Maria

My name is Maria and I am a slave in Austin. I came here to work in as a waitress in order to pay for my son’s medical care. Once I arrived I was forced to have sex with men. I am a sex slave.

(Mexico) One of my friend’s brothers knew I was needing work to pay for my little boy’s medical attention. He told me to contact a man in the United States who ran a Mexican restaurant and offered waitressing positions. The man arranged for my travel but once I arrived at the restaurant in Austin, TX he told me I had to sleep with men to pay off my debt. What happened to me over the next four months is horrible. My little boy died before I could escape and come home.
