At the age of twelve, Patricia Munoz was placed in a group home after authorities found her severely beaten by her mother, whose mental illness made her unfit to keep custody of her daughter.  Ms. Munoz had also been sexually molested by two uncles as a child.  Unhappy at the group home, Ms. Munoz ran away repeatedly, before being seduced by Big D when she was 15, who—despite his charm— turned out to be a pimp who kept a “stable” of up to a dozen prostituted girls at his home.  Required by Big D to earn $1,000 per day pleasing sex buyers —while kept enslaved, with no days off, and beatings liberally administered for infractions—Ms. Munoz finally escaped on the eve of her 18th birthday.  Today, Ms. Munoz is undergoing therapeutic counseling while hoping to find a way to attend college and start a new life.
