The teen told police that she was approached by the pair at a hotel while she was with friends, and she contacted them again via phone and Instagram, and they encouraged her to leave home on Oct. 25, 2015.
During the time that the teen worked for the pair, she said that Rogers worked as a pimp and that she was forced to have sex with between eight and ten people a day. She worked three days a week and was hit in the face when she said that she did not “want to have sex anymore.”
