Concluding January's Human Trafficking Awareness Month, The Office of Attorney General Derek Schmidt is proud to present a free and open to the public evening with human trafficking survivor Rebecca Bender, with assistance from the Douglas County Human Trafficking Task Force.

Rebecca Bender, CEO & Founder, RBI, Survivor Leader and Author of In Pursuit of Love, Rebecca thought she found her fairytale when she moved to Las Vegas with her boyfriend. But her dream became her nightmare when her boyfriend became her pimp at the age of 19. Trapped in a life of chaos, coerced into prostitution, abused and controlled by her trafficker, Rebecca was forced into sex trafficking for nearly six years. Many attempted escapes, two brandings, and several pimps later, Federal Investigators raided the home, allowing her an eventual avenue for escape.
