Stacy Chambliss reached out to WMUK in early 2022. She had been trafficked for two months in 2019, and now she was coming forward as a whistleblower. Stacy wanted her voice to be heard.
For over a year and a half, WMUK sought records and conducted interviews to tell Stacy's story, and examine the system that is supposed to help trafficking survivors.
Advisory: The stories include disturbing subject matter, including descriptions of sexual violence.
Part 1: A human trafficking survivor in court
Part 2: Before one woman was trafficked, she tried to get help
