Natasha

Natasha met a boy at a disco in her native Ukraine who promised her work as a nurse in Germany. After a time, she traveled with the boy to a house in Germany, where he sent her
inside.

"The owner was a middle-aged man. He told me some words in bad Russian and pushed me into a room and locked me there. I couldn't understand what had happened to me…For two weeks I was forced to sexually service these men. I was crying all the time. I wasn't allowed to go out and I was scared. [A] woman brought me food. Once the woman asked me how old I was. She didn't believe that I was only 16...The morning of the second week, she came to me again and said she was very sorry for me. She gave me some money and explained how to escape…I can't live in my village because the pimps are looking for me…I don't have any place to live."
