Due to\u00a0her arrest and the ensuing stigma and shame, she lied to her family and friends, never telling them\u00a0that she was arrested. She felt even more alone than ever. The diversion court sentenced her to six\u00a0months of services from a community agency. While Sarah was thankful to be receiving services\u00a0instead of jail time, she struggled to find a job because her sessions always seemed to interfere with her interviews and she didn\u2019t even bother to complete applications with employers that required her\u00a0to submit to a criminal record check. After two years of working with an advocate and being connected to an attorney, Sarah was able to file a motion to vacate the convictions for crimes she was forced to commit because of her trafficking situation. She now works full-time and lives independently.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 10px; line-height: 1.4;\">*These are not actual photos of the survivors depicted in the story.
