None of these women chose this life. These are women who disappeared and are officially identified as a missing person. They are victims of human trafficking. The stories behind these women are tragic and heartbreaking.
These women were taken from 13 countries and 24 states. The photographs have come directly from websites belonging to the AAV group. Some of the photographs were actually taken at the various AAV escort resorts. None of these women were engaged in the adult sex business before they disappeared. The youngest was ten years old. Many were young mothers. Three were pregnant.
This information has already been reported to the appropriate law enforcement agencies. Some of these women were on the same AAV webpage with Amy Bradley.
