Vegas' Dark Side - The Stories of Ex-Prostitutes 🇺🇸

In this video, we go behind the scenes and meet women who've worked the Vegas strip and were human trafficked as products to make money for their pimps. These heroic women have since left the industry and started halfway houses to bring other women out of prost****tion and trafficking and into a more sane lifestyle. Join us for possibly the most important video we've ever made.

[@craigmason8422]

I think Peter is an incredible conversationalist, and I thoroughly enjoy the way he handles interviews, I just wish you were a little more aggressive in the interview of her use of the word trafficked. I have been involved with charities that internationally try to help trafficked women, and this is not a "trafficked" woman. Trafficked women don't get to "break up" with their traffickers, trafficked women never see their "P***y" as powerful, trafficked women don't get to go "renegade" when they feel like it, they are mostly poor, stolen women, from poorer countries, who, due to the fact they are most likely here illegally, are scared to go to authorities. I tell it like I think it is, this woman has no right to call herself trafficked imo, and if you listen to her closely, she gave Peter, many times, in her own words, where she tells you she was not the definition of trafficked. When I see her actions, and what she said, I think she is self-describing herself as trafficked for better marketability, and I believe what she did, to label herself as trafficked, is an insult to the real world of trafficked women.

Back in 1994 I worked in South Africa and one night in a bar in Johannesburg I got talking to a prostitute who was turning tricks in the bar. Long story short I paid for an hour with her but all we did was talk and her story was horrible and her parents got murdered in Zimbabwe and she moved to SA to live with a relative. We ended up going out a few times and I'd take her to lunch or out to dinner and I asked her if I could do you want out of this life? She didn't hesitate and said yes! I was lucky because I was working in close protection and I managed to get her a visa to fly home with me back to the UK. She was so so scared but I said give it 6 months and if you want to go back home ill buy the ticket. Fast forward to today and Lisa is married to one of my good friends who knows her past they have 2 beautiful kids and she's a nurse!

[@jackieyoung3359]

A girl I went to high school with moved to Las Vegas, became a prostitute and was murdered with her body cut up in pieces on the side of a highway when she was only 21. If you saw the town we grew up in you’d be shocked. Small middle-upper class town. Literally no crime. Great schools with a very high percentage of kids going to college. Everybody knows everyone and in general is a real community feel. Her family seemed like nice, normal middle class family. It just goes to show you, it can literally happen to anyone.

[@victoriasfire]

Sounds like she was trafficked or on drugs in Vegas. Probable child / sexual abuse growing up.

[@tuforu4]

AMERICANS are WEIRD 700MILLION guns in private hands USA for freedom JEEÈEEEZ and peace.

[@halloweenallyearround4889]

I hope she didn't have a terrible childhood. A lot of abusive families hide it really well. Many people who become addicts or who are trafficked were treated like scum by their own parents. Just because they couldn't accept that one of their kids didn't take after them, and instead was kind and honest. The years before she was murdered must have been harrowing. Her pimp, Johns and murderer deserve no peace. If her family abused her, they conditioned her to see abuse as love and handed her to her pimp(s).

[@vjs4539]

A nice example for the girls from your hometown on what not to do

[@itsanne]

Well, we can’t assume her parents were abusive but we also can’t assume they weren’t just because they were upper middle class. You never know what goes on behind closed doors. She could also have got some trauma outside of her family. You just never know 😞 it’s very sad, I hope she has found peace.

[@AprilsRedeemedAndSetFree]

Being sexually violated as a child ABSOLUTELY set me up to be re-victimized in life. I was never trafficked or turned out. But I was a victim as a child of sexual abuse and it's like these predators knew and would target me. I am blessed I never got trafficked etc , but I have been sexually abused several times in my life! Ladies I am so happy to see you helping others!!! God bless!

After seeing Annie for quite a few minutes with this tough facade and talking about trafficking, being beaten, and getting her head shaved and humiliated, and all that in a matter-of-fact, sort of in-your-face way, it was heartbreaking for her to cry at just saying that she wanted to be loved.

This documentary is living proof for people who don’t understand why having functional families and having good, understanding parents as role models are so important for society. The likelihood of women being manipulated and abused by these traffickers increases exponentially if they come from households where abuse is common because for them, this is natural.

[@jaybae7315]

Yup!

[@bliss4383]

As my Pastor once said, “The family unit is the bedrock of civilization itself.” Mess it up and you mess up society at large. I watched a Netflix documentary a few months back on prison inmate interviews. Without exception, every inmate said he was abused as a child.

[@rosiekapun207]

Unfortunately, how functional a family is depends on their culture as well. Many cultures have traditionally been patriarchal with outdated ideals in which women were not considered equals. So, parents repeat these values and girls grow up to believe it. It's a very complex issue but moving towards a more feminist society is probably the best remedy for centuries of mistreatment against women.

[@pyrovania]

In some cases, young people are trafficked by their own relatives.

[@bliss4383]

@@rosiekapun207 The most important job in the world is that of a mother. I think it’s in Sweden that women are given a 5-year maternity leave. I’m certain that’s because these are the most crucial years in childhood development. If a child is not nurtured (loved, mirrored, cuddled, cooed at, picked up, gets food and diaper changes when needed, etc.), the baby will suffer from neglect and abuse that results in at least one Personality Disorder. The mother will transfer Oxytocin, the Bonding Hormone, during her pregnancy and it’s critical that ties continued after that, in those crucial years. And if that doesn’t happen, you get a Donald Trump….although he also has Psychopathy, a genetic mutation, passed down from his father. His mother was dealing with a difficult and bleeding pregnancy with her next child, Robert, when Trump was 2 years old. Thus, in comorbidity with the inherited Psychopathy, he developed Cluster A Paranoid Personality Disorder and Cluster B Narcissistic Personality Disorder. In China there used to be a One Child Rule, due to overpopulation. In that culture, sons are expected to care for their parents in ther elderly years. As such, if they had a female child, she was either aborted or put in an orphanage, where she and all the other female babies didn’t get the Nurturing every child needs and deserves. In Christianity, God sees men and women as co-equals - joint heirs to the throne, but it’s evident they have differing roles. There will be trouble if the husband does not submit his life to Christ, but if he does, his wife will be more that happy to follow her husband, as the leader of the family. Jesus was a Servant Leader who led by love. Thus, a husband is to server his wife, and she is to serve her husband. Feminism is simply a rebellion against men who do not lead and love women as Jesus did. Women had numerous prominent roles in the Bible. One excellent book and it’s follow-up, was 12 Extraordinary Women, followed by 12 Ordinary Men….written by my well-known and much loved Pastor, John MacArthur. His large church is truly bustling with happy, well-adjusted families. But the world wants to tear the family apart, and a man want to be in control, because they reject this God of Love, Compassion, Service, Healing, as a Wonderful Counselor and Peace of Peace. He suffered brutally and died for teaching such things, and at a time when women were still nothing more than chattel. He taught men how to love women, not abuse them. And he said, while surrounded by children, “If anyone harms one of these little ones, it is better that a millstone be hung around his neck and he be drowned in the bottom of the sea.” That’s Capital Punishment, so you can see how deadly serous he took child abuse. By contrast, in cultures like Afghanistan, and Thailand, Pedophilia is the norm. Try catching up with Diane Langberg, Ph.D., a Psychologist and Pastor’s wife who’s a 50-year veteran Trauma Counselor, has a private practice in Philadelphia, and has done her work on 6 continents. But make no mistake, her focus has always been first and foremost to take on victims who have been abuse by their so-called” Christian husbands. Jesus and the Apostle Paul both warned of false converts, and repeatedly did so. But if men truly humble themselves, bowing their knee to Christ, learning his ways, that’s where the wonderful and healthy marriages and families begin.

When I told him I had many years experience in HR he stopped having me serve him. A month later that girl supposedly went on a cruise with him and we never saw her again.

Except Aria wasn't built until 2009. She said quit in 1998. She's trying to tell lies but doesn't know enough Vegas history to know how ridiculous what she's saying actually is. You got duped by a pathologically lying narcissistic. at 2:00 when she says she used to hook in all these hotels? Literally not a single hotel in that picture was built before 1998. None of them even existed.

Yes…I watched to the end….and to the person who said “she choose this life” …….well yes she DID choose that life…just like every addict. You choose food…drugs…sex…etc. whatever your addiction is…cigarettes! So when you are addicted you CHOOSE your addiction. Most of us are different with OUR choices….we choose things for different reasons. Addiction brings a person down to the depths of despair. When a woman is abused in her childhood/teen physically or sexually or both they most of the time never come out of it on the other side as a normal functioning person. They will many times not feel worthy as a person so they turn to men to try to satisfy them because that’s all they think they are good for….it becomes an addiction of a complete mental illness. Think about it….so sad.

When I was in the Navy stationed in San Diego CA. I knew a girl who was a victim of trafficking. Her street name was Candy. We were getting to know each other by hanging out and having coffee at Dennys in the late hrs of the evenings after leaving the clubs. I was never a trick for her; we would sit and talk about her life and what made me join the military. We started to get feelings for each other as I was trying to get her off the streets. I had to go out to Sea for a month doing coastal patrols and when I got back I went to the Dennys we'd meet at and I was sitting there for a long time. A young lady approached and asked me my name and I told her. She said she was Candy's real sister and that Candy was killed while I was out to sea. She said she wish Candy would have met me a long time before we did; she said Candy always wrote to her about me. I know she's in heaven now looking down on me because I was trying to get her life changed around. Thank you Annie for what you are doing out there in Vegas.

I knew a woman just like Annie in the 80s and dated her for two years, I was always trying to get her to stop being a party girl. Years later when I was in my 50s I ran into her at a store she told me she was so sorry for not realizing what a good life we could have had if she just stayed with me, but now she had destroyed her body and no longer wanted to be with anyone. It was very sad to see the way she looked, walking like a hundred-year-old woman and her eyes had no life left in them. This lifestyle kills you quickly so let Annie help you. Good luck, Annie and I hope you can help many women before it's too late for them.

[@warrenbfeagins]

If she was in this kind of lifestyle, why on earth would you date her?? As a man, I don't understand guys that try to turn a you know what into a housewife. I wouldn't even want a woman who was ran through like that. That's her value to me, NOT being ran through. No disrespect and maybe you were young and didn't know any better, but I just don't understand why a man would want a woman that EVERYBODY ran through. If a woman lives this kind of lifestyle whether by force or choice, you can't and you shouldn't take her seriously. To her, intimacy is transactional, so you can never have a relationship with her. There are so many women who are not ran through and ready to get on a good man's program that I just never understood why a guy would dumpster dive. To me, that's the other side of this industry. Men who don't understand THEIR value who support this multi billion dollar industry worldwide. Again, no disrespect, but I just never got that.

Note to people who are confused about her seeming to glamorize her past: darkness can still be exhilirating, and you can “reminisce” about those times of darkness even if you know they were bad for you. I reminisce about days of former drug and alchohol abuse even though that was a dark time in my life. I was miserable at that time but I still found points of happiness and joy in that painful downward spiral. Non-addicts and people who have never experienced the dark side of themselves might never understand this. I don’t want to go back to those days, but there were still good moments that i miss. I’m sure she feels the same. It doesn’t mean she would ever go back or recommend it.

[@omnium_gatherum]

I think it's important to not hide that part. When a young person is warned about harmful lifestyles and they're painted only in an ugly light, if they go out and realize the allure/temptation behind it, they're bound to think their guardians lied to them and do it anyway, only to realize the truth too late. But if we're honest in how alluring and even "fun" a destructive lifestyle can be, but put the weight on the depressing consequences and what those lifestyles are ACTUALLY doing to you, I think maybe you're giving them a fuller picture of what to look out for. Just my opinion though

[@lilahphoenix4109]

Thank you for being thoughtful and insightful. Some of these comments are astoundingly naive and ignorant. I'm sure Annie has heard all the bullshit we see in the comments here. Good thing she's a strong person doing good things in the world that mean a lot more than being a willfully dense asshole on the internet trying to tear people down.

God bless her and all of the brave people helping her. And thank you, Peter, for helping expose this sinister cycle. I hope this video gives some people the shame they deserve, and others the hope they need. 💓

Oh pls, she was not trafficked. She tells you she liked that her "p***y had power" A trafficked woman never feels like that, she could have left whenever she wanted, thats not "trafficked"

Pffft! I don't believe it was bad. I think most prostitutes are actually manipulating men (who are the victims) Men have a weakness for sex , and these greedy selfish women are exploiting that vulnerability in men. Whats worse is they try blaming men for it. Look how happy the two main ladies are, bubbly and full of smiles. They enjoyed making EASY MONEY

[@monicamiranda890]

Wow. Great video. It helps validate what I read a long time ago about the women who get trapped in this. It’s hard to realize that people turn a blind eye or in some way, they are involved in this. This kind of trauma bonding also is many times in one on one relationships. It’s almost impossible to help them.

The Ex "Sex worker" in this video is a radical anti-sex work campaigner: She is fighting against ALL in person sex work instead of listening to respected anti-trafficking organizations, including the largest anti-trafficking organization in America, Freedom United which is pro-sex work. She said Kamala Harris was wrong for being for the decriminalization of sex work. And is trying to abolish it completely, which is the worst thing in the world.

[@vagisilhaul]

I have been escorting independently for over 20 years and I am fascinated by how different our experiences are. I have worked with other women that had pimps and I could not comprehend why they were absolutely in love with them and would make excuses to justify the abuse they endured. I think it is often a combination of childhood trauma, mental illness w/ codependency, addiction and crisis for most women who are involved with prostitution. I make a good living but I am a functioning addict with a very expensive habit. Sometimes I wonder if I would still stay in the industry if I got clean. I honestly don't know. Great video.

My best friend was a vice detective here in Las Vegas for years. She is now in homicide, but sadly, there are a lot of commonalities between the two. She worked very hard to try and help trafficked girls. She was always working. Her family was in town, and she got a call from a working with an upcoming case against her pimp, and she had to talk to the girl for two hours on her day off to keep her on the path to testify. It’s so heartbreaking, and what these ladies are doing is so wonderful! I wish I were able to volunteer and help them somehow. Thank you for sharing this. I’m loving your series about my city.

Many many years ago (20+ years at this stage), I worked at a shelter for girls/women who, for the most part, didn't decide to go into this lifestyle by their own choices. The place I worked at had a 'no male policy' with the exception of another social worker and a psychiatrist. These girls were literally dumped on our doorstep, beat to pulp, and we'd try our hardest to help them any way we could. It has changed me significantly and watching this breaks my heart, that nothing has changed. The only thing that gives me hope, are people like Annie, who will keep fighting and let their voice be heard. Keep doing what you do Annie, those girls all need your voice... and Ashley, too.
