Episode 188: The Dark Life of a “Sex Trafficker/Pimp”
She never used to sleepwalk but maybe that’s what happens when you hit your 30s? Her life was spiraling out of control because of it.
She woke up one morning dangling off the side of 4th floor balcony. She had no idea how she even got there. She could have seriously hurt herself or even died… she was just thankful he was there to save her.
Or that time she woke up covered in blood. He told her that he found her roaming around at night, in a daze, with a knife in her hand. He thinks she murdered someone…
She started panicking. That’s exactly what he wanted. If history had taught him anything it was that she was close. Close to taking her own life. He wanted to break her.
