== Early life ==
As a child Theresa's father was a business advocate and his job always required their family to move from city to city. A stop along the way, the family believed the it was just another new city and the family just had to start over again. Theresa was 15 years old when the family moved to a high class Detroit suburb. Throughout school she had a slight love for one of her male classmates. As they grew closer the boy offered her a ride home after school one day. She accepted thinking nothing of it, when the boy took her to his house her life changed forever. Upon entering the house she was drugged and then raped. Shocked and mentally destroyed by what had happened Theresa kept it a secret from her family and went to school the next day. When she got to school she was approached by her once crush and he told her that his older cousin had taken pictures of her while the crime was being performed and she would have to "work" off the pictures. Her family was religious and she felt awful and could not let her family know of these events so over the next two years she was abused sexually. Theresa would be pulled out of class by the traffickers, and her classmates and also teachers knew not to bother as to what the consequences would be. She was also called in the middle of the night having to sneak out just to be exploited and used brutally in a basement full of men. The people who used her always knew where she was and threatened to take hers and her family members life if she spoke a word about what had been going on. All of this trauma happening Theresa's grades dropped as one would expect. Her family believed it was just a teenage girl with hormones and going through changes, no one ever thought or believed she could possibly be getting trafficked because she was home every night. One night she was taken from her house when she was driven to an old hotel with twenty men awaiting her and she was again brutally raped, the police found her and took her home but she refused to talk about what had happened. After two years of her sexual her dad was transferred to another city and the trafficking stopped.
