Anneke Lucas was a sex slave to Europe's elite when she was six years old. Pimped out by her mother and by a Belgian cabinet minister to VIPs, European heads of state and a member of a royal family, she recounts the abuse and says

I was used for an S&M show, on a low stage, chained up with an iron dog collar, and made to eat human feces.

When she bravely spoke up to the drugged, bored rich adults who were abusing her and other children, she was taken to a cellar and was shown the fresh body of a young murder victim to ensure her silence. When she was ten and of no use to the rapists any more, she was tortured and ready to be killed on a butcher's block when her life was spared.

Lucas has now joined The New Abolitionists, a group that recognises that legal and decriminalised prostitution laws encourage sex trafficking. The New Abolitionists advocate for the Nordic model. There are some good people in this group: Rachel Moran, Swanee Hunt, Ruchira Gupta, Autumn Burris. These are women who have been trafficked themselves or have been fighting sex trafficking for a long time.

I'm glad that Lucas has such a credible platform. This can only be good for survivors or SRA and help bring ritual abuse into the light.
