cuffs and went to jail. I didn’t feel I could ever go to the police for protection.
