They were living with health guru Kat Torres, but that was all they knew.
Torres was found guilty of enslaving and trafficking one of those women, and he was given an eight-year prison sentence. It has also been reported to the World Service that accusations have been brought against her concerning a second woman.
How did the former model who hung out with Leonardo DiCaprio and appeared on the covers of global publications come to manipulate and seduce her fans for sex?
Ana describes her reaction upon discovering Torres’ work as “kind of resembled hope for me.”
Ana was not one of the women who went missing that the FBI searched for, but she was also a victim of Torres’ compulsion and would play a crucial role in their recovery.
She claims she was drawn to Torres’ journey from a destitute Brazilian favela to worldwide catwalks and her time spent partying with A-list Hollywood stars.
“She appeared to have overcome abuse, violence, and all these traumatic experiences from her childhood,” Ana told News Brazil and Eye Investigations.
