Recruiting a Prostitute--The Final Phase:

The Final Phase: Violence:

The victim begins to be beaten severely if she refuses or tries to escape. Early in their prostitution careers, victims are often beaten around the ankles with a coat hanger just to show “what will happen to you if you don’t do just as I say.” For many girls who are recruited very young, this begins when their first period comes. The girl may report that she cannot work because she has got her period. She is then beaten severely, thrown some sponges and told to stuff those up her vagina and get back to work. For many, this is the moment of awakening when they realized that they have been sucked into a terrible trap. They have become a slave and the pimp is their master. No love, no compliments now, only beatings, torture, degrading talk, and sex with whoever comes along with few bucks for the master.
