Self-Help Instagram Influencer Arrested for Sex-Trafficking her followers: Kat Torrres

In the past few years, self-care and mental health have become a big focal point of discussion. We’ve become so comfortable discussing personal things going on and also stressing the importance of taking care of your mental health. And especially on social media there are many corners of the internet where you can find influencers that discuss those very topics. One of those people was a 30-year-old named Kat Torres. Kat started out speaking on mental health and self-care until later, her beliefs started to become a bit twisted. She claimed to have a gift she called “the voice,” which was an all-knowing voice that could predict the future that only she could hear. This attracted many people, including many women coming from broken situations, and many years into Kats practice, she would actually ask her top followers to come out to the States and live with her. But what these women didn't know is that they wouldn’t be walking into a self-improvement retreat but instead a human trafficking ring. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
