Journalist Jonathan M. Katz has created a TikTok video about his investigation of Sen. Britt’s anecdote about speaking to a sex trafficking victim, implying that she had been repeatedly raped as a 12 year old upon being recently taken to the United States. Katz found that the person in question, Karla Jacinto Romero really was abducted into sexual slavery when she was 12, but it happened in Mexico 15-20 years ago. In 2015, she courageously spoke to Congress about the horror she went through. Senator Britt dishonors her by using her story as part of a lie. This Raw Story article has the links Katz found in his research and his video explains the whole thing.
