Morning Update: New report analyzes sex trafficking transport networks
Jennifer Holleman rests on the bed in her apartment where she has a tribute wall to her late daughter Maddison in Kentville, N.S. on Friday, February 19, 2021. Ms. Holleman's daughter Maddison Fraser died when she was 21-years-old. She had been a passenger in a fatal car crash with a man believed to have purchased her for sexual services. He also died in the crash. In the roughly two and a half years before her death, Ms. Fraser was sex trafficked across Alberta and Ontario. Already isolated from her family, her perpetrators also controlled her with violence, withholding her identification cards and preventing her from tending to her baby whose picture is also on Ms. Holleman's wall.
