Surviving Sex Trafficking with Ilonka Deaton

At age 12 she won a national singing competition in South-Africa that landed her a recording deal, but her music manager had something different in mind. Shortly after her first album release that same year, her manager brutally raped her and threatened to kill her and her family if she spoke a word.

For the next 5 years, he held her in sexual slavery bondage while selling her likeness and performances to big casino CEO's and conglomerates. The grip of his hand kept her in slavery until a fortuitous run-in with an off-duty police officer unraveled his criminal secret.

Listen now to this incredible story of survival, forgiveness, and spiritual transformation.
