Victim-Mariana hernandez

I am 13 years old and I was once in a brothel in Cambodia. I was 12 when my father took me to a house one day and sold me to an old man. Before he left he came up to me and said that some day I will understand why I’m there. I was so confused and didn’t know what was happening. When he left and the old man told this woman to come and to take me to another room with the rest of the girls. There were more than 100 girls from ages to 14 to 26 and they were all naked. All the girls looked at me with a horrified face and that made me even more scared. It was really bad and I couldn’t believe why a person can do this to someone especially my own father. The man who took me was very mean; he would even rape the girls himself because he would always get drunk. While I was there I met a woman who was pregnant by the old man. She was 7 months and she told me the old man took her and raped her. I asked her why does she let him do that because she said it wasn’t the only time, and her response will always hunt me for the rest of my life. She said that she was in love with him, she was there for 5 years and ever since she was there she fell more and more in love with him. She said he blesses her to be pregnant, but what scared me the most was that she had already had 6 kids with him. I asked her how long was how long was she there and she said she was the first girl he had abducted. I then noticed what was happening and I wanted to leave so bad. The old man told me that I was ready for my first client I had already thought of a way t escape. In the house there are 12 rooms were the girls go and satisfy their clients and knew that if I chose the one closes to the door then I could run and escape. i tried many times but have failed. On my ninth time I made it out.
