The 15 year old Catholic school girl sex slave

"Sure, I can come over after church," Becki* said. "Choir practice is over at seven."

"Cool," Denise replied. "I think Heather and Jennifer will be here too. I was able to sneak a bottle of vodka from my aunt's house."

"Sounds fun," Becki whispered. "Sister Wilma just came in. I gotta go."

Denise put down the phone and looked up at the large man standing in front of her.

"She's coming, Eddie."

"Good job whore," he said as he patted her face. "We get her and that'll be the last one we need for a while. Businessmen pay extra for good little Catholic girls."

Denise turned away and looked out the window cursing the day she first tried cocaine. It was bad enough the things she had to do to get her fix. Now she was about to drug her friend Becki and let her be used by her pimp and his friends because they saw her picture and "wanted" her.

"Go get the room ready," Eddie said. "I'll call Mark and the boys and tell them what time to be here."

Denise walked to the guest room. Her parents usually kept it ready for her aunt to come and visit but since Aunt Margret spent most of her time in the hospital the room wasn't used much. That's where she would allow Eddie to bring over guys for her to have sex with in return for drugs. As she set up the video camera it was going to be the room where Becki would be turned into a whore like her.

"We really shouldn't be doing this," Becki said to Denise.

Denise put the shot of vodka in front of her friend that Eddie had doctored with some drug. Filling up her own shot glass, Denise did her shot. She filled the glass again.

"You can crash here tonight," Denise said. "Your folks will never know about it."

"I guess not," Becki said as she took a sip. "It tastes funny."

"I know," Denise said. "I think it's really old or something."

Becki finished off her drink. Denise filled it again.

"We can't get drunk," Becki said.

"We need a few more," Denise said as she looked at the clock above the door to the closet where Eddie was hiding. He told Denise that Becki would pass out ten minutes after drinking her shot. It only took seven. Eddie made Denise help him carry Becki's limp body into the guest bedroom where three men were waiting for them. They started the video camera and began to take off Becki's clothes. Denise snapped pictures while the men violated her friend in any way they wished.

"What did you do to me?" Becki whimpered. "I hurt."

"Just broke you in," Eddie said. "Had to find out what I could charge for you."

"I'm sorry Becki," Denise said as she put some antibiotic cream on a cut on Becki's leg. "Eddie made me do it."

"No," Eddie said. "Denise here sold you out for some nose candy."

Becki looked up in time to see her friend's face turn to anger as she looked at Eddie.

"Is that true?" Becki asked.

"All that matters," Eddie said before Denise could answer, "is that you belong to me now and you're doing to do whatever I tell you to do."

"I'm gonna tell the cops what you did."

"No, you're not," Eddie said as he pulled something from an envelope. He pushed Denise and knocked her to the floor so he could sit next to Becki. "Take a look at this."

Becki saw a picture of two men having sex with her. Eddie pulled out over a dozen pictures of her doing different things. She didn't remember any of it.

"That just proves you raped me," Becki said.

"No," Eddie said. "It proves that you came over to your friend's house, got drunk and you partied with a couple guys. It just shows you're nothing but a little slut."

"I'm not a slut."

"You are now," Eddie said. "What do you think your mom's going to say when she sees her little girl taking on two guys at the same time? You think she'll think you're a good girl? How about your dad? He'll be ashamed to be your father. How about I drop a copy of these off at the church so that Father McConklin can see them? I'm sure you'll be singing in the choir after he sees these beauties."

Becki felt a knot in her stomach tighten.

"Denise?"

"Denise is going to say that you bought the booze," Eddie said. "She's going to say that you threw yourself on those guys, right?"

"Yeah," Denise said as she looked away from her friend. "You asked for all of this."

The ache in Becki's stomach was too much and she threw up all over herself and the floor. When a little splashed on Eddie's pants, he slapped Becki hard across the face and knocked her back onto the bed.

"Clean her up," Eddie told Denise. "Then we'll tell her what she's going to be doing for us."

Are you disgusted yet? Good. I want you to feel horribly offended by what you just read. I want you to get ANGRY about it. Then I want you to read the next paragraph in this blog entry.

What you just read was kind of like you'd see on Lifetime Movie Network...it's based on a true story. "Becki" was a 15 year old girl who lived in the United States who was lured to a friend's house, drugged, raped and photographed. They really did threaten to show her parents and her priest the pictures of her rape and claim that she was wanting all of it. Without having to abduct her they were able to keep this teenage girl trapped in a life of prostitution and sexual slavery while still living in her parent's house. She was raped, beaten and used while her "handlers" made thousands of dollars off her humiliation. It happened right here in America. This isn't some third world country horror story...although you don't have to look far on the internet to find those stories.

Today is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. It's a day where modern-day abolishionists are coming together to make you aware of the slavery that is happening all around you. It's not just a problem that you hear about from missionaries in Thailand or Vietnam. Teen girls are being bought and sold from Boston, Philadelphia, Detroit, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Miami to Nashville. Right under your nose, there are teenage girls who are not going to be watching the premiere of American Idol because they'll be in a dirty cheap hotel room waiting for the next man to come in and pay for an hour with them. These men are doctors, mechanics, lawyers, teachers...men who sit in churches every single week and claim to be lovers of Christ.

This is a problem that the church needs to rise up and fight. We cannot continue to say we love Christ and love others if we're going to just continue to turn a blind eye to the fact in our very own backyards teenage girls are being bought and sold.

Honestly...do you realize that the teenage girls in your youth group are at risk to be turned into a prostitute? The good, church-going girls with the solid parents who taught them all the right things?

"Becki" was one of those girls. They got her. The kind of people that would do this can trap any teen girl you know.

The problem is very very real. If you think the fictionalized account of what happened to "Becki" is bad...the real stories of these girls is much, much worse. Most of it I don't think I would post here because it would result in my blog being blocked by filters.

If you're angry...do something. Check out these groups and get involved:

Also...make a stand today by posting on Twitter that it's National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. Use the hash tag #StopSlaveryToday.

We can end this...but we need to stop being silent. We need to stop trying to sugar-coat the problem and make it seem as if somehow it's not completely disgusting and repulsive. The lives of these girls depend on us.
