Raven Kaliana - My parents sold me to the porn industry
Raven Kaliana was made to work in the porn industry for many years by her parents. The money she earned paid the mortgage. The years of constant sexual abuse was dehumanising but when she witnessed another young child being killed as part of a movie she realised her lifeÌýwas in danger as her father was making similar plans for her.Ìý Eventually she escaped to San Francisco and got a job with a puppeteer. She devised a puppet show about her life, which has helped her deal with her traumatic past, and educate others about child abuse.
