Scary read, honestly. I’m shocked she’s only got 8 years so far considering she started grooming a 14 year old for essentially slavery. The summary of their interview with her in the end absolutely paints an unhinged psychopath - as if her actions weren’t enough already.

I can’t imagine the state of mind her victims had to be in to hand over 10s of thousands of dollars a month and somehow still not consider that they have the means to escape.

Kudos to the lady who managed to get away early and pursued the issue so the others could be rescued in the end, but ffs if only the law enforcement believed her earlier so much suffering could have been avoided…

It’s just the first 8

How did the former model who partied with Leonardo DiCaprio and graced the cover of international magazines come to groom her followers and lure them into sexual exploitation?

If she partied with any celebrities, she was probably working on getting them to buy her product.

Her Rommate, Luzer Twersky, has a fascinating name.

Man, fuck this woman. ONLY EIGHT YEARS??? She ruined so many lives. Seems she should get a lot more than eight years.

That's just for one of the offenses. She's still being charged.

Also, she committed these crimes in the USA, couldn’t she also be extradited in 8 years to be tried again in the jurisdiction where the crime was committed after serving a sentence in the country where she recruited her victims?

As far as I'm aware, yes. It seems a lot like she'll be getting whatever is coming to her.

These people are monsters.

Holy shit, this is dark.

When she arrived at Torres’ apartment, though, she quickly realised it did not match the curated perfection projected on the influencer’s Instagram.

“It was shocking because the house was really messy, really dirty, didn’t smell good,” she says.

I think a surprising number of influencers would be exposed as complete fakes if we got to see behind the camera.

Being an Instagram influencer isn’t about living the “perfect” life, it’s about projecting and demonstrating the “perfect” life in the tiny window you show.

What an absolutely ridiculous takeaway from this article…

Well… there are people expressing “I would never have expected she lived in squalor and did all this shady stuff” takes, and it seems worth remembering that these influencers are a fantasy.
