New clothing, jewelry, or gifts without having money

Predators often buy victims nice, expensive gifts such as designer watches, jewelry and name brand clothing. They may also take targets on extravagant dates such as to fancy restaurants or sports games. And it doesn’t stop with gifts—they often give victims drugs and alcohol.

“He bought me things that I never had before and that I couldn’t afford. That all changed when I left my home and ran away with him. He sold me for sex.”

Nancy, 17-year-old survivor
