One young lady who said she was at a point in her life where she wanted to die after she had been sex-trampled between the ages 15-18 has spoken out about her three-year experience.
Allison Heagle (age 20) says she was 15 years old when she was groomed in Colorado by an older man she’d met at work. She later learned that he was much older.
‘I genuinely thought I lost my mind, I couldn’t form full sentences and was always on high alert, everything became a threat,’ she said, speaking to the Daily Star. It was quite traumatizing. I felt paralyzed fear all the time and wanted to end my life.
A 20-year-old woman claimed that she was bought and sold in Arizona and Colorado, and she was given alcohol and drugs daily so that she didn’t have to fight back.

Allison lived in Arizona until she realized that her older brother, 21 years old, had ordered others to follow her. There, she was again groomed.
Allison recalls the moment she was abused and how he took her to his parents’ house. After stealing her, he gave Allison copious amounts alcohol until she couldn’t walk.
Her story is that she realized she had to go after she got up and found herself naked in a crowded room of sick.
Allison claimed that it was then that the three year agonizing ordeal started.
According to Sheri, it led her to develop Stockholm syndrome. It is a psychological disorder that causes abduction victims to become emotionally attached to their torturers, regardless of how bad they are treated.
She said that she was constantly in fear and even though I was able to escape, the only thing I could remember was my traffickers, which would ensure I’d always return.
Allison claimed that her trafficker would be involved in many crimes and she went on to claim that the grooming led her to take the necessary charges against him.
But while some of her friends eventually turned a blind eye to her problems and put it down to drug addiction, Allison’s parents never stopped looking for her and would use photos she uploaded to try and track down her location.

The turning point was when a man came to set up cameras at an Airbnb, where the woman was held hostage.
He realized she was in serious trouble and gave her his number.
The text was sent two days later and she managed to escape. Allison claims that it happened just in time.
She spoke out about her captors and said, “They were talking in front me about their plans. Being sent to Mexico was my choice or being executed.”
Allison is now back home, having survived two years of her horrific ordeal.
It’s now been 2 years since Allison (pictured) suffered this terrible ordeal. She is currently back with her family.
To warn others about human traffickers, she has spoken out.
They include the opportunity to be given things that you do not have, or want.
Allison, who advised visiting humantraffickinghotline.org, sex traffickers often offer an extravagant life and pray on those most vulnerable – from addicts to the homeless.
She went on to say that someone being trafficked is often underweight, has bruises and is constantly in the company of a man or woman.
