I would take my clothes off, I would take my bra off. I would take my shorts off, and then my underwear. I was told that I had to show sensitive parts of my body. If they told us to touch ourselves, we would do it.

In 12 hours sometimes I would get 15 customers. There were different nationalities – Americans, some were from the Philippines, Holland, Sweden.
To those who helped to get us raided, thank you for what you did. There was a time when I wanted to tell others but I thought twice. I think I was scared because she was still my aunt.
