Josh Elam, now a grown man, in 2015 shared his story about being trafficked for years in Florida, starting at age 5,
Here is another story about him with some excerpts I was able to copy and paste here

Jerome Elam is an author, lecturer, and human trafficking survivor. When he was 5-years-old Elam's stepfather started molesting him. Before long his stepfather started using him for child pornography and then introduced him to his pedophile ring.
"The first time I was trafficked as a child, I was handcuffed to a truck stop bathroom for six hours, raped and sodomized and abused," said Elam.
Salt Lake City — (KUTV) Jerome Elam is an author, lecturer, and human trafficking survivor. When he was 5-years-old Elam's stepfather started molesting him. Before long his stepfather started using him for child pornography and then introduced him to his pedophile ring.
"The first time I was trafficked as a child, I was handcuffed to a truck stop bathroom for six hours, raped and sodomized and abused," said Elam.
Unfortunately, Elam's story is not new. This is a crime that happens in America every day.
"Americans are truly some of the biggest perpetrators and provide most of the demand for child sex trafficking that's going around," said Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes
He says the average age of a trafficked child is between 10 and 12-years-old. It's a crime that steals the innocence of children, leaving a shell behind, if not killing them.
"Only perhaps about 10 percent of those who are stuck in the life of being trafficked will ever get out alive," said Reyes.

^^ FURTHER PROOF that most "survivors" are FRAUDS!
IF they survive they are nonfunctional basket cases suffering from DID, etc. ANYONE who has worked in the field KNOWS this from firsthand experience.

Why are you outright assuming he hasn't been in intensive therapy for years

Why are you ASSuming that he has?
Intensive therapy does NOT help true DID.
Have you worked in the field? I have. I have seen it firsthand.

DID can be helped by therapy. Some patients even experience full re-integration. Not all abuse victims have DID. Most Don't. Most abuse survivors ARE NOT incapacitated messes. Many you would never have a clue what they've been through.
