Karla had been sexually abused by a relative since she was just five years old. When Karla was about twelve years old, she was waiting around a subway station for her friends. An older man approached her and began connecting with her, telling her that he had also been abused as a child. Shortly after, Karla agreed to take a trip with the man.
