A Mexican woman who at the age of 12 was lured into sexual slavery has told how she was raped 43,200 times.
Karla Jacinto, now 23, was forced to have sex with 30 men a day during her four-year ordeal. She was rescued in 2008 – but not before a group of corrupt police had found her, and demanded sexual favours instead of rescuing her.
"These minors are being abducted, lured, and yanked away from their families"

"I thought they were disgusting," she told CNN.
"They knew we were minors. We were not even developed. We had sad faces. There were girls who were only 10 years old. There were girls who were crying. They told the officers they were minors and nobody paid attention."
Beaten and abused by pimps, she was forced to work from 10am to midnight. She fell pregnant to one of the pimps and gave birth at 15. The man used the infant as leverage, she said.
"I came from a dysfunctional family. I was sexually abused and mistreated from the age of five by a relative," she said.
