I was very nearly trafficked when the super bowl was held in my city. I didn't even realize what it was at the time and my past trauma of SA from an ex locked those memories down. I'm very glad that Jay shared her story

[@Filmdheva]

i literally cried watching this. i was abused by my brother several times, i can't even imagine what it's like for her to be abused 24000 times. regardless of whether the number was that high, it must've been so scary to live through that. she's so strong for pulling through.

“I don’t know why I am so lucky “ that hit me so much an amazing lady and probably an amazing mother and with her an amazing grandmother ❤️

[@kittydeleo4043]

So devastating, this made me cry. I'm so so sorry that this beautiful woman (and all people in this situation) had to experience this - the abuse, exploitation, awfulness - and the total absence of any real justice. My heart goes out to you

[@rosee8140]

Love what she had to say about sex work. What a stunning and powerful woman.

[@nhvkuy4675]

"work"

[@Ryuukiwi]

yo so I worked at a motel for like 4+ years graveyard shift and it was one of those run down cheap motels and certain stuff you had to really pay attention too like little details and its crazy how much stuff goes on in motels. I remember this one girl she didn't speak engilsh and was with this guy who would pay and speak for her he would direct her to stay in the vehicle and certain body language you could tell something was up and its soo hard to determine whether this person is in trouble or not. They would stay under the week rate and would have guys going in and out of the room like clear to me its most likely prostitution and we contacted police about it and had regular patrols around the motel for stuff like this also break-ins cause we had a really run down side that was vacant. it was annoying because the owners didn't really care about anything as long as they got money and it was a big learning experience when it come to people and body language I still sometimes get mad at my self for not doing more if I could but that was one incident that stuck with me a lot, like what if it was a person who needed help. later there was arrests at the motel for trafficking and drug dealing but I wasn't around to see if it was that person. there was a lot of crazy nonsense that happened at that motel I'm just glad I'm not working there anymore. this just made me think how hotels or motels really are a hub for criminal activity like crazy and these people are very smart they know all these grey areas of the law so is so impossible for police to help sometimes the police really hit these brick walls and cant proceed with certain things cause it infringes on rights. its hard. sorry about the ramble and grammar lol

[@LaCréé.e]

Wow I didn't know child prostitution was held as a crime against the child what? And what's up with these ridiculous to non existing sentences for the traffickers in question?

[@malonee]

I haven’t been upset for 11 whole minutes in a long time. “I was treated as lucky” BRO fucc those people. I couldn’t IMAGINE. Djghost says it all, if you ain’t ready for prison , don’t have kids.

[@dakotac180]

Bless her soul, she's a fighter. This is an example of how the system doesn't care about women. I'm glad she was there to talk to that other girl and I hope she gets help...

[@anovosedlik]

24,000 abusers in a year or two. No prison time for the traffickers. How does this even happen? How are there people so evil?

[@bobbin135]

That face at 9:40, this womenstill has SO MUCH empathy for other survivers of SA despite everything she's been through ❤

[@definitelynotjim2336]

she’s beautiful and it’s amazing she’s able to share her story

[@hailey.jade28]

She’s so strong. Sending so much love and healing ❤️

[@kathleenreilly828]

I wish that someone would’ve asked her about if she is married or asked more about her children. More specifically asking to see how it has effected the way that she approaches relationships and how she raises her own family.

[@TemplatesNstuff]

I see her dissociating in some parts of this interview... It must've been so painful that her brain just went on auto-defence mode

[@nenya]

What an absolute warrior of a woman! I hear such stories and it really makes me understand people who don’t want to bring children into this world. What an appaling, incompetent, disgusting, and shameful injustice system! How dare they abuse her all the more. I can't even.

[@1995marixsa]

This video made me cry like a baby ]. When I think of a warrior this woman and people who've been in that disgusting situation will forever be the first I think about. She is so strong and to think that juststice wasn't served for her on the contrary it did her really dirty disgusts me. I feel privilage to have heard her story thank you Jubilee for doing this.

[@sophiahou7103]

This is so sickening. This poor girl from age 16-17 was sold to 24,000 buyers?! That’s a LOT of criminals who GOT AWAY WITH IT. She claimed they were rich middle aged men too, how on earth did those ppl get hired at jobs and even live w themselves? Not all well groomed men in suits should be respected.

[@crispy9249]

Stop believing everything you hear. Either she meant 2400 or she lied.

[@biancamcalister2836]

24,000 is an excruciatingly painful number to hear

[@luwakw01]

This is incomprehensible. I can't seem to absorb what I'm hearing. Huh!? How the eff!?!? My jaw was agape the entire video. My goodness, thank you for sharing. What a beautiful woman you are.

[@hotteok.mp4]

the way she speaks is so calm & well worded. jay, an incredible & strong human being! i wholeheartedly believe that your perpetrators will face justice

[@user-nf9xm7is3m]

I hope every person effected by sex trafficking have a thousand guardian angels around them at all times and they can somehow find some peace

[@blakewithers9936]

worst kind of thoughts and prayers

[@meylinhernandez461]

How do you even charge and trial a CHILD for prostitution?? That just doesn’t even remotely make sense to me.

[@miadrawz421]

I wish her all the best in life and to any other victims out there I’m sorry for what you had to go through :(

[@preston4740]

the reason they abusers arent punished is because the buyers are the ones making the laws

[@JezzaN1]

The bravery and strength of this woman is unbelievable, to go through such a horrific ordeal and come out the other side so strong and optimistic really puts things into perspective for me.

[@dcashley303]

How can someone go through so much traumatic sh*t in such a short space of time? Absolutely unbelievably intense. My heart goes out to Jay and anyone else who is a survivor of things like this.

[@jaybenke]

Ty

[@S0Cuber]

Didn't watch yet but the one question I'd ask is how she found the bravery to even talk about this so openly.

[@nviscallin3702]

This so messed up. All her traffickers need do be punished and ruined. I can only imagine how much people suffered because of them.

[@yeseniamendoza5844]

Poor poor woman…my heart hurts:(

[@momoneyy408]

She’s an incredible woman! I wonder what state she was in to allow this to happen? This is heart breaking that she got 40 days and the 2 traffickers got out in 10 days or less.

[@andie3448]

When she said she doesn't know why she's lucky :( baby girl you deserve the world

[@jaybenke]

Thank you!! 😭😭😭😭 - Jay 💙

[@Anonymous-jj3cz]

I was also trafficked, and I’m really glad jubilee made this video. It doesn’t happen the way people say it does on tik tok or social media and it’s really frustrating to hear misinformation being spread on this topic constantly.

[@jaybenke]

Have you been able to connect with the survivor community? - Jay 💙

[@CrashNebulaa]

Completely broke my heart. The system failed her is an understatement.

[@sedonarose7563]

Bravo to this young survivor. And F*** the disgusting customers and traffickers who abused her and assaulted her.

[@imanabubakar9632]

absolutely broke my heart. she needs a big hug, bless her soul❤

[@erandiler8904]

This is a great video! The only thing lacking in it is that I would've loved to hear more about her relationship with sex today. How did her experience affect her relationship to consent? What was her journey to overcome her trauma like? It's a shame she didn't cover those topics. But I'm happy for her that she seems to be doing well now.

[@erandiler8904]

And yeah, all the stuff that happened to her with law enforcement is effed up.

[@jaybenke]

We talked for hours so a lot was edited for obvious reasons. 💙 I have a great relationship with sex. What happened to me was not sex. It was 🍇. So I don't associate the two. It has taken me time, safety, and hard work to get to that place. That looked like weekly to thrice weekly therapy with a trauma therapist who specializes in working with trafficking survivors, years of EMDR, connecting with my survivor siblings, and a whole lot of ugly crying. This is something I will live with for the rest of my life and I can also be safe and in the present and partake of all of life's wonder and beauty all around me. Every day is precious and not to be squandered. I hope that answers your great questions. Thanks for the support!

[@Amy-cw6qs]

@@jaybenke I am so happy for you. I am happy you were able to access the resources that you needed. I don’t mean to make this comment about myself with all the “I, this, I, that”, but I just can’t find the words to express how grateful I am for you. You are a beautiful human being and I’m so glad you got to share your story!! I was recently in a jubilee video too so I totally get having had such a long conversation with most of it being edited out 😂, but nevertheless, the parts of your conversations that were included in the video were breathtaking. Many people will say “you are such a strong person”, which of course you are! But I think sometimes we as a society forget that it’s ok to not always be strong (although we might each have our own definition of strong!). It’s ok to cry your eyes out, it’s ok to admit that you need help. And it’s 100% ok to not want to deal with trauma completely alone. I get the feeling that you have a strong support system now and you’ve probably heard this before, but I still wanted to say it anyway, because I believe you can never hear enough just how valid your feelings are. You are an amazing person, and I think it’s safe to say that there are thousands of people out there who are all giving you the biggest virtual hugs! Thank you so much for sharing your story! ♥️

[@bekahchu4102]

Here's what I would ask before watching this so hopefully someone else did: "What can we do to help victims still being trafficked and how can we help survivors?"

[@jaybenke]

Contact your legislators and tell them that you stand with trafficking victims and you support the Equality Model/ Safe Harbor for All. Fight any attempts to legalize prostitution. We need services, education, funding, mental health, health care, housing, education service and more but we can't get anywhere as long as we keep having to fight full decrim. - Jay 💙
