At 18, I told a rich man I’d do anything if he helped me pay for college. The next night, he sent me to a hotel room… and when I saw eight men waiting inside, I knew I’d made a terrible mistake.

I never told him how close I was to quitting my university position. If he had known, he would have sacrificed everything for me, and I couldn’t let him do that.

Then, one night after work, I met Charles Bennett.
