A woman has revealed how her own mother sold her into sex slavery at the age of six years old.
Anneke Lucas said that she was sold into a Belgian aristocratic pedophile network in 1969, where boys and girls were raped, tortured, and murdered, per Daily Mail.
Lucas mentioned that the horrors began when she was forced to take part in a masked orgy at a castle. The 58-year-old explained how her mother “took over from the pimps” by keeping Lucas out of school and taking her to “events” within the pedophile ring.
Lucas said that her family appeared “quite normal” from the outside.
She said the grooming started when she was four years old, after her mother remarried and moved to Flanders.
Her mother’s cleaning lady in Flanders took her on “outings,” along with a host of other children that “seemed to change all the time,” according to the report.
These trips went on for about a year before the cleaning lady and her husband took her “to the first event in the network,” which was a masked orgy in a castle. “Once I was being taken to the network, my mother actually took over from the pimps,” Lucas said.
“I don't really know what happened exactly but I tried to tell my mother in the words that I had available to me at the time and instead of protecting me, she actually started to drive me herself.”
She continued: “I was trafficked into a pedophile network that actually at the time consisted of the VIPs of the country... They were all quite powerful and had important posts. It was a mix of politicians, high-placed officials, government officials, clergy as well as aristocrats.”
She was dissuaded from telling anyone about the abuse, because “it was made clear from the start that if I were to speak out then I would be killed.”
In 1972, she was reportedly “traded” to an international network, where she was trained to be an “elite slave” that spied and made men fall in love with her from the age of nine.
She eventually got out of both the international and Belgian networks, but it is unclear how she did so.
Lucas estimated that she had been actively raped for over 1,700 hours before the age of 12, and she finally left Belgium in 1980.
She is now settled in New York with her own family, and she founded Liberation Prison Yoga in 2014, where she helps people who have been incarcerated or abused as a child.
