A Home for The Glory House

Caterina. An unsuspecting 15 year old when she was lured across the border to a hidden brothel in Georgia, she thought this man who had gained her trust was her first love. Instead, he was a shrude, dirty businessman - prolifferant at recruiting innocent girls into lives of slavery.

When immigration agents raided the nondescript house in the quiet Atlanta neighborhood, officers found slave quarters: 6-by-8 cold, uninsulated closets where young women were expected to have sex with 30 or 40 different men every night. The girls were beaten regularly.  They could not leave the premises or make contact with anyone without permission. 

“I lost the most important years of my life,” said Caterina. Years later, she still grapples with the trauma of her enslavement.

April. April fled home after years of sexual abuse by her grandfather. This was when she met the two girls who would eventually recruit her into prostitution. They told her she could have money, jewelry, cars. . . all she had to do, was sell her body.

Only, April was arrested. While she was on probation for that first arrest, things only became worse. She was drugged and locked in a strange room for over a week having contact with no one but the men who paid to be with her.

The drugs that she was introduced to during that period kept her in a haze as she fell deeper into the sex trade.

Samantha. As a teenager, Samantha was taken to a hotel by a female "friend". Unbeknownst to her, she was left alone in a room with a man who had paid for sex.

"She knew what was going to happen, but I didn't," Samantha said. "I didn't realize it until later."

Her friend, it turned out, was a recruiter for a pimp.

A lifestyle of drugs and alcohol followed, and eventually Samantha herself would recruit other girls for the same man.

She escaped that life only after she was caught in the act by authorities. Now Samantha is pregnant with a baby girl and wants to return to school and focus on raising her child.

Her former pimp is the father.

Kat. She was a mere 13 years old when she was approached by a pretty 19 year old girl who said she had a plan for Kat.

"She introduced me to her pimp. I didn't know. . . I thought he was a nice man, a father."

 Kat remembers finding herself in a hotel room dressed as a bride, convinced she was playing a game.

 She managed to plead her way out of this situation, but soon after she was tricked again. This time by a friend's father. "It came in a place where you would never suspect it, my middle school. . . they blindfolded us, and took us to a brothel in Broward County. They had paid her father $40 for each of us."

 She does not remember for how long she was there or how many men came by. She says, "They let me know what would become of me if I told anyone. They told me they knew where I lived, they knew my teachers, they knew my school, they knew everything about me. There was nothing I could do to protect myself. At 14 years old. I didn't know where to begin."
