Visiting Amsterdam's OTHER Red Light District

Jesslin spent fifteen years working in the red light districts of the Netherlands, starting when she was underage. She describes daily rape, violent pimps, and a knife held to her neck.

She talks about clients removing condoms, pimps using her own Facebook photos to blackmail her, and police who didn't act when she went to them. She eventually went back undercover with a camera to film human trafficking herself, because nobody else was going to.

This is her account, at length, in her own words.
