I think Peter is an incredible conversationalist, and I thoroughly enjoy the way he handles interviews, I just wish you were a little more aggressive in the interview of her use of the word trafficked. I have been involved with charities that internationally try to help trafficked women, and this is not a "trafficked" woman. Trafficked women don't get to "break up" with their traffickers, trafficked women never see their "P***y" as powerful, trafficked women don't get to go "renegade" when they feel like it, they are mostly poor, stolen women, from poorer countries, who, due to the fact they are most likely here illegally, are scared to go to authorities. I tell it like I think it is, this woman has no right to call herself trafficked imo, and if you listen to her closely, she gave Peter, many times, in her own words, where she tells you she was not the definition of trafficked. When I see her actions, and what she said, I think she is self-describing herself as trafficked for better marketability, and I believe what she did, to label herself as trafficked, is an insult to the real world of trafficked women.
Back in 1994 I worked in South Africa and one night in a bar in Johannesburg I got talking to a prostitute who was turning tricks in the bar. Long story short I paid for an hour with her but all we did was talk and her story was horrible and her parents got murdered in Zimbabwe and she moved to SA to live with a relative. We ended up going out a few times and I'd take her to lunch or out to dinner and I asked her if I could do you want out of this life? She didn't hesitate and said yes! I was lucky because I was working in close protection and I managed to get her a visa to fly home with me back to the UK. She was so so scared but I said give it 6 months and if you want to go back home ill buy the ticket. Fast forward to today and Lisa is married to one of my good friends who knows her past they have 2 beautiful kids and she's a nurse!
That's The Best Story I've Heard All Year. There Really Needs To Be More Compassionate People Such As Yourself Who Are In The Position To Help Others Who've Lived The Struggle & Actually Do It No Strings Attached Bc You Maintain Empathy & Kindness.
I worked for Annies nonprofit for a small amount of time and she is truly the best human you’ll ever meet. Energetic, loving, passionate, and REAL!!!! She was there for me when I needed her the most. May God continue to bless and protect her.
its funny she has all this empathy for pimps and sympathy for the girls but the johns she is all like lets put them in cuffs I knew a dude who was a sex addict they have a troubled past too
Being sexually violated as a child ABSOLUTELY set me up to be re-victimized in life. I was never trafficked or turned out. But I was a victim as a child of sexual abuse and it's like these predators knew and would target me. I am blessed I never got trafficked etc , but I have been sexually abused several times in my life! Ladies I am so happy to see you helping others!!! God bless!
After seeing Annie for quite a few minutes with this tough facade and talking about trafficking, being beaten, and getting her head shaved and humiliated, and all that in a matter-of-fact, sort of in-your-face way, it was heartbreaking for her to cry at just saying that she wanted to be loved. Many blessings to her.
@nleem3361 but many of you aren't capable of accepting love anymore. But it's not your fault. You've been brainwashed into believing that you're worthless due to childhood trauma or by bad actors that you've been manipulated by in the past... but at the same time, you overcompensate for this feeling of being truly unlovable and worthless with narcissism and a lack of compassion... it's a cruel cycle. Once you've been with so many people who use and abuse you for $. You become jaded and lose the ability to actually connect and bond with another person on a pure level. It's all just tricks and hustling until your tragic ending.
It's messed up how the physical damage barely leaves a mark, but the isolation and emotional damage rips out her soul. There's a lesson in there somewhere.
Thank you for bringing this to us. My Mom was trafficked in Vegas and NY. She had me when she was 15 years old. My Father was her Trafficker… On my birth certificate the fathers name is Blank. I never knew him. Don’t even know his name. I was raised by my Grandparents… This hit home for me. God Bless these Woman!
Notice the le.sbian behind her is walking BEHIND HER. That girl is pimping other girls. How would I know all this? First hand experience. Notice the girl in black only speaks when spoken too? Pimped. This woman is a total con, if Peter knew "The game" he'd know he was being conned with this lady's slick words and victimhood smokescreen. She's a liar and a cokehead who is still turning tricks
Yes, at times Annie seems to be glamorizing things. I think that’s the trauma speaking. It’s like she wants to believe it wasn’t so bad. This was eye opening and heart breaking.
I don't believe that. I think most prostitutes are actually manipulating men (who are the victims) Men have a weakness for sex , and these greedy selfish women are exploiting that vulnerability in men. Whats worse is they try blaming men for it. Look how happy the two main ladies are, bubbly and full of smiles. They enjoyed making EASY MONEY
I got into it with someone online who tried to say trafficking and prostitution doesn't happen in Vegas. The ignorance is real. Thank you for bringing attention to this serious issue.
That's what I was thinking!! Anyone who's been to Vegas for more than 30mins can clearly see the hooker situation. I can see one not being aware of the extent of the situation but Vegas is synonymous w prostitution.
Prostitution happens everywhere in the world. Its legal all over Europe, are you saying that some idiot would rsay that cr"p This lady in the film is making out that Las Vegas is a glittering wonder of a place. Most Europeans are not big fans of America but believe that las Vegas is a a real cesspit.btw, this person is winding you up to get a response, or they dont exist
Holy smokes, I was in Vegas years and years ago and this lady legit sat down next to me at a bar and chatted it up. I told her I was not interested but we ended up talking for 10-20 min, She was pretty cool, was pretty damn open about the situation. Wished her luck in staying safe. Good to she she has turned around.
@@yourtrappedinmygenjutsu It really is, It genuinely makes me happy to she she is doing so much good now. I spent about a week in Vegas at the time and my interaction with her was one of the things I remember the most. That was my first time talking to someone in her 'occupation', She opened my mind a little bit in regards to the women that are trapped in that world.
@@ianpadraig5263 I did not have a Rolex on but I had recently won 5k on a slot machine earlier that day and bought a $1,000 suit, I definitely looked like I had more money then I did.
Complex / Childhood PTSD is so real, and yet so many people have no idea it exists. It is the reason why so many people do drugs, alcohol, prostitution, etc. It hit home when she started to cry , and "just wanted to be loved". Isn't that what so many of us want?
@@hookerforjesusYou are loved, you are wanted, and you deserve a place in this world. Don't let anyone tell you differently, especially not yourself. It's the mantra I made for myself, and I hope it helps you and to help other people.
A lack of being truly loved is the reason for being vulnerable to being coerced into making many bad choices or having your choices made for us by predatory others.
I respect you so much, I met two traffickers in the 80's back. Back in Hawaii and another in Vancouver Canada, I was completely naive at the time, I had no idea what these two men where doing. I can tell you they where both black men and I can tell you where trafficked by black men, I guess this is not really an important factor, {race I mean} but this is so sad to know that a lot of these men are black. I am glad you got out and you are somewhat healed. @@hookerforjesus
I hope Annie stays safe. This exposure may be good to get her story out but it is dangerous for her too. I am going to support her organization. I think what she is doing is a true example of doing God's work.
Guys, I'm happy this video is bringing awareness and sparking debate. My benchmark for a good movie or video is that it has me thinking about it the day after, that it's not clear cut, that there are many perspectives and layers... something that might challenge my preconceived idea about a subject. This is what I always want to show in my channel without ever telling you how or what to think. This is a super complex topic and I'm glad you got to see this video. I also did another video where I got inside a legal brothel in Nye County, NV. That can be seen here: ua-cam.com/video/OYddpWg76DQ/v-deo.html
Hey Peter.... I locate missing kids, mostly before they are trafficked, and also pursue traffickers. These people are the real deal. (Sasly, there are many organizations that either do not have the heart in it -- or are still learning how to PROPERLY provide assistance.) I have not worked with them -- yet. But thanks to your video, I will be contacting them.
Peter, Please block some weirdos and trolls in the comments causing crap and gaslighting people. They are obviously human traffickers who are mad that this educational video is exposing the truth on human trafficking and prostitution. Keep up the good work! Saving lives to bring awareness!
I can tell she(understandably so) has a lot of conflicting emotions about her past vs. present…she goes from being proud of her past to later almost being awash in recollecting her trauma. Safe to say , wether by choice or not, this lifestyle takes its toll on a persons psyche.
It’s not exactly that. It’s a trauma response to talk about your trauma in an almost “proud” way. And not that we’re proud at all, it’s just a way of disconnecting ourselves from the trauma while we talk about it.
@@kimberlyv.3271 well i actually fully understand that. I’m a combat veteran who is “proud” of serving in Iraq , but not proud of the ptsd and the damaged it caused as a result of that time. I wasn’t passing judgement, just trying to relate . Thank you for helping me do so.
@@ayebingit’s okay to address this as emotionally damaged because that is what she/you (from what you said) are. But damaged doesn’t mean broken. Best of luck with your struggles ❤
Cannot stop watching. I'm surprised, that this lady openly speaks about her past career. Such videos worthy being shown on public TV to cast a light on prostitution problem and pay parent's attention to children upbringing. Thank you, Peter!
I went to Vegas with two girl friends for my 21st birthday back in 2009. We walked around and constantly had men approaching us with suspicious looking business cards claiming to be modelling agents and inviting us to work for them. Thank god we had enough common sense to know better. I can’t imagine how bad it is now, 14 years later.
I celebrated my 21st birthday with my family and boyfriend in Vegas last June, I had men and women come up to me while I was playing slots, asking if I liked to party, if I wanted to come with them to these night clubs 🥴
@@incumbentvinyl9291it happens all over the world. Maybe you should check yourself and have some humbleness and a lot less judgemental. The world would be a much better place.
I was a stripper for a few years and I met my husband at the club. He was a bouncer and he actually got me off the drugs and got me out of that life and I'm really glad the situation didn't turn out how it could have. The lady is right, there is a lot of money in blinding you and it's all just emotional manipulation so I was very lucky to have met an honest guy that I could trust that really did love me and didn't want anything from me. Hes a great dad, great husband and great best friend.
I really felt so bad for this woman… you can hear how deep this life goes with her. She can’t talk fast enough about it. It’s all so sad….this had to be difficult one for you Peter. There is a huge message here for parents…or if you are planning on having children. Love your children…make them feel loved…laugh with them..care and protect them. It starts with that. Thank you Peter for bringing a huge light to this.
@@Tar9pYou say she has zero accountability but proceed to say she said she chose it herself? That’s contradictory. Why cant you acknowledge that she chose it AND was simultaneously manipulated and taken advantage of? It’s not entirely her fault
She's a trauma tourist telling other people's stories as if they were her own to gain attention and sympathy. All of the places she is telling us she uses to hook didn't even exist in the time period she said she was doing it. She's talking about her special bathroom she used to hide out in Aria. Except Aria wasn't built until 2009. She said quit in 1998. She's trying to tell lies but doesn't know enough Vegas history to know how ridiculous what she's saying actually is. You got duped by a pathologically lying narcissistic. at 2:00 when she says she used to hook in all these hotels? Literally not a single hotel in that picture was built before 1998. None of them even existed.
Yes…I watched to the end….and to the person who said “she choose this life” …….well yes she DID choose that life…just like every addict. You choose food…drugs…sex…etc. whatever your addiction is…cigarettes! So when you are addicted you CHOOSE your addiction. Most of us are different with OUR choices….we choose things for different reasons. Addiction brings a person down to the depths of despair. When a woman is abused in her childhood/teen physically or sexually or both they most of the time never come out of it on the other side as a normal functioning person. They will many times not feel worthy as a person so they turn to men to try to satisfy them because that’s all they think they are good for….it becomes an addiction of a complete mental illness. Think about it….so sad.
Annie screaming warning to that call girl about the pearly gates is one to go down in history. She's a fighter, what a force of nature. And Ashley's gentle spirit is a great complement out there on the streets. May God bless and help them mightily!
Hesitated sharing this online. I used to be a stripper. I never did prostitution but there's so much that goes into stripping alone too. That place broke me, is all i can say. I hope a lot of women see that this industry isn't as empowering as it's deemed in today's society.
Annie, if you read this. STAY SAFE. The world is a better place with you in it. You are making a huge and important difference in people's lives that really need help. God bless you.
This documentary is living proof for people who don’t understand why having functional families and having good, understanding parents as role models are so important for society. The likelihood of women being manipulated and abused by these traffickers increases exponentially if they come from households where abuse is common because for them, this is natural.
As my Pastor once said, “The family unit is the bedrock of civilization itself.” Mess it up and you mess up society at large. I watched a Netflix documentary a few months back on prison inmate interviews. Without exception, every inmate said he was abused as a child.
Unfortunately, how functional a family is depends on their culture as well. Many cultures have traditionally been patriarchal with outdated ideals in which women were not considered equals. So, parents repeat these values and girls grow up to believe it. It's a very complex issue but moving towards a more feminist society is probably the best remedy for centuries of mistreatment against women.
@@rosiekapun207 The most important job in the world is that of a mother. I think it’s in Sweden that women are given a 5-year maternity leave. I’m certain that’s because these are the most crucial years in childhood development. If a child is not nurtured (loved, mirrored, cuddled, cooed at, picked up, gets food and diaper changes when needed, etc.), the baby will suffer from neglect and abuse that results in at least one Personality Disorder. The mother will transfer Oxytocin, the Bonding Hormone, during her pregnancy and it’s critical that ties continued after that, in those crucial years. And if that doesn’t happen, you get a Donald Trump….although he also has Psychopathy, a genetic mutation, passed down from his father. His mother was dealing with a difficult and bleeding pregnancy with her next child, Robert, when Trump was 2 years old. Thus, in comorbidity with the inherited Psychopathy, he developed Cluster A Paranoid Personality Disorder and Cluster B Narcissistic Personality Disorder. In China there used to be a One Child Rule, due to overpopulation. In that culture, sons are expected to care for their parents in ther elderly years. As such, if they had a female child, she was either aborted or put in an orphanage, where she and all the other female babies didn’t get the Nurturing every child needs and deserves. In Christianity, God sees men and women as co-equals - joint heirs to the throne, but it’s evident they have differing roles. There will be trouble if the husband does not submit his life to Christ, but if he does, his wife will be more that happy to follow her husband, as the leader of the family. Jesus was a Servant Leader who led by love. Thus, a husband is to server his wife, and she is to serve her husband. Feminism is simply a rebellion against men who do not lead and love women as Jesus did. Women had numerous prominent roles in the Bible. One excellent book and it’s follow-up, was 12 Extraordinary Women, followed by 12 Ordinary Men….written by my well-known and much loved Pastor, John MacArthur. His large church is truly bustling with happy, well-adjusted families. But the world wants to tear the family apart, and a man want to be in control, because they reject this God of Love, Compassion, Service, Healing, as a Wonderful Counselor and Peace of Peace. He suffered brutally and died for teaching such things, and at a time when women were still nothing more than chattel. He taught men how to love women, not abuse them. And he said, while surrounded by children, “If anyone harms one of these little ones, it is better that a millstone be hung around his neck and he be drowned in the bottom of the sea.” That’s Capital Punishment, so you can see how deadly serous he took child abuse. By contrast, in cultures like Afghanistan, and Thailand, Pedophilia is the norm. Try catching up with Diane Langberg, Ph.D., a Psychologist and Pastor’s wife who’s a 50-year veteran Trauma Counselor, has a private practice in Philadelphia, and has done her work on 6 continents. But make no mistake, her focus has always been first and foremost to take on victims who have been abuse by their so-called” Christian husbands. Jesus and the Apostle Paul both warned of false converts, and repeatedly did so. But if men truly humble themselves, bowing their knee to Christ, learning his ways, that’s where the wonderful and healthy marriages and families begin.
@@lidiapietrusza5014 there are a lot of men with a lack of empathy in the comments for her, it reminds me of how my friend was talking to a coworker who said he’s only cries in stories with male leads but not with women. So many men have the emotional intelligence of a paper bag. I’m lucky enough where I have a boyfriend who empathizes heavily with both men and women. Probably helps that he made friends with a lot of girls in highschool, wheras most boys spent more time just trying to find a girlfriend
WOW! This is an amazing journalistic feat! Only an independent content creator could do this, get it published & seen by thousands of people without ramifications. Delighted to see journalism elevated to this by "regular people" such as Peter. Thank you for this long, in depth look at what goes on everywhere, not just Vegas. We, as a society really need to see what we have created. It's time to choose what values we truly embrace & stand for them. Thank you, all of you, for making this video.
Yup, now millions. Nothing better than youtube long form vids. Just found this channel a week ago and can't stop watching. Hopefully these women (and men) can realize what happened and get out safely
I worked high end Security in Vegas back in the early 80’s and Annie is dead on. There were other “organizations”aside from the pimps that promoted this and were a real problem also which I won’t comment on but I’m glad to see Annie’s group is trying to make a difference and help these women. Great interview
She should be proud of the organization she’s established. Major kudos. It’s good to see her giving back and helping others avoid making the same mistakes she did. Also awesome content on your channel Peter! Many of us would have no clue about these organizations and people you document. @PeterSantenello
When I was in the Navy stationed in San Diego CA. I knew a girl who was a victim of trafficking. Her street name was Candy. We were getting to know each other by hanging out and having coffee at Dennys in the late hrs of the evenings after leaving the clubs. I was never a trick for her; we would sit and talk about her life and what made me join the military. We started to get feelings for each other as I was trying to get her off the streets. I had to go out to Sea for a month doing coastal patrols and when I got back I went to the Dennys we'd meet at and I was sitting there for a long time. A young lady approached and asked me my name and I told her. She said she was Candy's real sister and that Candy was killed while I was out to sea. She said she wish Candy would have met me a long time before we did; she said Candy always wrote to her about me. I know she's in heaven now looking down on me because I was trying to get her life changed around. Thank you Annie for what you are doing out there in Vegas.
It says a lot that you were likely the only guy who didn’t try to take advantage of Candy. God saw everything you did for her!!! He stores your treasures up in Heaven, Gene. 💕
So sorry for your loss, I too wish Candy had met you much earlier, and that you went on to have a life and family together. I hope your own life turned out well 💜x
I was a sex worker in 2017. It was horrible. My first night was in Vegas. I cried in a way I never cried before. My soul cried. I wasn’t trafficked but I was mentally manipulated into getting into it and staying for 6 months. I am now a licensed mental health therapist and am fully saved by Christ. God bless these women. Amazing work. I am in tears.
They arent the best actors. Its just many of the people they deal with, are naive and desperate for love, for discreet "relationships" etc, so they are easily fooled. But they all are the same, got the same bullshit lines and are very see-through. They prey on the weak, so of course they can easily fool them.
Something Ashley and Annie talked about as a common thread was the money addiction. Even though they didn't get it, they got to touch it and carry it and squirrel some away. This is quite impressionable for many. Cash flow is a powerful motivator. It keeps us in dead end jobs, bad relationships, and corrupt organizations.
@@sweetpeasandyarrowaranchdi8327 I mean, as a man, there are plenty of illegal things I could do for quick money, but I made a choice to be a law abiding citizen. A lot of these women choose this life as much as she denies it.
@@ivangotyokes So you're denying her trauma of being Trafficked? Have you heard of Stockholm syndrome? Every heard of girls being drugged to have sex then being addicted to drugs?
She was not held captive by money. She was actively trafficked and set in a system in which she was actively oppressed and set in a cycle she couldn’t escape as many women in sex work are.
A girl I went to high school with moved to Las Vegas, became a prostitute and was murdered with her body cut up in pieces on the side of a highway when she was only 21. If you saw the town we grew up in you’d be shocked. Small middle-upper class town. Literally no crime. Great schools with a very high percentage of kids going to college. Everybody knows everyone and in general is a real community feel. Her family seemed like nice, normal middle class family. It just goes to show you, it can literally happen to anyone.
Well, we can’t assume her parents were abusive but we also can’t assume they weren’t just because they were upper middle class. You never know what goes on behind closed doors. She could also have got some trauma outside of her family. You just never know 😞 it’s very sad, I hope she has found peace.
My daughter was a cocktail waitress in Baltimore. One night two men in her section kept asking her to go to Florida and that they had a house there where a lot of other girls lived too, they hung out & the beach, had all this fun, etc. Luckily we had recently attended an informational meeting on trafficking. They bugged her all night long & she kept saying “no, I have a boyfriend. I’m not interested.” They kept on until almost closing, then got really angry and left. These people unfortunately are EVERYWHERE.
They are bad. I was a cocktail waitress in the 90s. A guy used to come in a lot and tip me and another girl very well. He asked me if I wanted to make $80k as a secretary and that I didn't need to know how to type. He said I would need to fly to the UK, Turkey, and Egypt. When I told him I had many years experience in HR he stopped having me serve him. A month later that girl supposedly went on a cruise with him and we never saw her again. Another guy asked me if I wanted to be a flight attendant on a private plane. I told him I couldn't because I had children but after the other offer I wondered if that was legit or not.
sorry to say, but who would literally fall for that line that just has suspicious sex trafficking, written all over it lol I think anyone of average intelligence or better would hear that shit and obviously decline but not only that you need to fucking report! They need to be reported to the FBI trafficking is an interstate crime. These guys are in Baltimore. They’re talking about Florida you call the FBI you don’t call the local PD they don’t give two fucks because one of these guys leave their jurisdiction there’s nothing they can do she should’ve informed, she could’ve save someone’s life and she should’ve had them removed from the restaurant. I mean these guys play tough but they’re only tough to their own stable to their own hoes. When push comes to shove they’re not gonna do shit against a civilian I mean, what are they gonna do seriously people teach your kids and teach them right you don’t need to back down to anybody.
Sounds like your daughter just has good parents. Most girls with decent parents would be afraid to do something like that with strangers. Girls who are from bad environments combined with no Dad are looking for an escape, so they don't see it the proper way. IMO
I worked in retail on the strip for 20 years and watched the pimps, prostitutes, and people handing out cards. Most security and police didn't care. We saw the same people every day.. God bless you for your work. Thank you for this video. Hope it gets a billion views and raises awareness.
Wow. Annie, you will have one of the largest crowns. I am blown away to tears by your boldness and courage, your perseverance and heart for others, your organizational skill. Wow. I have lived a very safe life. It saddens me deeply that people can be so cruel to each other, so broken, and so “dead.” Thank you for opening my eyes, heart and mind to understanding and knowledge.
She's so engaging. I think she's incredible. Honest, strong and has so much drive. I've got respect for her. Turned her life around and is determined to do good. You can tell she's lived through hell. She detaches herself from the trauma that's why she's matter of fact. But deep down just wanting to be loved that's the deepest trauma. 💔 All the best girl. ❤
I’m glad that Annie was very clear about the childhood sexual abuse and neglect that victims of traffickers come from. It’s a important key that I’ve found often people aren’t cognizant of when it comes to why girls would get into these industries to begin with.
Yep men have intentionally created the world we live in. It was always the purpose behind social media, as we see now. Old men victimizing little girls (and little boys) is quite literally the story of the world. Men destroy, use, and abuse. They are the pedophiles who rape and groom these children and they are the sicko’s that watch it on their phones with their children and wives. Our society should just quit pretending.
Man, I despise traffickers and sadists so much. I personally don't think someone that is willing to dehumanize a person to that extent can be reformed, especially since so many that get out just end up doing it again. It should be an automatic life sentence in many, if not most, cases since they didn't mind imprisoning someone in an unending nightmare.
EVERYONE is a human being with a story, as Annie said. Terrorists who have done despicable, sadistic actions CAN learn to see & FEEL what they've done. Remember, those who are drawn into these kinds of activities have been SHUT OFF from their own humanity. It takes time & patience to reach them. Then even more time & patience for them to begin AT-ONE-MENT. It can be done. We find our humanity by guiding them to theirs. We LOSE our humanity with judgment & UNFORGIVENESS.
@@bertanelson8062 I do believe and surprisingly agree with what you are saying, but it would take A LOT of something (Idk what) for that miracle script-flip to happen. Sadistic human traffickers like Peter Scully (I don't recommend looking him up if you don't know who he is due to the story being rage inducing) are so unapologetically far gone in their sick ways that it makes it arguably impossible to believe someone like that can be rehabilitated, unless we get to an some sci-fi esque era where we can just go inside a sadist's head and clean up whatever is propelling them upon their arrest. I personally don't know how rehabilitating them can be done, but I won't argue against forgiving them or recognizing their humanity while incarceration. I'm not for torture or anything, just life in prison so they can't return to harming anyone or get revenge on anyone. Long comment on my end, sorry. Respect to you for what you said, though.
@@bertanelson8062 Dang. I think YT shadow banned your proceeding comment due to some algorithm buzzword or something (it does it too sometimes if you link outside sources in the comments). I can't find it here, but I was notified you sent another comment and what I could read in my tiny inbox was enticing. Send it again if u can or want to.
But they’re not showing you as she is a Christian and she runs a ministry that helps prostitutes get out of prostitution Las Vegas tried to shut her down at one time make that makes sense
As a former casino employee I saw this all the time. Girls not old enough to be in a casino were snuck in. A woman hid out in one of the casino restrooms for over 12 hrs. She never said she was hiding but I'm sure she was. Security checked on her & asked her to leave at around 9pm. It was wild seeing someone pretend to do their hair & makeup for hrs & hrs.
Yes they may have loved it because it felt like a hide away home that they felt safe for a moment. She said something about that. Is that a bad thing to want to feel safe? She was being forced to make a quota 24/7 She couldn’t come home unless that quota was met.
Note to people who are confused about her seeming to glamorize her past: darkness can still be exhilirating, and you can “reminisce” about those times of darkness even if you know they were bad for you. I reminisce about days of former drug and alchohol abuse even though that was a dark time in my life. I was miserable at that time but I still found points of happiness and joy in that painful downward spiral. Non-addicts and people who have never experienced the dark side of themselves might never understand this. I don’t want to go back to those days, but there were still good moments that i miss. I’m sure she feels the same. It doesn’t mean she would ever go back or recommend it.
yeah me too. i wouldn’t even say it’s a coping mechanism. i’m years & years past that life (using substances like the original commenter, not pr0sttn) i think the reality is, if something sucked 24/7, 100% of the time, nobody would ever get addicted to it. whether it’s money, drugs, or just a certain lifestyle. there has to be some yin to balance the yang or it wouldn’t be alluring in the first place. once you realize the road leads to darkness, you (hopefully) heal.. but that doesn’t take away from the initial exhilaration and love affair.
I think it's important to not hide that part. When a young person is warned about harmful lifestyles and they're painted only in an ugly light, if they go out and realize the allure/temptation behind it, they're bound to think their guardians lied to them and do it anyway, only to realize the truth too late. But if we're honest in how alluring and even "fun" a destructive lifestyle can be, but put the weight on the depressing consequences and what those lifestyles are ACTUALLY doing to you, I think maybe you're giving them a fuller picture of what to look out for. Just my opinion though
Thank you for being thoughtful and insightful. Some of these comments are astoundingly naive and ignorant. I'm sure Annie has heard all the bullshit we see in the comments here. Good thing she's a strong person doing good things in the world that mean a lot more than being a willfully dense asshole on the internet trying to tear people down. It's not even reasonable to assume she's glamorizing her past. She would still be living that life instead of actively combating it if that were the case. Some people want to be blind. They don't want to see the rough parts of humanity. It's easier for them to dismiss it and be ignorant.
Omg, she's SO annoying. She is pushy, and a hypocrite. She starts yelling at the other woman who might be trafficked , but yet when Peter asks her about if she ever felt guilty when she was going with married men (great question, btw), she said she didn't have time to think about that. Well, maybe those women passing out the fliers don't have time to think about it, either. Jeez, she is a big hypocrite. And she cannot say EVERY one who is a prostitute is being trafficked (that is not a fact)-. When Peter brought ups the prostitute form the Bunny Ranch or Cat House who was happy, she completely put in her own bias, and disregarded Peter's observation. Sorry, but she just come off as crazy. The other woman, on the other hand (with the glasses) was much more clear headed and made a lot of sense.
I had a friend who bought a small business on the iconic Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles about 15 years ago. She had a pure soul and was somewhat naive about the seedy realities of the street. She quickly realized a lot of her customers were young girls who were obviously working the street. She would even see young teenage girls who were being pimped. When she wasn't working, she decided she wanted to help some of these girls get off the streets. She basically tried to do what Annie is doing. Sadly it took such a toll on her that she ended up committing su***de. Unlike Annie, she was a complete stranger to that world, and she felt these girls were so brainwashed that her efforts were all a waste. She had such a positive spirit, but being unable to help these girls, especially the young kids, completely broke her. What Annie is doing is truly remarkable. It takes someone like her who has been through that dark tunnel and made it out the other side to do what she's doing.
There's nothing empowering about selling any part of your body. It's still an industry created by men. Just because there's a market for it, doesn't mean there should be a market for it. This goes for cannibalism, pedophilia, and human trafficking. These avenues are alive and well BECAUSE there's a market for it. It's disgusting. Flesh should not be for sale. This is a male driven industry that uses the facade of "women empowerment" to keep this industry going. Society is what forces women to do these things in the first place. It's all wrong. There's is nothing empowering about it for women. It still only benefits men and women that think otherwise are brainwashed.
Labor trafficking... of the Asian community... oh my god. Wow.. thank you for bring this to us, Peter. I was almost looped into this lifestyle back in 2015. God had his hand in my decisions and I decided to stay home.
@@mikehart4742 i don’t know what religion or denomination op is, but i don’t believe “sky daddy” makes decisions for me either. we have free will for a reason. He leads me in a certain direction, & i can chose whether to chose that path or not. but ultimately, He’s always there
@@thoticcusprime9309, One day you will kneel on your knee ans ask for forgiveness to God and I hope it won't be late for you. God will judge each and one of us. My advice to you is look up, seek him and you will find him.
There is a huge difference in being a sex trafficking victim and being a prostitute. Mixing them up is honestly very disrespectful to those who go through the horrors of being trafficked. It seems that this woman parades this as her identity and gets excited when she talks about it, which is fine, that's her story, but to me, it seems quite obvious that she was a prostitute not a trafficking victim. She even said she loved it.
Imagine this world if every father stepped up and took care of his kids, especially his daughters. Showed them by example how to be a good man. This world would be a lot different.
There are too many children are born out of wedlock. Don't have a kid unless you are in a committed married relationship with a good man and stop trying to use babies to trap men.
What shocks me is the ones that do have both parents, like old girl. There’s too many people chasing money and dreams instead of being realistic, and like most humans, will do the least effort for the greatest reward. Women need to start being taught that they’re bodies are sacred and only to be shared with someone you’re in love and a relationship with, and NEVER EVER SELL THEIR BODIES TO MAKE MONEY. It shouldn’t even be a consideration. It should sicken and disgust anyone to even think about it.
Its both parents not only the father. Some women get into this and other things because of a emotional traumatic wound from their mothers. If both cant be there emotionally, physically, or mentally for a kid.. they should not have a kid.
I worked as a stripper and Annie is right…we lie to ourselves, believing one day we can have the fantasy…while our lives become a living nightmare.😖🙏🏻🤯 When I came to the end of myself, Jesus gave me the strength to get out. It took 12 years.😬
Ma'am God bless you. I thank and praise God you are free. These women don't seem remorseful for all of the grief their disgusting lifestyle has wrought.
@@sigma-yn3qd she means the Pretty Woman treaent, the rich man taking a hooker, showering them with luxury, and rescuing them from all their problems. Yet, they curb most willing guys.
100%. it's all smoke and mirrors. And illusion. Grateful some awareness is being shed in this video of what the truth is in this profession (and yes-i would include stripping).
Somebody give this woman a channel. She's should be a therapist. Her energy and positivity is wholesome. Didn't think I'd be able to watch this until she got into it. I was hooked listening to her chatter.
The Ex "Sex worker" in this video is a radical anti-sex work campaigner: She is fighting against ALL in person sex work instead of listening to respected anti-trafficking organizations, including the largest anti-trafficking organization in America, Freedom United which is pro-sex work. She said Kamala Harris was wrong for being for the decriminalization of sex work. And is trying to abolish it completely, which is the worst thing in the world.
She should also get a bodyguard. I think she could be in danger. I don’t think this mafias are happy for what she does and what she knows. God bless her and protect her 🙏
@@Bill-sl8dy I don’t get how those people go from doing that work to being ant it. Not every girl has a P a lot of them do it out of survival or some love the fast money and the hustle. Not everyone is being trafficked the game could be a steppingstone for girls. I wish more people with positive experiences share there story and how they used it as a steppingstone in life.
@@Jazzy46UMMM I would think it's the same as being a drug user that gets clean. Personally I don't agree with any of it. Human flesh should not be for sale. This is why the world thinks anything goes. There's no moral values anymore.
I mean the traffickers are no different than the 40 something year old sicko hiding in the bathroom on his phone watching his pedo porn while have little kids of his own… or basically the average guy… anyone who watches porn is the exact same thing.
@@radarnj8043your Bible tells you to put them to death that's what Jesus would do and if you choose to believe on Christ and receive life eternal you'll get to see what he would do because he'll be back to rule and rein with a rod of iron with those of us who chose to believe helping rule n rein.
Annie knows that God loves the world so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus, to die for all our sins, so whoever believes/trusts in Jesus will not die in their sins and be sent to hell, but will live forever with the Lord God. Life with God or death in hell, we all get to choose. Choose life with God!
I can see her own “ Pretty Woman “ movie come to fruition . Her knowledge and wisdom about “ The Life “ is incredible. Miss Annie needs a film bio about her life . Her life and “ Hookers For Jesus “ needs to be a movie . I could see Tara Reid playing “ Fallon “
The sad fact is that Pretty Woman is a fairytale. One of these girls would be hard pressed to find a stable rich gentleman to carry them off to live happily ever after. Thank goodness Jesus is willing to rescue them no matter what they’ve been through or done.
I've been watching a lot of videos about prostitution and it's just shocking how many give 100% of their income to their pimp. The way she describes trauma bonding and grooming with gifts etcetera is spot on.
How often do you see films made about sex workers who want to do the work? It’s not that they are rare or don’t exist- it’s that the topic of trafficking gets the air time due to the topic itself.
@7eyesopenwide168 I personally know a lot of sex workers who enjoy or have enjoyed that line of work. But none of them were street hookers who gave everything to a pimp. I just think you've got to be really brainwashed and/or traumatized to give up all your earnings to anyone like that.
I met her on a flight to Vegas from NYC. She told me her life story and she didn't leave anything out. What she does now is a great thing to help people get out of that lifestyle.
I lived in Vegas from 94 thru 97. I saw these women all the time and it broke my heart. I moved there 2 months after turning 21. Young and knowing nothing about life. I'm thankful for the relationship I always had with my mom and that I never chose this path. This lady has an amazing testimony and I'm glad she is here to tell it.
Very unfortunate stories - but thank you to the women for sharing their stories about this horrific practice and thank you Peter for bringing more light onto this topic.
I had a stopover in Vegas a few months ago, I'm British and Vegas has a glossy reputation here. I couldn't believe what I saw it's dystopian. I was solo travelling and every single uber driver asked me to be careful as women are commonly trafficked there. Every public toilet had warnings advising women to call a helpline if they're a victim of trafficking. Aside from that the slot machine zombies were disturbing and I went to a 7/11 where no less than 6 ppl stole from them within 10 minutes. It's easily one of the places where I've felt the least safe and that's after travelling to 50 countries including the Middle East, Latin America and West Africa.
Yep , I'm born and raised In vegas , although Vegas has always had its ruff areas with gangs especially in the 90s , Vegas is Isane now ! It's not the same an it's dangerous as hell no matter what neighborhood your in 😢
This channel is a public service. I would never watch a news channel these days because it's all so convoluted. You are literally providing the specials and content about the world around us that we all look for and want to know. Thank you.
This woman is a victim of her own greed and bad choices. She was not trafficked in the true sense of the word; there are actually people who get kidnapped and trafficked and have no choice but to do what they are told. This one brought her pimp to Vegas! She's quite proud of being a prostitute, and proud of her pimp; all you have to do is listen to her words. But... In the US, everyone is a victim these days. Lol
100%! And she's getting government money to run that safe house. And those donations are going into her pocket. She's cashed up being a victim from the Starbuck's, surgeries, fingernails, and designer clothes.
I kinda got that vibe from her too. She was basically on her own, and was madly in love with her pimp, which explains why she brought him to Vegas to make more money. I wouldn’t be surprised if her pimp got tired of her, and then broke up with her, which then led to her drug addiction.
@@tonyfoo9523 I wouldn't be surprised if she herself was pimping out girls. The term "Sex worker" has been legitimized by politicians and the media. She could take government money for the program, and have a list of escorts at her disposal. She sent up a lot of red flags for sure.
I hope this woman gets all the gratitude and recognition that she deserves for her efforts. Most people who escape grom a traumatic nightmare never even look back, but she's had the courage not only to look back, but to go back in day after day to help other people out. God bless her and all of the brave people helping her. And thank you, Peter, for helping expose this sinister cycle. I hope this video gives some people the shame they deserve, and others the hope they need. 💓
Oh pls, she was not trafficked. She tells you she liked that her "p***y had power" A trafficked woman never feels like that, she could have left whenever she wanted, thats not "trafficked"
30 is the average body count for women by age 21. All women are basically prostitutes until the hit the wall in their 30s and then switch to "where are all the good men".
Something is off with this rescue home. She said most beds are open because lack of staff. She clearly has the money for it. Look at the car. I think she says that so she can get more funding. Plus, turn down govt funding because you have to report where the money goes and if caught misappropriating its more time. This reeks of a BIG CON.
About a decade ago, I lived in Las Vegas and worked at a KFC. I remember this woman came through the drive thru and her name on the credit card said Hookers for Jesus! She has had such a fascinating life, I'm so happy she got out of her trafficking situations and is now able to help other women in similar situations!
Throughout the film, an outstanding human document was revealed. I think this is a cinematic pinnacle worthy of awards. Thank you so much Peter for bringing this to light in your wonderful way. Thank you to Annie Ashley and Tina for your honesty and the important work you do. You spread light in the world.
Being a guy that was traffic since I was 4 I only wish there was more help for guys and thankfully you and more people are out here to help expose and pass the help
and our government is making a fortune off of the thousands 3 and 5 year olds girls and boys coming over the border every week and being sold to our leaders to be raped tortured and then murdered, think about it,the goverment knows that this is happening but they let it continue and leave the border open because they are in on it,plain and simple.
I don't find this lady credible. I have no experience to fall back on, she's just too over the top. Like that guy who wrote about his drug recovery and it filled with hyperbole. I'm sure she's been through hell, but some of her stories don't ring true.
She wasn’t trafficked she chose to do it. You’re basically saying women can’t make a choice. Can’t decide what to do so they shouldn’t be in positions of power. If they’re that weak, she could’ve left at any time she chose to make easy quick money.
Many many years ago (20+ years at this stage), I worked at a shelter for girls/women who, for the most part, didn't decide to go into this lifestyle by their own choices. The place I worked at had a 'no male policy' with the exception of another social worker and a psychiatrist. These girls were literally dumped on our doorstep, beat to pulp, and we'd try our hardest to help them any way we could. It has changed me significantly and watching this breaks my heart, that nothing has changed. The only thing that gives me hope, are people like Annie, who will keep fighting and let their voice be heard. Keep doing what you do Annie, those girls all need your voice... and Ashley, too. Well done girl ♥ Thank you for highlighting this @PeterSantenello .
@@MsWest-tf6xu yes a good one , I went and seen it last week 😊 the sound of FREEDOM very good true story , played by the actor who played Jesus Christ in the passions of Christ "
I moved to Las Vegas, got a nice apartment and a pimp lived upstairs (no women lived there but his sister)....nice guy, friendly/chatty/ very young (drove a PT Cruiser with a RR grill).....fast forward 15 years and he's standing before a judge explaining why his ho died, "she didn't make enough that night, he beat her and tied her up with a electrical cord, she was crying out for water, bound in the bath tub...next morning she was dead".....he explained to the judge "that she was his property and he meant well"......Judge gave him life without parole...he could not believe it!......he thought his daddy taught him well (he was a pimp also)....he thought everything was normal.......btw, I know Annie, she is the real deal....saw her on the street pleading with a ultra burnt out prostitute that was well into her 50's!
Stunning story..I was a print journalist in London 80/90’s and thought I’d unveiled this life ( the dark side of this interpretation of “dating”) but this lady and her extraordinary / inspiring, survival ,thriving story is exquisite …Thank God for life savers, like her. I’m watching , from Dublin, Ireland…
One of my best friends and I were approached while walking the Vegas strip and asked if we were “working” of course we both said NO immediately put off. It was even worse when we went to LA. I never knew how common prostitution was down there until I saw it for myself. And what’s even more crazy is that some of the women that live that life are SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL inside AND out, it really makes you wonder how they ended up there. So sad.
It sucks that this experience is so common because demand is high. As a community, we should teach men that their worth isn’t measured by how many women they sleep with. It’s perfectly ok to have desires but not ok to take advantage of another sentient being who they know has limited opportunities. The worst part is a good majority of these type of men know, they just don’t care because it’s a woman problem then go onto be afraid when they have daughters.
prostitution is the oldest profession for the reason everyone has their stories. Unfortunately, I knew a "mother" who sold her daughter to the worse man you can imagen for just candies and alcohol. you can't count these stories of how a father is raping his daughter etc. it's not that rare as people think.
@@kurrwa The oldest profession is actually farming for women. This is where the hunter-gatherer mentality came to play in our society. Women like her are just scum. However, most mothers don’t prostitute their children although I won’t deny that the sexual exploitation of children is rampant which still doesn’t count as prostitution since it’s perpetrated against a child who can’t legally consent.
Every single one of those ladies working at the rehab center for victims are absolute angels. I pray for all the success and safety of this organization
Pffft! I don't believe it was bad. I think most prostitutes are actually manipulating men (who are the victims) Men have a weakness for sex , and these greedy selfish women are exploiting that vulnerability in men. Whats worse is they try blaming men for it. Look how happy the two main ladies are, bubbly and full of smiles. They enjoyed making EASY MONEY
I am currently trying to help my adopted daughter, she is under the thumb of a pimp in Wa state,pregnant, and addicted. She was abused/S.A,as a child by a bio family member,before she came to live with me.THANK YOU,ANNIE,for all that you do!! And thank YOU, Peter,for shining a light on this!!
Wishing you and your daughter safety and peace. Thank you very much for trying to help her. Not every parent does. I hope with all my heart she and her children do ok. Holding them and you in my heart and thoughts. It may be a bit of a hard journey but hang in there. It will be worth it. Thank you again 💗
When I first moved to vegas I would get approached by pimps multiple times. People always assumed I was a working girl but I wasn’t. I worked at a hair salon on the strip. The amount of offers you’ll receive on any given day is astounding. Not every lady walking alone on the strip is a working girl.
Peter next time you talk to a women like that please blur everything not just the face most of ya might not get it but body structure and accent says a lot
Absolutely great! I danced in strip clubs for 13 yrs. Started at 19. Then became a Nurse. I trafficked myself 😢. Thinking i was not capable of any other profession. I also rehabilitated myself. But i could of used resources to get this done faster! Great to see Annie's business helping others!
I had a friend that wanted to be a nurse and her abusive mother told her she would only be a stripper, but our friends convinced her to go through school to be a nurse and she was, but then she got leukaemia and passed away, I’m glad to hear you went on to be a nurse :)
Was there anything in your childhood that you think was lacking that allowed you to make these type of decisions to put money before your self respect? Any type of abuse mentally, emotionally or physically? Or even neglect?
It’s wild that childhood trauma is the root to most peoples problems. I love that they are bringing awareness to this! We need to help heal each other. We only live ones we all deserve better! ❤
Frazy.. it takes a trauma moment for us to change from confusion/hurt to clearity of the heart and mind. Otherwise we die young (spritually)! Vietnam veteran , 1970. I was 21.
My best friend was a vice detective here in Las Vegas for years. She is now in homicide, but sadly, there are a lot of commonalities between the two. She worked very hard to try and help trafficked girls. She was always working. Her family was in town, and she got a call from a working with an upcoming case against her pimp, and she had to talk to the girl for two hours on her day off to keep her on the path to testify. It’s so heartbreaking, and what these ladies are doing is so wonderful! I wish I were able to volunteer and help them somehow. Thank you for sharing this. I’m loving your series about my city. You are covering some very important stories.
@@standdown4929 I’m retired 3 years from LVMPD. We have multiple detective bureaus and each one has a few lieutenants. Do you know which bureau or when he was on? It doesn’t ring a bell to me.
These are really just stories of white women who got caught up in aspects of black culture. These women were born with value. They didn't have to make their value like a man does. They could have found a good man but chose to find a predator. It's more frustrating than sad.
He is so pushy victim blaming, keeps asking her why she didnt see it coming, why she didnt just leave, she literally describes her torture and he is such privileged white man about it
I lived in Las Vegas and was trafficked for a few years. I was jumped so many times because of trying to leave pimps. ❤❤❤so many people don’t realize how cruel and hard that life is and to overcome. I live and from Utah. I was trafficked from here to Vegas. Thank god the cops did a prostitution sting and saved me
I never worked with a pimp but even doing escort work alone left a shallow dark misty nothingness of a person behind. Still recovering years later. Thank you to both women for sharing and thank you for the doc!!
Sorry to say this but yet look at the profile picture you have up it definitely sends mixed signal’s on weather you are truly done doing or having people look at you as a sexual object I hope for your sake you are truly done with or portraying that lifestyle
Ignore the comments below. I’m so proud of you and you do not have to give up your sexuality and femininity. Reclaim it and fk anyone that has an issue with it.
I feel like people that have dealt with trauma like her don’t realize, she’s very equipped mentally to work at a high level of trafficking investigating. I mean, the way her trauma forced her brain to process hard realities, left her with such a capable brain and such a good way to articulate hard concepts. She really should know how smart she is and that her noble cause would be deemed honorable anywhere and anytime in human existence
She is so energetic. It's cool to listen to her because she keeps talking and telling stories. You essentially just have to ask a one liner question every now and then and from then on she takes the wheel and runs the show. I like it.
Extraordinary survival stories. I lived in LV and never knew about this. I never went to the casinos unless it was for commemorations or to pick up clients to look at housing. I commend these courageous girls to speak up. The lady who is rescuing the girls is doing a great job saving the the other girls through this program. Thank you for showing this reality.
U didn’t know that Vegas was crawling with prostitution?! From truck stops to strung up streets hookers to high-end escorts” & call-girls of all walks of life, body-types and ages. C’mon… No one is this naive ;)
33:33 and into the next ten minutes- watch how she can play those tears! That’s not crying that’s ACTING and it’s bad acting at that. 36:24 after she flip flops between fake crying and not crying she ADMITS she’s an actress!! “The BEST at acting” she says. She is acting for the camera!! Annie- I don’t act. I am REAL at ALL times with my clients. I don’t do anything I don’t want to do. I love the work. I have days I want to stay home like anyone else at any other vocation. Annie DOES NOT speak for anyone but Annie. I wish this interviewer was interviewing myself and others. Unlike Annie I would acknowledge the reality and without the lies. She’s acting for the $$$$ still! The government is her pimp now!!!
Annie is an impressive human being. If she's able to save at least one person from that life, she's a hero. Imagine doing it 7 days a week and taking calls on your personal phone. That's dedication. She's also SO smart. In my opinion, this is one of Peter's top 5 videos.
Even when I was young and wild on all my trips to Vegas never once did I ever think of calling an escort or anything like that because I always felt sorry for the women doing that. I always felt nobody wants to do this for a living. I'm glad you made this documentary. Please help these people!!
Never been seriously tempted to pay for this type of entertainment either. I’ve been to Vegas and seen them sitting around at the slot machines by themselves dressed way too sexy to be anything else but whores. No thanks
I am not sorry for them they knew exactly what they are getting into, did you listen to her? I have been to Vagas 8 times and I would never pay for sex.
@@MrNanah38but that's just her story silly. Not all women started off like her, wanting it. And she wanted it bc her life at home in her mind was worst bc of her father's abuse. Men are the reason alot of these things happen. Pay attention to what she was saying. If her life was better, she wouldn't have chosen this route. Alot of the woman are forced into this lifestyle, where you been?
Listen, I have watched a lot of UA-cam videos throughout my days. Your content, especially this video, is one of the best I have ever seen. There is no fakery or unnecessary cuts. It is just raw, pure material and an opportunity for people to really speak. Amazing, Peter! Annie and her team are a true blessing to the world!
well with the bunny ranch shut down I would bet more Creeps are lookin on the strip then before.. Metro is overwhelmed and their hands are tied more to help get rid of this industry in our Las Vegas..bending over backwards to avoid racism accusations and clean up our city...so it is flourishing and out of control. God bless our Metro police..and out of towners...do not come here for this purpose and contribute to it..find something else to do in Las Vegas besides this type of amusement..visit Red Rock Canyon..hike..bike..helicopter to see the city at night..visit the Grand Canyon a tour..go see Hoover Dam one of the wonders of our country. People live and raise children in Las Vegas area there is more to our city and Southern Nevada then Las Vegas we go to church and shop and buy homes.. rent a car and drive around the beltway get out of downtown eat where the locals eat...Lettys in the art district Bootleggers Italian on LV blvd south end. Weiss deli restaurant Henderson for amazing Breakfast and sandwiches..it is about respect when you visit LV is home to many.

Try get interviews with some of the PIMPS peter 👌 that would be amazing to hear there stories but mite not be youtube proof lol
My husband can get you a interview with a real pimp
I think Peter is an incredible conversationalist, and I thoroughly enjoy the way he handles interviews, I just wish you were a little more aggressive in the interview of her use of the word trafficked. I have been involved with charities that internationally try to help trafficked women, and this is not a "trafficked" woman. Trafficked women don't get to "break up" with their traffickers, trafficked women never see their "P***y" as powerful, trafficked women don't get to go "renegade" when they feel like it, they are mostly poor, stolen women, from poorer countries, who, due to the fact they are most likely here illegally, are scared to go to authorities.
I tell it like I think it is, this woman has no right to call herself trafficked imo, and if you listen to her closely, she gave Peter, many times, in her own words, where she tells you she was not the definition of trafficked. When I see her actions, and what she said, I think she is self-describing herself as trafficked for better marketability, and I believe what she did, to label herself as trafficked, is an insult to the real world of trafficked women.
Here early-ish
Thank you SOOOO much for this opportunity. ❤❤❤
Back in 1994 I worked in South Africa and one night in a bar in Johannesburg I got talking to a prostitute who was turning tricks in the bar. Long story short I paid for an hour with her but all we did was talk and her story was horrible and her parents got murdered in Zimbabwe and she moved to SA to live with a relative. We ended up going out a few times and I'd take her to lunch or out to dinner and I asked her if I could do you want out of this life? She didn't hesitate and said yes! I was lucky because I was working in close protection and I managed to get her a visa to fly home with me back to the UK. She was so so scared but I said give it 6 months and if you want to go back home ill buy the ticket. Fast forward to today and Lisa is married to one of my good friends who knows her past they have 2 beautiful kids and she's a nurse!
That's The Best Story I've Heard All Year. There Really Needs To Be More Compassionate People Such As Yourself Who Are In The Position To Help Others Who've Lived The Struggle & Actually Do It No Strings Attached Bc You Maintain Empathy & Kindness.
Amazing story!
@@septimaserpent youre gorgeous!
Amazing story . Thank you for sharing
Beautiful story
I worked for Annies nonprofit for a small amount of time and she is truly the best human you’ll ever meet. Energetic, loving, passionate, and REAL!!!! She was there for me when I needed her the most. May God continue to bless and protect her.
😂😂
Once a ho always a ho. Stop the cap, madam.
She has a huge purpoae in life. Gonna change lives
Those that needs help, she's the "go to" person for sure.
But if you aren't ready, you arent ready.
its funny she has all this empathy for pimps and sympathy for the girls but the johns she is all like lets put them in cuffs I knew a dude who was a sex addict they have a troubled past too
Can't believe I watched this whole video, especially in one sitting, this was fantastic

Why is that so hard to belive? There’s hoes and pimps in almost every major American city🤔 This 💩 is in your dna.
it was terrible to be honest.
@@MACRONOne what was terrible about it?
I can`t believe I managed to get through 25 minutes of the garbage. You`re likely to have more time left in the world than I have.
Being sexually violated as a child ABSOLUTELY set me up to be re-victimized in life. I was never trafficked or turned out. But I was a victim as a child of sexual abuse and it's like these predators knew and would target me. I am blessed I never got trafficked etc , but I have been sexually abused several times in my life! Ladies I am so happy to see you helping others!!! God bless!
@Carine4444 thank you 🙏! It does hurt,and you're absolutely right!! Overcome and heal. Sounds like you know this too🙏
After seeing Annie for quite a few minutes with this tough facade and talking about trafficking, being beaten, and getting her head shaved and humiliated, and all that in a matter-of-fact, sort of in-your-face way, it was heartbreaking for her to cry at just saying that she wanted to be loved. Many blessings to her.
Thank you. Yes. So many of us just want to be loved.
@Tz365.It’s called trauma bond. She explained why in the video.
Ya it's 50/fif'y on the he beat me...
@nleem3361 but many of you aren't capable of accepting love anymore. But it's not your fault. You've been brainwashed into believing that you're worthless due to childhood trauma or by bad actors that you've been manipulated by in the past... but at the same time, you overcompensate for this feeling of being truly unlovable and worthless with narcissism and a lack of compassion... it's a cruel cycle.
Once you've been with so many people who use and abuse you for $. You become jaded and lose the ability to actually connect and bond with another person on a pure level. It's all just tricks and hustling until your tragic ending.
It's messed up how the physical damage barely leaves a mark, but the isolation and emotional damage rips out her soul. There's a lesson in there somewhere.
Thank you for bringing this to us. My Mom was trafficked in Vegas and NY. She had me when she was 15 years old. My Father was her Trafficker… On my birth certificate the fathers name is Blank. I never knew him. Don’t even know his name. I was raised by my Grandparents… This hit home for me. God Bless these Woman!
Praying strength on you
@@2degucitas sorry for the past life i pray that whatever you’re going through to end soon

Glad you made it.

Does the current state of newspapers make you cry at night?
@@DinoNucci I also worked for a newspaper years ago. 2 daily then 1 a day. Now it is gone. Breaks my heart.
Notice the le.sbian behind her is walking BEHIND HER. That girl is pimping other girls. How would I know all this? First hand experience. Notice the girl in black only speaks when spoken too? Pimped. This woman is a total con, if Peter knew "The game" he'd know he was being conned with this lady's slick words and victimhood smokescreen. She's a liar and a cokehead who is still turning tricks
That right there (I'm a retired editor) tells this is full of shix.
Yes, at times Annie seems to be glamorizing things. I think that’s the trauma speaking. It’s like she wants to believe it wasn’t so bad. This was eye opening and heart breaking.
Yep. The giggling and oh here and oh there statements say it sll
I don't believe that. I think most prostitutes are actually manipulating men (who are the victims) Men have a weakness for sex , and these greedy selfish women are exploiting that vulnerability in men. Whats worse is they try blaming men for it. Look how happy the two main ladies are, bubbly and full of smiles. They enjoyed making EASY MONEY
I'm curious what parts of her story you found glamorous?
@@blondieb91390ablehow she talkings about bathroom but it’s trauma
@@blondieb91390able how she kept talking about making thousands of dollars a night even tho SHE actually made 0
I got into it with someone online who tried to say trafficking and prostitution doesn't happen in Vegas. The ignorance is real. Thank you for bringing attention to this serious issue.
Vegas is a very evil city. I wouldn’t go back there
How could anyone think that? 😐
That's what I was thinking!! Anyone who's been to Vegas for more than 30mins can clearly see the hooker situation. I can see one not being aware of the extent of the situation but Vegas is synonymous w prostitution.
What? Wow, some people truly are ignorant. Vegas is like a known hotspot for that type of stuff.
Prostitution happens everywhere in the world. Its legal all over Europe, are you saying that some idiot would rsay that cr"p This lady in the film is making out that Las Vegas is a glittering wonder of a place. Most Europeans are not big fans of America but believe that las Vegas is a a real cesspit.btw, this person is winding you up to get a response, or they dont exist
Holy smokes, I was in Vegas years and years ago and this lady legit sat down next to me at a bar and chatted it up. I told her I was not interested but we ended up talking for 10-20 min, She was pretty cool, was pretty damn open about the situation. Wished her luck in staying safe. Good to she she has turned around.
Small world eh ?
@@yourtrappedinmygenjutsu It really is, It genuinely makes me happy to she she is doing so much good now. I spent about a week in Vegas at the time and my interaction with her was one of the things I remember the most. That was my first time talking to someone in her 'occupation', She opened my mind a little bit in regards to the women that are trapped in that world.

@@notbobsaget5192 did you hear her testimony ❓ it's on the website
Complex / Childhood PTSD is so real, and yet so many people have no idea it exists. It is the reason why so many people do drugs, alcohol, prostitution, etc. It hit home when she started to cry , and "just wanted to be loved". Isn't that what so many of us want?
Yes, you got it! Thank you for saying this. God bless you~Annie Lobert (Hookers For Jesus & Pink Chair)
@@hookerforjesusYou are loved, you are wanted, and you deserve a place in this world. Don't let anyone tell you differently, especially not yourself. It's the mantra I made for myself, and I hope it helps you and to help other people.
A lack of being truly loved is the reason for being vulnerable to being coerced into making many bad choices or having your choices made for us by predatory others.
She's pathetic AF. Zero accountability. She chose the life she said it herself.
I respect you so much, I met two traffickers in the 80's back. Back in Hawaii and another in Vancouver Canada, I was completely naive at the time, I had no idea what these two men where doing. I can tell you they where both black men and I can tell you where trafficked by black men, I guess this is not really an important factor, {race I mean} but this is so sad to know that a lot of these men are black. I am glad you got out and you are somewhat healed. @@hookerforjesus
Stockholm syndrome. The power of trauma bonding is hugely misunderstood!!! 😢😤This was a very powerful and informative interview.
I hope Annie stays safe. This exposure may be good to get her story out but it is dangerous for her too. I am going to support her organization. I think what she is doing is a true example of doing God's work.
I agree!
Way better than ALL the pastors her on YT. Most of them are wolves in sheeps clothing anyways.
This Lady is actually doing Gods will.
It’s not dangerous. She’s dangerous.

Guys, I'm happy this video is bringing awareness and sparking debate. My benchmark for a good movie or video is that it has me thinking about it the day after, that it's not clear cut, that there are many perspectives and layers... something that might challenge my preconceived idea about a subject.
This is what I always want to show in my channel without ever telling you how or what to think. This is a super complex topic and I'm glad you got to see this video. I also did another video where I got inside a legal brothel in Nye County, NV. That can be seen here: ua-cam.com/video/OYddpWg76DQ/v-deo.html
Hey Peter.... I locate missing kids, mostly before they are trafficked, and also pursue traffickers. These people are the real deal. (Sasly, there are many organizations that either do not have the heart in it -- or are still learning how to PROPERLY provide assistance.) I have not worked with them -- yet. But thanks to your video, I will be contacting them.
You're spot on w the empowered escorts. This woman bless her heart can't fathom that.
Yeah this was a fantastic video I'm actually watching it again today
Peter, Please block some weirdos and trolls in the comments causing crap and gaslighting people. They are obviously human traffickers who are mad that this educational video is exposing the truth on human trafficking and prostitution. Keep up the good work! Saving lives to bring awareness!
This video have a louder sound is perfect its I found it
I can tell she(understandably so) has a lot of conflicting emotions about her past vs. present…she goes from being proud of her past to later almost being awash in recollecting her trauma. Safe to say , wether by choice or not, this lifestyle takes its toll on a persons psyche.
She is a lost soul she is fragile also i feel sorry for her.
It’s not exactly that. It’s a trauma response to talk about your trauma in an almost “proud” way. And not that we’re proud at all, it’s just a way of disconnecting ourselves from the trauma while we talk about it.
@@kimberlyv.3271 well i actually fully understand that. I’m a combat veteran who is “proud” of serving in Iraq , but not proud of the ptsd and the damaged it caused as a result of that time. I wasn’t passing judgement, just trying to relate . Thank you for helping me do so.
Everyone gets a little damaged in this world ….
@@ayebingit’s okay to address this as emotionally damaged because that is what she/you (from what you said) are. But damaged doesn’t mean broken. Best of luck with your struggles ❤
Cannot stop watching. I'm surprised, that this lady openly speaks about her past career. Such videos worthy being shown on public TV to cast a light on prostitution problem and pay parent's attention to children upbringing. Thank you, Peter!
Past career 😆😆😆😆😆
I went to Vegas with two girl friends for my 21st birthday back in 2009. We walked around and constantly had men approaching us with suspicious looking business cards claiming to be modelling agents and inviting us to work for them. Thank god we had enough common sense to know better. I can’t imagine how bad it is now, 14 years later.
I celebrated my 21st birthday with my family and boyfriend in Vegas last June, I had men and women come up to me while I was playing slots, asking if I liked to party, if I wanted to come with them to these night clubs 🥴
@@lynnedaniele Nice country.
Predatory scum everywhere - good luck
@@lynnedaniele you look so beautiful
@@incumbentvinyl9291it happens all over the world. Maybe you should check yourself and have some humbleness and a lot less judgemental. The world would be a much better place.
I was a stripper for a few years and I met my husband at the club. He was a bouncer and he actually got me off the drugs and got me out of that life and I'm really glad the situation didn't turn out how it could have. The lady is right, there is a lot of money in blinding you and it's all just emotional manipulation so I was very lucky to have met an honest guy that I could trust that really did love me and didn't want anything from me. Hes a great dad, great husband and great best friend.
So glad your story turned out well. ❤
That’s awesome💚congratulations
Your husbands a simp
Now that's a story
I don't know how a man can be stupid to look for love in strip clubs but this is so common lol at least you have a happy life that's a good thing
I really felt so bad for this woman… you can hear how deep this life goes with her. She can’t talk fast enough about it. It’s all so sad….this had to be difficult one for you Peter. There is a huge message here for parents…or if you are planning on having children. Love your children…make them feel loved…laugh with them..care and protect them. It starts with that. Thank you Peter for bringing a huge light to this.
Did You watch til the end?
She has zero accountability. She choose the life she said it herself.
@@Tar9pYou say she has zero accountability but proceed to say she said she chose it herself? That’s contradictory. Why cant you acknowledge that she chose it AND was simultaneously manipulated and taken advantage of? It’s not entirely her fault
She's a trauma tourist telling other people's stories as if they were her own to gain attention and sympathy. All of the places she is telling us she uses to hook didn't even exist in the time period she said she was doing it. She's talking about her special bathroom she used to hide out in Aria. Except Aria wasn't built until 2009. She said quit in 1998. She's trying to tell lies but doesn't know enough Vegas history to know how ridiculous what she's saying actually is. You got duped by a pathologically lying narcissistic.
at 2:00 when she says she used to hook in all these hotels? Literally not a single hotel in that picture was built before 1998. None of them even existed.
Yes…I watched to the end….and to the person who said “she choose this life” …….well yes she DID choose that life…just like every addict. You choose food…drugs…sex…etc. whatever your addiction is…cigarettes! So when you are addicted you CHOOSE your addiction.
Most of us are different with OUR choices….we choose things for different reasons. Addiction brings a person down to the depths of despair. When a woman is abused in her childhood/teen physically or sexually or both they most of the time never come out of it on the other side as a normal functioning person. They will many times not feel worthy as a person so they turn to men to try to satisfy them because that’s all they think they are good for….it becomes an addiction of a complete mental illness. Think about it….so sad.
Annie screaming warning to that call girl about the pearly gates is one to go down in history. She's a fighter, what a force of nature. And Ashley's gentle spirit is a great complement out there on the streets. May God bless and help them mightily!
Hesitated sharing this online. I used to be a stripper. I never did prostitution but there's so much that goes into stripping alone too. That place broke me, is all i can say. I hope a lot of women see that this industry isn't as empowering as it's deemed in today's society.
Thank you! 🩷💜🩵
Sending you lots of love ❤️
@kbrodie3677 thank you. really means alot
I used to do security at a Strip club. It 1000% is not empowering. I saw so many broken, depressed miserable girls.
@fubarexress6359 facts. A lot of women in this industry will claim to be ok with it, but it's not true.
Annie, if you read this. STAY SAFE. The world is a better place with you in it. You are making a huge and important difference in people's lives that really need help. God bless you.
You are a very poor judge of character.
@@JennaHasmlol...
This documentary is living proof for people who don’t understand why having functional families and having good, understanding parents as role models are so important for society. The likelihood of women being manipulated and abused by these traffickers increases exponentially if they come from households where abuse is common because for them, this is natural.
Yup!
As my Pastor once said, “The family unit is the bedrock of civilization itself.” Mess it up and you mess up society at large. I watched a Netflix documentary a few months back on prison inmate interviews. Without exception, every inmate said he was abused as a child.
Unfortunately, how functional a family is depends on their culture as well. Many cultures have traditionally been patriarchal with outdated ideals in which women were not considered equals. So, parents repeat these values and girls grow up to believe it. It's a very complex issue but moving towards a more feminist society is probably the best remedy for centuries of mistreatment against women.
In some cases, young people are trafficked by their own relatives.
@@rosiekapun207 The most important job in the world is that of a mother. I think it’s in Sweden that women are given a 5-year maternity leave. I’m certain that’s because these are the most crucial years in childhood development. If a child is not nurtured (loved, mirrored, cuddled, cooed at, picked up, gets food and diaper changes when needed, etc.), the baby will suffer from neglect and abuse that results in at least one Personality Disorder. The mother will transfer Oxytocin, the Bonding Hormone, during her pregnancy and it’s critical that ties continued after that, in those crucial years. And if that doesn’t happen, you get a Donald Trump….although he also has Psychopathy, a genetic mutation, passed down from his father. His mother was dealing with a difficult and bleeding pregnancy with her next child, Robert, when Trump was 2 years old. Thus, in comorbidity with the inherited Psychopathy, he developed Cluster A Paranoid Personality Disorder and Cluster B Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
In China there used to be a One Child Rule, due to overpopulation. In that culture, sons are expected to care for their parents in ther elderly years. As such, if they had a female child, she was either aborted or put in an orphanage, where she and all the other female babies didn’t get the Nurturing every child needs and deserves.
In Christianity, God sees men and women as co-equals - joint heirs to the throne, but it’s evident they have differing roles. There will be trouble if the husband does not submit his life to Christ, but if he does, his wife will be more that happy to follow her husband, as the leader of the family. Jesus was a Servant Leader who led by love. Thus, a husband is to server his wife, and she is to serve her husband.
Feminism is simply a rebellion against men who do not lead and love women as Jesus did. Women had numerous prominent roles in the Bible. One excellent book and it’s follow-up, was 12 Extraordinary Women, followed by 12 Ordinary Men….written by my well-known and much loved Pastor, John MacArthur. His large church is truly bustling with happy, well-adjusted families.
But the world wants to tear the family apart, and a man want to be in control, because they reject this God of Love, Compassion, Service, Healing, as a Wonderful Counselor and Peace of Peace. He suffered brutally and died for teaching such things, and at a time when women were still nothing more than chattel. He taught men how to love women, not abuse them.
And he said, while surrounded by children, “If anyone harms one of these little ones, it is better that a millstone be hung around his neck and he be drowned in the bottom of the sea.” That’s Capital Punishment, so you can see how deadly serous he took child abuse.
By contrast, in cultures like Afghanistan, and Thailand, Pedophilia is the norm. Try catching up with Diane Langberg, Ph.D., a Psychologist and Pastor’s wife who’s a 50-year veteran Trauma Counselor, has a private practice in Philadelphia, and has done her work on 6 continents. But make no mistake, her focus has always been first and foremost to take on victims who have been abuse by their so-called” Christian husbands. Jesus and the Apostle Paul both warned of false converts, and repeatedly did so. But if men truly humble themselves, bowing their knee to Christ, learning his ways, that’s where the wonderful and healthy marriages and families begin.
I respect her but for me honestly i could sense the fakeness in her , like she's damn lost .
She is deeply traumatized! Have some empathy and compassion for a fellow human being
@@lidiapietrusza5014 there are a lot of men with a lack of empathy in the comments for her, it reminds me of how my friend was talking to a coworker who said he’s only cries in stories with male leads but not with women.
So many men have the emotional intelligence of a paper bag. I’m lucky enough where I have a boyfriend who empathizes heavily with both men and women. Probably helps that he made friends with a lot of girls in highschool, wheras most boys spent more time just trying to find a girlfriend
WOW! This is an amazing journalistic feat! Only an independent content creator could do this, get it published & seen by thousands of people without ramifications. Delighted to see journalism elevated to this by "regular people" such as Peter. Thank you for this long, in depth look at what goes on everywhere, not just Vegas. We, as a society really need to see what we have created. It's time to choose what values we truly embrace & stand for them. Thank you, all of you, for making this video.
I agree, i saw another comment on a video that said "peter should get his own channel".. lol he definitely already has one
Fantastic work, indeed. 3.3 million views as I write this comment.
Yup, now millions. Nothing better than youtube long form vids. Just found this channel a week ago and can't stop watching. Hopefully these women (and men) can realize what happened and get out safely
Peter you do amazing work on your videos. Keep up with the great professional work you do
hes not a jouranlist, he let the lady lie to him and did zero reasearch.
I worked high end Security in Vegas back in the early 80’s and Annie is dead on. There were other “organizations”aside from the pimps that promoted this and were a real problem also which I won’t comment on but I’m glad to see Annie’s group is trying to make a difference and help these women. Great interview
Was it the Mafia?
@@D..S..yes different mafias there i would assume.
this isnt a trafficking problem.. this is a mental illness problem... they choose this life
Cool story bro 😂
its the comment section bro just comment on it
If there were no customers there would be no prostitution. Be better men.
She should be proud of the organization she’s established. Major kudos. It’s good to see her giving back and helping others avoid making the same mistakes she did.
Also awesome content on your channel Peter! Many of us would have no clue about these organizations and people you document. @PeterSantenello
When I was in the Navy stationed in San Diego CA. I knew a girl who was a victim of trafficking. Her street name was Candy. We were getting to know each other by hanging out and having coffee at Dennys in the late hrs of the evenings after leaving the clubs. I was never a trick for her; we would sit and talk about her life and what made me join the military. We started to get feelings for each other as I was trying to get her off the streets. I had to go out to Sea for a month doing coastal patrols and when I got back I went to the Dennys we'd meet at and I was sitting there for a long time. A young lady approached and asked me my name and I told her. She said she was Candy's real sister and that Candy was killed while I was out to sea. She said she wish Candy would have met me a long time before we did; she said Candy always wrote to her about me. I know she's in heaven now looking down on me because I was trying to get her life changed around. Thank you Annie for what you are doing out there in Vegas.
Sorry for your loss. It sounds like you did the right thing and that’s all anyone can do.
❤🙁
It says a lot that you were likely the only guy who didn’t try to take advantage of Candy. God saw everything you did for her!!! He stores your treasures up in Heaven, Gene. 💕
So sorry for your loss, I too wish Candy had met you much earlier, and that you went on to have a life and family together. I hope your own life turned out well 💜x
Thanks, now I'll have to wait for The Equalizer 4. 😑 lol sorry, I couldn't resist.
I was a sex worker in 2017. It was horrible. My first night was in Vegas. I cried in a way I never cried before. My soul cried. I wasn’t trafficked but I was mentally manipulated into getting into it and staying for 6 months. I am now a licensed mental health therapist and am fully saved by Christ. God bless these women. Amazing work. I am in tears.
That’s tough, glad you are doing well
I bet honey. Omg. No matter how much they try to glamorize this I would not want to do it.
May God bless you always ❤
❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing and praising Christ
She's still craving that attention.
Thank you for putting out some very intriguing thought provoking content. Props to this lady for changing her life and being a positive force.
They arent the best actors. Its just many of the people they deal with, are naive and desperate for love, for discreet "relationships" etc, so they are easily fooled. But they all are the same, got the same bullshit lines and are very see-through. They prey on the weak, so of course they can easily fool them.
Thank you 🎉❤
@@jaseallenson316 Yeah these women were predators. They got off easy.
Thanks Patrick!
Something Ashley and Annie talked about as a common thread was the money addiction. Even though they didn't get it, they got to touch it and carry it and squirrel some away. This is quite impressionable for many. Cash flow is a powerful motivator. It keeps us in dead end jobs, bad relationships, and corrupt organizations.
She says she gave it all to her pimp, yet she stashed thousands away....it's not like she didnt have money.
I've watched a lot of these and they always let the love of easy money slip out.
@@sweetpeasandyarrowaranchdi8327 I mean, as a man, there are plenty of illegal things I could do for quick money, but I made a choice to be a law abiding citizen. A lot of these women choose this life as much as she denies it.
@@ivangotyokes So you're denying her trauma of being Trafficked? Have you heard of Stockholm syndrome? Every heard of girls being drugged to have sex then being addicted to drugs?
She was not held captive by money. She was actively trafficked and set in a system in which she was actively oppressed and set in a cycle she couldn’t escape as many women in sex work are.
A girl I went to high school with moved to Las Vegas, became a prostitute and was murdered with her body cut up in pieces on the side of a highway when she was only 21. If you saw the town we grew up in you’d be shocked. Small middle-upper class town. Literally no crime. Great schools with a very high percentage of kids going to college. Everybody knows everyone and in general is a real community feel. Her family seemed like nice, normal middle class family. It just goes to show you, it can literally happen to anyone.
Sounds like she was trafficked or on drugs in Vegas. Probable child / sexual abuse growing up.
AMERICANS are WEIRD 700MILLION guns in private hands USA for freedom JEEÈEEEZ and peace.
A nice example for the girls from your hometown on what not to do
Well, we can’t assume her parents were abusive but we also can’t assume they weren’t just because they were upper middle class. You never know what goes on behind closed doors. She could also have got some trauma outside of her family. You just never know 😞 it’s very sad, I hope she has found peace.
With her coming from a small town she may have been naive and that wld explain how she got wrapped up with the wrong people.
She is very inconsistent in her explanations and stories. She also seems to enjoy being around that lifestyle.
My daughter was a cocktail waitress in Baltimore. One night two men in her section kept asking her to go to Florida and that they had a house there where a lot of other girls lived too, they hung out & the beach, had all this fun, etc. Luckily we had recently attended an informational meeting on trafficking. They bugged her all night long & she kept saying “no, I have a boyfriend. I’m not interested.” They kept on until almost closing, then got really angry and left. These people unfortunately are EVERYWHERE.
They are bad. I was a cocktail waitress in the 90s. A guy used to come in a lot and tip me and another girl very well. He asked me if I wanted to make $80k as a secretary and that I didn't need to know how to type. He said I would need to fly to the UK, Turkey, and Egypt. When I told him I had many years experience in HR he stopped having me serve him. A month later that girl supposedly went on a cruise with him and we never saw her again. Another guy asked me if I wanted to be a flight attendant on a private plane. I told him I couldn't because I had children but after the other offer I wondered if that was legit or not.
sorry to say, but who would literally fall for that line that just has suspicious sex trafficking, written all over it lol I think anyone of average intelligence or better would hear that shit and obviously decline but not only that you need to fucking report! They need to be reported to the FBI trafficking is an interstate crime. These guys are in Baltimore. They’re talking about Florida you call the FBI you don’t call the local PD they don’t give two fucks because one of these guys leave their jurisdiction there’s nothing they can do she should’ve informed, she could’ve save someone’s life and she should’ve had them removed from the restaurant. I mean these guys play tough but they’re only tough to their own stable to their own hoes. When push comes to shove they’re not gonna do shit against a civilian I mean, what are they gonna do seriously people teach your kids and teach them right you don’t need to back down to anybody.
@@timeforchange3786 what happened to the other girl?
Sounds like your daughter just has good parents. Most girls with decent parents would be afraid to do something like that with strangers. Girls who are from bad environments combined with no Dad are looking for an escape, so they don't see it the proper way. IMO
@@beac8238 we never found out.
I worked in retail on the strip for 20 years and watched the pimps, prostitutes, and people handing out cards. Most security and police didn't care. We saw the same people every day.. God bless you for your work. Thank you for this video. Hope it gets a billion views and raises awareness.
some of those security or police probably get some action themselves off duty or have ‘deals’ worked out with some of those girls

Peter, this is one of the most powerful videos that you've ever done. Appreciate your storytelling
Wow!!!! That makes us so happy! Annie Lobert ❤😊🎉
Wow. Annie, you will have one of the largest crowns. I am blown away to tears by your boldness and courage, your perseverance and heart for others, your organizational skill. Wow.
I have lived a very safe life. It saddens me deeply that people can be so cruel to each other, so broken, and so “dead.” Thank you for opening my eyes, heart and mind to understanding and knowledge.
She's so engaging. I think she's incredible. Honest, strong and has so much drive. I've got respect for her. Turned her life around and is determined to do good. You can tell she's lived through hell. She detaches herself from the trauma that's why she's matter of fact. But deep down just wanting to be loved that's the deepest trauma. 💔 All the best girl. ❤
❤️❤️❤️ indeed
I’m glad that Annie was very clear about the childhood sexual abuse and neglect that victims of traffickers come from. It’s a important key that I’ve found often people aren’t cognizant of when it comes to why girls would get into these industries to begin with.
Yep men have intentionally created the world we live in. It was always the purpose behind social media, as we see now. Old men victimizing little girls (and little boys) is quite literally the story of the world. Men destroy, use, and abuse. They are the pedophiles who rape and groom these children and they are the sicko’s that watch it on their phones with their children and wives. Our society should just quit pretending.
Man, I despise traffickers and sadists so much. I personally don't think someone that is willing to dehumanize a person to that extent can be reformed, especially since so many that get out just end up doing it again. It should be an automatic life sentence in many, if not most, cases since they didn't mind imprisoning someone in an unending nightmare.
EVERYONE is a human being with a story, as Annie said. Terrorists who have done despicable, sadistic actions CAN learn to see & FEEL what they've done. Remember, those who are drawn into these kinds of activities have been SHUT OFF from their own humanity. It takes time & patience to reach them. Then even more time & patience for them to begin AT-ONE-MENT. It can be done. We find our humanity by guiding them to theirs. We LOSE our humanity with judgment & UNFORGIVENESS.
@@bertanelson8062 I do believe and surprisingly agree with what you are saying, but it would take A LOT of something (Idk what) for that miracle script-flip to happen. Sadistic human traffickers like Peter Scully (I don't recommend looking him up if you don't know who he is due to the story being rage inducing) are so unapologetically far gone in their sick ways that it makes it arguably impossible to believe someone like that can be rehabilitated, unless we get to an some sci-fi esque era where we can just go inside a sadist's head and clean up whatever is propelling them upon their arrest.
I personally don't know how rehabilitating them can be done, but I won't argue against forgiving them or recognizing their humanity while incarceration. I'm not for torture or anything, just life in prison so they can't return to harming anyone or get revenge on anyone. Long comment on my end, sorry. Respect to you for what you said, though.

This is why prostitution and trafficking needs to be illegal
@@theforcedmeme illegal prostitution makes it easier for trafficking to happen. It needs to be legal and regulated so that less harm will be done.

She is an example of the capacity of trauma survivors to empower themselves to help others.

As a former casino employee I saw this all the time. Girls not old enough to be in a casino were snuck in. A woman hid out in one of the casino restrooms for over 12 hrs. She never said she was hiding but I'm sure she was. Security checked on her & asked her to leave at around 9pm. It was wild seeing someone pretend to do their hair & makeup for hrs & hrs.
did you notice in the interview how they got exited when they got to certain spots in the casino? They loved that
Yes they may have loved it because it felt like a hide away home that they felt safe for a moment. She said something about that. Is that a bad thing to want to feel safe? She was being forced to make a quota 24/7
She couldn’t come home unless that quota was met.
@@tinaknutsen security offered to walk her out the backway. She said no thx. She exited through the casino floor. I truly felt for her.
Note to people who are confused about her seeming to glamorize her past: darkness can still be exhilirating, and you can “reminisce” about those times of darkness even if you know they were bad for you. I reminisce about days of former drug and alchohol abuse even though that was a dark time in my life. I was miserable at that time but I still found points of happiness and joy in that painful downward spiral. Non-addicts and people who have never experienced the dark side of themselves might never understand this. I don’t want to go back to those days, but there were still good moments that i miss. I’m sure she feels the same. It doesn’t mean she would ever go back or recommend it.
This!!
@@zebrapleco7895 clearly she enjoyed the work, which no one forced her into. its a myth that every prostitute hates the job.
yeah me too. i wouldn’t even say it’s a coping mechanism. i’m years & years past that life (using substances like the original commenter, not pr0sttn) i think the reality is, if something sucked 24/7, 100% of the time, nobody would ever get addicted to it. whether it’s money, drugs, or just a certain lifestyle. there has to be some yin to balance the yang or it wouldn’t be alluring in the first place. once you realize the road leads to darkness, you (hopefully) heal.. but that doesn’t take away from the initial exhilaration and love affair.
I think it's important to not hide that part. When a young person is warned about harmful lifestyles and they're painted only in an ugly light, if they go out and realize the allure/temptation behind it, they're bound to think their guardians lied to them and do it anyway, only to realize the truth too late.
But if we're honest in how alluring and even "fun" a destructive lifestyle can be, but put the weight on the depressing consequences and what those lifestyles are ACTUALLY doing to you, I think maybe you're giving them a fuller picture of what to look out for. Just my opinion though
Thank you for being thoughtful and insightful. Some of these comments are astoundingly naive and ignorant. I'm sure Annie has heard all the bullshit we see in the comments here. Good thing she's a strong person doing good things in the world that mean a lot more than being a willfully dense asshole on the internet trying to tear people down. It's not even reasonable to assume she's glamorizing her past. She would still be living that life instead of actively combating it if that were the case. Some people want to be blind. They don't want to see the rough parts of humanity. It's easier for them to dismiss it and be ignorant.
Omg, she's SO annoying. She is pushy, and a hypocrite. She starts yelling at the other woman who might be trafficked , but yet when Peter asks her about if she ever felt guilty when she was going with married men (great question, btw), she said she didn't have time to think about that. Well, maybe those women passing out the fliers don't have time to think about it, either. Jeez, she is a big hypocrite. And she cannot say EVERY one who is a prostitute is being trafficked (that is not a fact)-. When Peter brought ups the prostitute form the Bunny Ranch or Cat House who was happy, she completely put in her own bias, and disregarded Peter's observation. Sorry, but she just come off as crazy. The other woman, on the other hand (with the glasses) was much more clear headed and made a lot of sense.
I had a friend who bought a small business on the iconic Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles about 15 years ago. She had a pure soul and was somewhat naive about the seedy realities of the street. She quickly realized a lot of her customers were young girls who were obviously working the street. She would even see young teenage girls who were being pimped. When she wasn't working, she decided she wanted to help some of these girls get off the streets. She basically tried to do what Annie is doing. Sadly it took such a toll on her that she ended up committing su***de. Unlike Annie, she was a complete stranger to that world, and she felt these girls were so brainwashed that her efforts were all a waste. She had such a positive spirit, but being unable to help these girls, especially the young kids, completely broke her. What Annie is doing is truly remarkable. It takes someone like her who has been through that dark tunnel and made it out the other side to do what she's doing.
Wow, I'm sorry. I believe God saw her efforts and knows her heartbreak, so He grabbed her soon as she stepped outta this world ❤
This is very sad, she took their suffering on board
Your friend was another Angel like these ladies doing God's work, sorry for your loss 🙏
She has been triggered all day. She ect back to the beginning and the excitement but she never finds that again with a pimp
Hilarious she doesn't want grants it's to much paperwork
Thank you for putting out the real story about trafficking. I’m so tired of our msm trying to sell “sex work” as empowering to young women & girls.
Except it CAN be empowering. In person sex work doesn't have to be traditional prostitution!
There's nothing empowering about selling any part of your body. It's still an industry created by men. Just because there's a market for it, doesn't mean there should be a market for it. This goes for cannibalism, pedophilia, and human trafficking. These avenues are alive and well BECAUSE there's a market for it. It's disgusting. Flesh should not be for sale. This is a male driven industry that uses the facade of "women empowerment" to keep this industry going. Society is what forces women to do these things in the first place. It's all wrong. There's is nothing empowering about it for women. It still only benefits men and women that think otherwise are brainwashed.

There is a huge difference in being a sex trafficking victim and being a prostitute. Mixing them up is honestly very disrespectful to those who go through the horrors of being trafficked. It seems that this woman parades this as her identity and gets excited when she talks about it, which is fine, that's her story, but to me, it seems quite obvious that she was a prostitute not a trafficking victim. She even said she loved it.
This woman is amazing. Her purpose in life is to advocate saving trafficked girls. She had to live it in order to do what she does now.
Imagine this world if every father stepped up and took care of his kids, especially his daughters. Showed them by example how to be a good man. This world would be a lot different.
and Mother
There are too many children are born out of wedlock. Don't have a kid unless you are in a committed married relationship with a good man and stop trying to use babies to trap men.
Too many mothers make that choice for the kid
What shocks me is the ones that do have both parents, like old girl.
There’s too many people chasing money and dreams instead of being realistic, and like most humans, will do the least effort for the greatest reward.
Women need to start being taught that they’re bodies are sacred and only to be shared with someone you’re in love and a relationship with, and NEVER EVER SELL THEIR BODIES TO MAKE MONEY. It shouldn’t even be a consideration. It should sicken and disgust anyone to even think about it.
Its both parents not only the father. Some women get into this and other things because of a emotional traumatic wound from their mothers. If both cant be there emotionally, physically, or mentally for a kid.. they should not have a kid.
I worked as a stripper and Annie is right…we lie to ourselves, believing one day we can have the fantasy…while our lives become a living nightmare.😖🙏🏻🤯
When I came to the end of myself, Jesus gave me the strength to get out. It took 12 years.😬
Ma'am God bless you. I thank and praise God you are free.

Somebody give this woman a channel. She's should be a therapist. Her energy and positivity is wholesome. Didn't think I'd be able to watch this until she got into it. I was hooked listening to her chatter.
The Ex "Sex worker" in this video is a radical anti-sex work campaigner: She is fighting against ALL in person sex work instead of listening to respected anti-trafficking organizations, including the largest anti-trafficking organization in America, Freedom United which is pro-sex work. She said Kamala Harris was wrong for being for the decriminalization of sex work. And is trying to abolish it completely, which is the worst thing in the world.
She should also get a bodyguard. I think she could be in danger. I don’t think this mafias are happy for what she does and what she knows. God bless her and protect her 🙏
@@Bill-sl8dy I don’t get how those people go from doing that work to being ant it. Not every girl has a P a lot of them do it out of survival or some love the fast money and the hustle. Not everyone is being trafficked the game could be a steppingstone for girls. I wish more people with positive experiences share there story and how they used it as a steppingstone in life.
@@Jazzy46UMMM I would think it's the same as being a drug user that gets clean. Personally I don't agree with any of it. Human flesh should not be for sale. This is why the world thinks anything goes. There's no moral values anymore.
I think if we in our society today had the proper religious awareness we could see this woman is what was called a saint in days past.
For Annie to be able to hope that these scum traffickers can be healed too… man that just hit me different. What a big heart. Amazing strong woman.
What would Jesus do?
I mean the traffickers are no different than the 40 something year old sicko hiding in the bathroom on his phone watching his pedo porn while have little kids of his own… or basically the average guy… anyone who watches porn is the exact same thing.
Yep bc I don’t care about them: they kept ALL the money.
@@radarnj8043your Bible tells you to put them to death that's what Jesus would do and if you choose to believe on Christ and receive life eternal you'll get to see what he would do because he'll be back to rule and rein with a rod of iron with those of us who chose to believe helping rule n rein.
Annie knows that God loves the world so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus, to die for all our sins, so whoever believes/trusts in Jesus will not die in their sins and be sent to hell, but will live forever with the Lord God. Life with God or death in hell, we all get to choose. Choose life with God!
I can see her own “ Pretty Woman “ movie come to fruition . Her knowledge and wisdom about “ The Life “ is incredible. Miss Annie needs a film bio about her life . Her life and “ Hookers For Jesus “ needs to be a movie . I could see Tara Reid playing “ Fallon “
The sad fact is that Pretty Woman is a fairytale. One of these girls would be hard pressed to find a stable rich gentleman to carry them off to live happily ever after. Thank goodness Jesus is willing to rescue them no matter what they’ve been through or done.
I've been watching a lot of videos about prostitution and it's just shocking how many give 100% of their income to their pimp. The way she describes trauma bonding and grooming with gifts etcetera is spot on.
How often do you see films made about sex workers who want to do the work? It’s not that they are rare or don’t exist- it’s that the topic of trafficking gets the air time due to the topic itself.
What are the titles of the movies you’ve been watching?
@7eyesopenwide168 I personally know a lot of sex workers who enjoy or have enjoyed that line of work. But none of them were street hookers who gave everything to a pimp. I just think you've got to be really brainwashed and/or traumatized to give up all your earnings to anyone like that.

I had a stopover in Vegas a few months ago, I'm British and Vegas has a glossy reputation here. I couldn't believe what I saw it's dystopian. I was solo travelling and every single uber driver asked me to be careful as women are commonly trafficked there. Every public toilet had warnings advising women to call a helpline if they're a victim of trafficking.
Aside from that the slot machine zombies were disturbing and I went to a 7/11 where no less than 6 ppl stole from them within 10 minutes.
It's easily one of the places where I've felt the least safe and that's after travelling to 50 countries including the Middle East, Latin America and West Africa.
Yep , I'm born and raised In vegas , although Vegas has always had its ruff areas with gangs especially in the 90s , Vegas is Isane now ! It's not the same an it's dangerous as hell no matter what neighborhood your in 😢
This channel is a public service. I would never watch a news channel these days because it's all so convoluted. You are literally providing the specials and content about the world around us that we all look for and want to know. Thank you.
This woman is a victim of her own greed and bad choices. She was not trafficked in the true sense of the word; there are actually people who get kidnapped and trafficked and have no choice but to do what they are told. This one brought her pimp to Vegas! She's quite proud of being a prostitute, and proud of her pimp; all you have to do is listen to her words. But... In the US, everyone is a victim these days. Lol
100%! And she's getting government money to run that safe house. And those donations are going into her pocket. She's cashed up being a victim from the Starbuck's, surgeries, fingernails, and designer clothes.
I kinda got that vibe from her too. She was basically on her own, and was madly in love with her pimp, which explains why she brought him to Vegas to make more money. I wouldn’t be surprised if her pimp got tired of her, and then broke up with her, which then led to her drug addiction.
Exactly
@@tonyfoo9523 I wouldn't be surprised if she herself was pimping out girls. The term "Sex worker" has been legitimized by politicians and the media. She could take government money for the program, and have a list of escorts at her disposal. She sent up a lot of red flags for sure.
I hope this woman gets all the gratitude and recognition that she deserves for her efforts. Most people who escape grom a traumatic nightmare never even look back, but she's had the courage not only to look back, but to go back in day after day to help other people out. God bless her and all of the brave people helping her. And thank you, Peter, for helping expose this sinister cycle. I hope this video gives some people the shame they deserve, and others the hope they need. 💓
Oh pls, she was not trafficked. She tells you she liked that her "p***y had power" A trafficked woman never feels like that, she could have left whenever she wanted, thats not "trafficked"

Something is off with this rescue home. She said most beds are open because lack of staff. She clearly has the money for it. Look at the car. I think she says that so she can get more funding. Plus, turn down govt funding because you have to report where the money goes and if caught misappropriating its more time. This reeks of a BIG CON.
About a decade ago, I lived in Las Vegas and worked at a KFC. I remember this woman came through the drive thru and her name on the credit card said Hookers for Jesus! She has had such a fascinating life, I'm so happy she got out of her trafficking situations and is now able to help other women in similar situations!

That is heartbreaking, and I am so sorry you went through that
I don't find this lady credible. I have no experience to fall back on, she's just too over the top. Like that guy who wrote about his drug recovery and it filled with hyperbole. I'm sure she's been through hell, but some of her stories don't ring true.

Thank you so much for sharing, that takes guts~Annie
@@hookerforjesus Thank you Annie 💗🙏🏼
She wasn’t trafficked she chose to do it. You’re basically saying women can’t make a choice. Can’t decide what to do so they shouldn’t be in positions of power. If they’re that weak, she could’ve left at any time she chose to make easy quick money.
You should go back where she talks about how she was good at waitressing but then saw the money she could make in sex work.
@jrg7131 you’re probably a pimp😂
Many many years ago (20+ years at this stage), I worked at a shelter for girls/women who, for the most part, didn't decide to go into this lifestyle by their own choices. The place I worked at had a 'no male policy' with the exception of another social worker and a psychiatrist. These girls were literally dumped on our doorstep, beat to pulp, and we'd try our hardest to help them any way we could. It has changed me significantly and watching this breaks my heart, that nothing has changed. The only thing that gives me hope, are people like Annie, who will keep fighting and let their voice be heard. Keep doing what you do Annie, those girls all need your voice... and Ashley, too. Well done girl ♥ Thank you for highlighting this @PeterSantenello .

I’m watching , from Dublin, Ireland…
She said she took $5000 for a hour, I call 'Bullsh*t' on that. Maybe she took $5000 for a 'night' but definitely not for a hour.
Maybe the act just took one hour and the rest was earned sleeping.
One of my best friends and I were approached while walking the Vegas strip and asked if we were “working” of course we both said NO immediately put off. It was even worse when we went to LA. I never knew how common prostitution was down there until I saw it for myself. And what’s even more crazy is that some of the women that live that life are SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL inside AND out, it really makes you wonder how they ended up there. So sad.
It sucks that this experience is so common because demand is high. As a community, we should teach men that their worth isn’t measured by how many women they sleep with. It’s perfectly ok to have desires but not ok to take advantage of another sentient being who they know has limited opportunities. The worst part is a good majority of these type of men know, they just don’t care because it’s a woman problem then go onto be afraid when they have daughters.
prostitution is the oldest profession for the reason everyone has their stories. Unfortunately, I knew a "mother" who sold her daughter to the worse man you can imagen for just candies and alcohol. you can't count these stories of how a father is raping his daughter etc. it's not that rare as people think.
@@kurrwa The oldest profession is actually farming for women. This is where the hunter-gatherer mentality came to play in our society. Women like her are just scum. However, most mothers don’t prostitute their children although I won’t deny that the sexual exploitation of children is rampant which still doesn’t count as prostitution since it’s perpetrated against a child who can’t legally consent.
Drugs and money. That's why they wound up there.

Traffickers should...it makes no sense to treat the victim and not the "pimp". One trafficker affects dozens, if not hundreds of women.
When you learn to forgive others it sets you free. It doesn't mean it's right but it means that you leave it to the Lord Jesus Christ to handle.

Whats worse is they try blaming men for it. Look how happy the two main ladies are, bubbly and full of smiles. They enjoyed making EASY MONEY

It’s wild that childhood trauma is the root to most peoples problems. I love that they are bringing awareness to this! We need to help heal each other. We only live ones we all deserve better! ❤
Frazy.. it takes a trauma moment for us to change from confusion/hurt to clearity of the heart and mind. Otherwise we die young (spritually)! Vietnam veteran , 1970. I was 21.
My best friend was a vice detective here in Las Vegas for years. She is now in homicide, but sadly, there are a lot of commonalities between the two. She worked very hard to try and help trafficked girls. She was always working. Her family was in town, and she got a call from a working with an upcoming case against her pimp, and she had to talk to the girl for two hours on her day off to keep her on the path to testify. It’s so heartbreaking, and what these ladies are doing is so wonderful! I wish I were able to volunteer and help them somehow. Thank you for sharing this. I’m loving your series about my city. You are covering some very important stories.
Indeed
I blame pornography and molestation.
My grandpa was lieutenant of detectives for 35 years in Vegas, maybe your best friend knew or heard of him. His name was Carroll Kemp.
@@standdown4929 I’m retired 3 years from LVMPD. We have multiple detective bureaus and each one has a few lieutenants. Do you know which bureau or when he was on? It doesn’t ring a bell to me.
These are really just stories of white women who got caught up in aspects of black culture. These women were born with value. They didn't have to make their value like a man does. They could have found a good man but chose to find a predator. It's more frustrating than sad.
He is so pushy victim blaming, keeps asking her why she didnt see it coming, why she didnt just leave, she literally describes her torture and he is such privileged white man about it
I lived in Las Vegas and was trafficked for a few years. I was jumped so many times because of trying to leave pimps. ❤❤❤so many people don’t realize how cruel and hard that life is and to overcome. I live and from Utah. I was trafficked from here to Vegas.
Thank god the cops did a prostitution sting and saved me
So happy that you are at least safe & sound... I am so astounded by these stories 😢
yeah right, trap all night and use it take a bus to back to Utah, it is that easy.
I’m so sorry you went through all that trauma! Prayers for healing 🙏
🙏❤️🙏
Wishing you peace and healing 🙏
Peter, your best video ever! You really made us all so proud of you for exposing trafficking! Thanks!
I never worked with a pimp but even doing escort work alone left a shallow dark misty nothingness of a person behind. Still recovering years later. Thank you to both women for sharing and thank you for the doc!!
Sorry to say this but yet look at the profile picture you have up it definitely sends mixed signal’s on weather you are truly done doing or having people look at you as a sexual object I hope for your sake you are truly done with or portraying that lifestyle
Maybe change your profile image.
@@kelliintexas3575 mind your own damn business
Ignore the comments below. I’m so proud of you and you do not have to give up your sexuality and femininity. Reclaim it and fk anyone that has an issue with it.
@@kelliintexas3575you first.
she;s kinda full of chit... first she says she gave all of her money to her pimp.. later she said working as a waitress didnt pay enough...
it didn't pay enough to go through school and also she was emotionally controlled by him
I feel like people that have dealt with trauma like her don’t realize, she’s very equipped mentally to work at a high level of trafficking investigating. I mean, the way her trauma forced her brain to process hard realities, left her with such a capable brain and such a good way to articulate hard concepts. She really should know how smart she is and that her noble cause would be deemed honorable anywhere and anytime in human existence
She is so energetic. It's cool to listen to her because she keeps talking and telling stories. You essentially just have to ask a one liner question every now and then and from then on she takes the wheel and runs the show. I like it.
Extraordinary survival stories. I lived in LV and never knew about this. I never went to the casinos unless it was for commemorations or to pick up clients to look at housing. I commend these courageous girls to speak up. The lady who is rescuing the girls is doing a great job saving the the other girls through this program. Thank you for showing this reality.
Annie is a saint. For real.
U didn’t know that Vegas was crawling with prostitution?! From truck stops to strung up streets hookers to high-end escorts” & call-girls of all walks of life, body-types and ages. C’mon… No one is this naive ;)
Thanks for watching Eva!
33:33 and into the next ten minutes- watch how she can play those tears! That’s not crying that’s ACTING and it’s bad acting at that. 36:24 after she flip flops between fake crying and not crying she ADMITS she’s an actress!! “The BEST at acting” she says.
She is acting for the camera!!
Annie- I don’t act. I am REAL at ALL times with my clients. I don’t do anything I don’t want to do. I love the work. I have days I want to stay home like anyone else at any other vocation. Annie DOES NOT speak for anyone but Annie.
I wish this interviewer was interviewing myself and others. Unlike Annie I would acknowledge the reality and without the lies. She’s acting for the $$$$ still! The government is her pimp now!!!
Annie is an impressive human being. If she's able to save at least one person from that life, she's a hero. Imagine doing it 7 days a week and taking calls on your personal phone. That's dedication. She's also SO smart. In my opinion, this is one of Peter's top 5 videos.
I agree and she seems very decent - very likeable
Even when I was young and wild on all my trips to Vegas never once did I ever think of calling an escort or anything like that because I always felt sorry for the women doing that. I always felt nobody wants to do this for a living. I'm glad you made this documentary. Please help these people!!
Never been seriously tempted to pay for this type of entertainment either. I’ve been to Vegas and seen them sitting around at the slot machines by themselves dressed way too sexy to be anything else but whores. No thanks
I am not sorry for them they knew exactly what they are getting into, did you listen to her? I have been to Vagas 8 times and I would never pay for sex.
@@MrNanah38bro can’t even spell Vegas, no way you’ve been there 8 times 💀
Men who speak like this make women like me cry bc it teaches us that there are safe men. Thankyou for being you.
@@MrNanah38but that's just her story silly. Not all women started off like her, wanting it. And she wanted it bc her life at home in her mind was worst bc of her father's abuse. Men are the reason alot of these things happen. Pay attention to what she was saying. If her life was better, she wouldn't have chosen this route. Alot of the woman are forced into this lifestyle, where you been?
Listen, I have watched a lot of UA-cam videos throughout my days. Your content, especially this video, is one of the best I have ever seen. There is no fakery or unnecessary cuts. It is just raw, pure material and an opportunity for people to really speak. Amazing, Peter! Annie and her team are a true blessing to the world!
Exactly!
Wow wow wow thank you Soooooo much! This is Annie Lobert from the video. You made my whole week!!
@@hookerforjesus wow so cool that you responded God bless you and your team’s endeavours! 🙏
well with the bunny ranch shut down I would bet more Creeps are lookin on the strip then before..
Metro is overwhelmed and their hands are tied more to help get rid of this industry in our Las Vegas..bending over backwards to avoid racism accusations and clean up our city...so it is flourishing and out of control. God bless our Metro police..and out of towners...do not come here for this purpose and contribute to it..find something else to do in Las Vegas besides this type of amusement..visit Red Rock Canyon..hike..bike..helicopter to see the city at night..visit the Grand Canyon a tour..go see Hoover Dam one of the wonders of our country. People live and raise children in Las Vegas area there is more to our city and Southern Nevada then Las Vegas we go to church and shop and buy homes.. rent a car and drive around the beltway get out of downtown eat where the locals eat...Lettys in the art district Bootleggers Italian on LV blvd south end. Weiss deli restaurant Henderson for amazing Breakfast and sandwiches..it is about respect when you visit LV is home to many.
