YOUR SPORTS.
>> DENNIS: HI EVERYONE.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
ONE LOCAL ORGANIZATION IS USING
A UNIQUE APPROACH TO BRING
AWARENESS TO THE DANGERS OF SEX
TRAFFICKING IN OUR AREA.
OUR SARAH WINKELMANN JOINS US
LIVE FROM THE BRAINERD STUDIO
WITH THE DETAILS.
SARAH.
>> SARAH: YEAH, DENNIS, ONE
HACKENSACK WOMAN IS USING HER
OUTDOOR WOOD FIRED OVEN TO BAKE
OVER 10,000 LOAVES OF BREAD THAT
SHE THEN SOLD AT LOCAL MARKET
AND THEN TOOK THAT PROFIT TO
DONATE TO A CAUSE THAT HITS
CLOSE TO HOME.
>> BEING EXPLOITED SEXUALLY AND
PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY AND
EMOTIONALLY IN A SCHEME FOR HIS
OWN PLEASURE.
>> THAT'S RACHEL, A 2008
GRADUATE OF
WALKER-HACKENSACK-AKELEY HIGH
SCHOOL WHO EXPERIENCED SEX
TRAFFICKING CLOSE TO HOME, AND
TODAY SHARES HER STORY IN HOPES
THAT OTHERS WON'T GO THROUGH
WHAT SHE DID.
>> PUTTING A FACE ON IT AND
SHOWING THAT THIS DOES HAPPEN TO
NORMAL PEOPLE FROM SMALL TOWN
MINNESOTA.
>> IN ORDER TO GET THE MESSAGE
OUT, ONE HACKENSACK WOMAN WHO IS
A RETIRED MARRIAGE AND FAMILY
THERAPIST STARTED BAKING BREAD
TO RAISE FUNDS.
>> THE DAMAGE THAT SEXUAL
ASSAULT DOES TO PEOPLE, IT'S A
CORE -- I WOULD SAY EVEN A SOUL
INJURY.
>> AND IT STARTS WITH A FIVE
STEP GROOMING PROJECT.
>> HE WAS A LAWYER, FOUR YEARS
OLDER THAN ME, VERY ATTRACTIVE.
HE HAD LOTS OF FEMALE FRIENDS.
EVERYBODY WANTED TO DATE HIM,
VERY INTELLIGENT.
>> BUT NO MATTER HOW SMART THEY
APPEAR, THIS GROUP OF WOMEN IS
EVEN STRONGER AND THEY ARE READY
TO STOP SEX TRAFFICKING.
>> IT'S EASY TO GET RILED UP AND
EXCITED ABOUT THESE ISSUES, BUT
IT'S HARD TO KEEP HAVING THESE
CONVERSATIONS ON A DAILY BASIS.
>> YEAH, ONE LOAF AT A TIME
HOPES TO CONTINUE THAT
CONVERSATION OF LOCAL SEX
TRAFFICKING, AND THAT INCLUDES
EDUCATION AND GIVING WARNING
SIGNS TO HELP LOCAL YOUTH AND
YOUNG ADULTS STAY SAFE.
DENNIS.
>> DENNIS: THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
SARA FOR THAT LIVE REPORT.
