Ep. 6 The Triumph
Bitterness and anger well up in Ruby as she tries to move on with her life. Can she overcome this and truly heal?
A job offer to work in a computer shop was too good of an opportunity for 16-year-old Ruby to pass up
But it was too late. Ruby realized she’d been tricked — trafficked into the dark world of online sexual exploitation of children.
She wasn’t allowed to leave. And no one knew where she was… Yet.
The fight was on — for her and for those determined to find her and rescue her.
This is not a story of a victim – it is one of a fierce survivor.
It is a story of redemption and hope. Today, Ruby is a leader, an advocate and a woman with a mission and a message to share.
