Reported May 2, 2011, by Mike Jaccarino of NY Daily News
- It's been seven months since an 11-year-old vanished from her Bronx home for five days but horrific details of how she was turned into a sex slave are just emerging.
- Lured from home by a sexual predator, the fifth-grader was pimped out to a series of men in a lower East Side flat.
- There are very few cases that involve someone as young as 10 or 11 years old, but on the flip side, once they hit 13, there are thousands of cases like that.

- A lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court claims the Web site Backpage.com aided in child prostitution by providing a place for a pimp to advertise a 14-year-old St. Louis girl for sex.
- The attorney for the girl, Robert Pedroli, says she was a runaway in 2009 and met a woman who persuaded her to become a prostitute.
- That woman paid to advertise the girl for sex on Backpage.com, according to the lawsuit.
- The suit claims Backpage.com knew that prostitution was being facilitated through the Web site.
