Regent Univ. Helps Trafficking Victims Get a Fresh Start: ‘God Loves Stories of Beauty from Ashes’

Regent University is taking an active role in the fight against human trafficking by helping survivors get a fresh start. Regent Law School’s Center for Global Justice is providing human trafficking victims in Virginia legal help to clear their records thanks to a new state law Regent helped get passed in the state.

While some victims of human trafficking may eventually find freedom from their traffickers, the legal charges of prostitution – and many other crimes they were forced to commit – follow them for the rest of their lives. CBN News recently sat down with one survivor named Olivia who shared her story of how she became a sex trafficking victim and the legal woes that followed her as a result.

“I had to do drugs which meant I had to possess drugs which is illegal,” explained Olivia. “I had to steal, I had to hurt other people, sometimes other women, because if I didn’t – I didn’t know what he would do to me.”
