Instagram influencer jailed for trafficking and slavery
Young women tell the BBC how Kat Torres lured them to her homes in the US, where they worked for no pay.
Scary read, honestly. I'm shocked she's only got 8 years so far considering she started grooming a 14 year old for essentially slavery. The summary of their interview with her in the end absolutely paints an unhinged psychopath - as if her actions weren't enough already.
I can't imagine the state of mind her victims had to be in to hand over 10s of thousands of dollars a month and somehow still not consider that they have the means to escape.
Kudos to the lady who managed to get away early and pursued the issue so the others could be rescued in the end, but ffs if only the law enforcement believed her earlier so much suffering could have been avoided...
It's just the first 8
How did the former model who partied with Leonardo DiCaprio and graced the cover of international magazines come to groom her followers and lure them into sexual exploitation?
If she partied with any celebrities, she was probably working on getting them to buy her product.
Her Rommate, Luzer Twersky, has a fascinating name.
Holy shit, this is dark.
When she arrived at Torres’ apartment, though, she quickly realised it did not match the curated perfection projected on the influencer’s Instagram.
“It was shocking because the house was really messy, really dirty, didn’t smell good,” she says.
I think a surprising number of influencers would be exposed as complete fakes if we got to see behind the camera.
These people are monsters.
