Theresa Flores
American survivor of and campaigner against sex trafficking
Theresa Flores is an American survivor of and campaigner against sex trafficking, and the creator of Save Our Adolescents from Prostitution (S.O.A.P.), a nonprofit organization that aims to help prevent sex trafficking.
She is a devout Catholic and has attributed her faith in God to sustaining her through her ordeal. [1]
Early life and trafficking
As a child, Flores' father was a business executive and his job required their family to move from city to city.[2] When she was 15 and living in Detroit, Flores was allegedly drugged and raped by a male classmate at Birmingham Groves High School.
The rapist's older cousins had taken pictures of the attack, and used it for sexual blackmail that lasted two years.[3] After two years of abuse her dad was transferred to another city and the trafficking stopped.
It took Flores many years to speak about her experiences.[4]
