Alexis Martin was sex trafficked at age 14 by her pimp, Angelo Kerney. According to Alexis, Kerney forced her into sexual acts, exotic dancing, and selling drugs for him. Kerney repeatedly raped Alexis, making her feel as though the only value she had was her body and that nobody would ever love her.
