Key takeaways 5
Malice describes her entry into sex work at age 24 as a willing participant in a self-trafficking scenario, where a woman offered her $300/hour to perform at bachelor parties while she was homeless and addicted to heroin.
She recounts a traumatic incident where she was drugged with ecstasy cut with heroin by a female partner she worked with, leading to a non-consensual sexual encounter that she describes as a 'date rape' due to her incapacitation.
Malice discusses the California decriminalization law, arguing that while it aims to protect workers, it creates a complex landscape where some individuals pay for services due to social isolation or inability to form relationships, rather than just criminal elements.
Her recovery was triggered by moving to Portland and joining The MENTOR program, which utilizes former addicts as counselors, providing a peer-support system that she found more effective than traditional rehab.
She highlights the bureaucratic barriers faced by formerly incarcerated individuals, noting that without an ID, one cannot get a job or address, and without an address, one cannot get an ID, creating a cycle of homelessness.
