Survivor Shares the Realities of Sex Trafficking in America

Sophia Strother Lewis says she was born to well-to-do parents in Springfield, Massachusetts. Later living in rural Texas she says her mother sold her for sex as a child to help raise money for her mother’s drug habit and bills. She escaped as a 15-year-old mother herself with a desperate call to her grandmother. Lewis talks with NBC 5’s Ken Kalthoff and shares the realities of what sex trafficking looks like — and it may not be what you think. Lewis also talks about getting out and helping victims escape the abuse with help from campaigns like Can You See Me.
