Kutcher Saves Sex Slave Victims

SAVING lives from sexual predators, one child at a time.

- Vanessa Papas

WHEN Karla Jacinto was rescued from the clutches of a sex trafficking syndicate she had been raped an estimated 43 200 times.  She was forced to have sex with up to 30 men a day, seven days a week, for four years before finally being rescued by police in 2008. What makes her story even more chilling is that Karla was just 12 years old when she was dragged into the sex slave industry. Her story highlights the brutal realities of a dark underworld that has destroyed the lives of tens of thousands of girls across the globe just like Karla. Today Karla is now 28 years old and an outspoken advocate against human trafficking. She, like many other survivors, is hoping new technology by Hollywood actor and tech investor Ashton Kutcher’s company, Thorn, will stop the abuse of other children, teens and women kidnapped and abducted for the commercial sex industry. Most of us know Kutcher for his role in the comedy series Two And A Half Men and various other blockbuster movies including What Happens In Vegas, The Guardian and the cult hit Dude, Where’s My Car. But you may be surprised to hear that Kutcher is not only an actor and producer, but a businessman and tech investor who is dedicating his time to the fight against sexual abuse.
