In 2014, Jennifer Laude was living her best life in the Philippines. She was engaged to a German man and she worked enough to help support her family who lived in a small village. But she was also a part-time sex worker. By the time she met PFC Joseph Scott Pemberton, she hadn’t work in the sex industry in a while. But on that particular day, she wanted to give it a go.  Jennifer was harboring a secret though…she was a transgender woman. And when Pemberton found out during the heat of the moment….
