This is The Guardian.

Hey, it's Mike.

Today we bring you the second episode of the extraordinary story of Julia,

a woman who escaped modern slavery right here in the UK.

If you haven't listened to yesterday's episode,

I strongly suggest you go back and listen to that one first.

And a warning before we start, this series includes references to suicidal thoughts

and descriptions of sexual exploitation and violence.

So please take care when listening.

It's been seven months since Julia was trafficked to the UK.

She's still thousands of pounds in debt to the gang he brought to her

and only has a couple of pounds left in her pocket.

She can't find a way of making money, even enough to buy food.

Julia sees an advert online in Polish for escort services,

and they say no documents are required.

She wants us to make it clear that she didn't want to do this,

but felt she had no other choice but to respond.

Immediately they call her back.

The woman on the other end of the phone tells her she'll need to get a bus to slow.

When Julia arrives at the address, she's welcomed in with open arms.

I was scared the girls started looking to me, they started explaining about massage.

They give me cigarette and they asked me do I eat?
