And I remember him saying, he said, "So it's not what, what you think it is." And I was like, "Yep. Mm-hmm.
Got that." And he said, "But what it is, it's just gonna be really well done adult videos.
They're gonna go on DVD, and they're only going to be dispersed in Australia for wealthy white men." And in that exact moment, I got pulled out of my dissociation, and I went, "Australia.
Australia." That guy, he... Remind me. He's New Ze- he's from New Zealand, but I'm just not tra- especially not at 19. But immediately I was like, "Australia." Like, "Oh my God." And so I didn't know what was happening.
I did not have the word for sex trafficking at all in my vocabulary, but it... in that moment there was like, okay, there's connections here.
There's something going on. Hold on. And he, he pulls out a Bank of America envelope, and it's full of cash, and he hands it to me, and it was heavy.
I had about a month where nothing happened online, and I really was like, "They're honest.
Like, this is crazy." And, um, literally a month later, I get a message on Facebook from somebody I went to high school with, and all it says is, "How much did you make from it?"
And I knew instantly. Instantly. And I was at work, and so I ran to the bathroom and I called my friend and I said, "I need you to report whatever you see." 'Cause I hadn't told anybody what had happened.
'Cause I thought it was my fault. I thought I had done something so stupid, like how could I be so stupid?
And it just... I, I had this shift, and then all of a sudden I get off work and it's everywhere. And my friend who I called calls me and she goes, "This is bad." She was like, "You're on Pornhub."
And I was like, "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God." Like, how do you, how do you take that, right? And I just was like... And she...
I hadn't explained to her what had happened, if anything had happened.
And so I called them. "What's going on? What is this? What happened?"
And they played it off like, "Oh, I don't know.
What happened?" And I said, "What do you, what do you mean it's everywhere?
My 63-year-old uncle on Facebook just got a message with this video. Like, every single person in my family is getting a message.
They're making memes of me. That's on every social media platform imaginable. My brother, who's in jail, called me to tell me about it.
What's happening?" "That's so weird. I don't know.
Sounds like you should hire an attorney."
And I said, "Ugh, I c- I c- I don't have the money for that.
I used all the money that I made from doing that to get safe housing. That was my first and last month's deposit.
I, I don't have any." And it was, like, just a absolute debilitating moment to realize that I had gone through that and I don't have anything left from that to help me in this situation.
And, and, uh, it was Andre Garcia that I was talking to, and he said, "Well, we could help you out, and you could come back and do another one.
What's it matter anyway if everybody already knows?" And he said, he...
'cause again, I'm 19, and he said, "Most attorneys have retention fees of about five grand.
You'd have to do a little bit more, but I could probably talk to the boss.
We could probably pay you five grand if you were to decide to come back to do more.
But again, what does it matter if everybody already knows?"
