shadedJennifer Kempton, a former sex slave, bravely shares the shocking details of how she got sucked into the dangerous and dehumanizing world of sexual exploitation in Columbus, Ohio.

As Jennifer’s must-hear story proves, there’s no American city or vulnerable man, woman, or child who’s safe from the tragic horrors of sexual exploitation and human trafficking. And the problem is only getting worse.

Now a free woman, Jennifer has created the organization, survivorsink.org! They help former sex slaves and survivors of human trafficking by offering “cover-up tattoos” or removal of brandings and/or scars victims received while being trafficked.
