Summary
<p>The one where I sit down with Rebecca to talk all about her story of redemption.<br />
<br />
Rebecca Bender thought she found her fairytale when she moved to Las Vegas with her boyfriend. But her dream became her nightmare when her boyfriend became her pimp at the age of 19. Trapped in a life of chaos, coerced into prostitution, abused and controlled by her trafficker, Rebecca was forced into sex trafficking for nearly six years. Many attempted escapes, two brandings, and several pimps later, Federal Investigators raided the home, allowing her an eventual avenue for escape.<br />
<br />
These days, Rebecca can be found either telling her story or helping others tell their own. Her trainings on this underground world are highly sought after by FBI, Homeland Security, undercover, SVU, medical professional and prosecutors. She speaks on leadership and founding non-profits, serves on the United States National Advisory Committee, Dept of Justice Human Trafficking Advisory Council, and the board of Exodus Cry.<br />
<br />
Rebecca shares her testimony of redemption in her new book<em> </em><a href="https://rebeccabender.org/in-pursuit-of-love" target="_blank"><em>In Pursuit of Love</em></a><em>. </em>On this episode we talk about her story and common misconceptions about sex trafficking.
