"Hi I don't know if this is the right place but my friend [name redacted] is being forced to do escort work by her boyfriend [name redacted]. He controls all her money and won't let her leave their apartment in Brandon. She's 20 but she's terrified of him. He's hit her before. She told me he makes her see 5-6 men a night and keeps all the money. She showed me bruises last week. I'm really scared for her. Can you help?"
