Sex traffickers who wants to finish 'the game'

Elle Snow was trafficked for sex in California
She established 'Game Over' to protect other girls from the misery she went through.
"The [purchasers] truly need new items constantly," says Snow. "The [sex] traffickers jump at the chance to move their casualties every now and again so they can't become acquainted with anybody and it's harder for law implementation to track them."I met my trafficker a similar way a great deal of us do," says Snow. I met a person.' And he was here in country Humboldt County and we continued catching each other. I took this as destiny and he depicted it that way. He met my mother, he met my family. I didn't understand that I had been stamped."

'This is how prostitutes are made'
For Snow, it seemed to be a whirlwind, intoxicating romance.
But that quickly changed, once her boyfriend invited her to Sacramento and got her away from her family and friends.
"The next morning, I woke up and this man was standing in front of me. He had these 6 inch heels which I've never worn heels in my life being 6 feet tall and this little pink skirt. I've never worn pink in my life. And he wanted me to put these on and told me I had to get to work."

At first, Snow thought he was kidding.

"I told him 'I'm on vacation, like, what are you talking about?' And he's telling me you're not you anymore. This is not your name. Your name is now 'Angel.'" Snow recalls.

"There was no real way to escape this circumstance. He took my garments, my shoes, my keys, my telephone, and in the end he began saying he is not who he said he was, that he's really a pimp, and this is the means by which whores are made."

Snow wanted to run, but the trafficker threatened to harm her 14-year-old sister.
"The next thing I know was being taken to a brothel," Snow says. "I was trafficked throughout the [San Francisco] Bay Area for eight months of my life."
He was dragging my body to a car when I woke up.

Snow says she tried to escape several times. Usually her trafficker would laugh at her, but one time,n particular stands out, when an attempt to leave became physical and she feared her life was at risk.
"I punched him and knocked his tooth out and he got up; I ran into the bathroom. And then for the next few hours I was beat bloody," she recalls. "I was strangled. He was dragging my body to a car when I woke up. My throat was so swollen and black and blue. I still have busted capillaries in it from all that."

Surviving 'The Game
Snow eventually managed to escape with the help of a friend. In 2014, she testified against her trafficker, David Bernard Anderson, who was on trial, accused of trafficking a 16-year-old girl.
Anderson, who went by the moniker "King David," was convicted and sentenced to nine years in prison.
During that time, Snow realized Anderson was one of many men and women following a set of carefully laid-out rules and guidelines for how to force women into prostitution.
"What happened to me was called 'The Game,' this monstrous beast that is this world of sex trafficking," she explains. "These guys have a complete structure, they have books, they have documentaries, they have podcasts."

Kyla Baxley was the lead investigator on this case, for Humboldt County's District Attorney's Office.
"It's significant to remember victims of sexual assault and exploitation didn't choose this," says Baxley. "Realizing that it was happening here in Humboldt, and having an interaction with Elle Snow, being one of the victims, really helped raised awareness of this issue in the community."
Humboldt County District Attorney Investigator Kyla Baxley was named "Investigator of the Year" by the California Sexual Assault Investigators Association.
And through the course of the trial, Snow came to two important conclusions. None of this was her fault and it hadn't happened by accident.
In 2016, she founded the anti-trafficking non-profit Game Over, dead-set on protecting other girls from the trauma and misery she went through herself.
"I called Kyla and I told her, I'm going to do something about this," says Snow. "I'm going to make the world know about 'The Game.' They need to know or else they are susceptible to it."

Now Snow spends many of her days monitoring sex ads on online classified sites, looking for trends.
