MONTANA HUMAN TRAFFICKING SURVIVOR [SHARES HER STORY]

Montana
WESTERN MONTANA — The Montana Department of Justice reports the state saw an 871% increase in cases, from 7 in 2015 to 68 in 2021.

Britney is a survivor of human trafficking. Her journey started in Missoula and after 8½ years it ended with her trafficker behind bars. But her story is real, raw, and emotional.

In 2010, at 19 years old, Britney met a 28-year-old man who would later become her trafficker. But as all human trafficking cases do, it started as a relationship — and later became an emotional connection with manipulation at the center of it all.
