I Was Trafficked As A 22-Year-Old Massage Therapy Student, A Conversation with Teresa J. Helm, Jeffrey Epstein Trafficking Survivor And Advocate

Teresa was 22 years-old message therapy student when she was offered the opportunity to work for a high-profile client as a traveling massage therapist. Instead, she ended up being groomed, sexually assaulted, and trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and his network of exploiters.

During this episode, Teresa shares her experience being a sex trafficking victim of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, how she’s used that experience to help other victims in her position at the National Center of Sexual Exploitation’s Law Center, and how parents and caregivers can recognize the signs of grooming.
