0:00 I always want to know what kind of curses they think that can do like I'll turn you into a frog I will I think they're saying that even in court she like I think that girl cat really believes that she can do magic I used to think that I could turn street lights off by just like thinking about it really hard and you would wait long enough for the street light to turn off 6 hours later and you're like ████ did [Music] it all right I got a really sad story to share and it is about influ influencer so you are going to love it uh there's a influencer from Brazil her name's cat Torres and um what she did is so insanely like uh influential influential is a good word all right so she is a um she moved to the US she became this

0:51 famous sort of uh life coach Guru for women nice and women need the women empowerment help yeah they do she's been sentenced to 8 years in prison for sex trafficking and slavery I hope they were not women 8 years just for that so here's the crazy thing is yeah that's another thing that sentence eight years here or Brazil back in Brazil your jails are crazier so here's the the crazy thing is that these stories they go into really insane detail but just to like for this I'm going to kind of mash them all together uh so this is how she ran her little scheme she used her influence to attract women to like move to the US so if she had admirers that were like messaging her and being like oh wow how do I be like you or whatever um she would get them to come over to her home she had

1:43 this like mansion in Austin later in her career and she would collect all their documents like their driver's license or passport whatever else they had and um and then she would keep it and eventually force them to work at strip clubs and be prostitutes no way and then uh eventually they had this rule of where if they didn't come home every day with a thousand bucks they weren't let into the house and then it got raised to 3,000 per day and they're sex trafficed yeah they're sex traffic and these are just like fans of hers that like she convinced to like move here so she's like she lures them from like women empowerment you can do this too and then they'll be like how can I be empowered she goes by being a ho yeah they all thought they were coming here to like study under her or like be like uh she would Mentor them it's like Nexium is that how Nexium did it remember Alison

2:33 ma yeah that's exactly how they did it it started as a women's empowerment thing and Keith rer would say like I'll get you out of your head I'll make you stop like worrying about all your ████ and like teach you how to be a woman and ████ and like Alice and Mack would recruit people that way is that the sex cult and then they tattooed Each Other Well I like the matching tattoos but then having sex and stuff all the time unless it's it it's on your own will that's kind of weird the sad thing is I mean not that this makes it any like worse or better but um they they weren't like forced into having sex like upper scale clientele they were just making ads online for like you know like just escort ads so was just straight up like Craigslist Rand yeah she would just cuz they would have to make 3,000 to get back in the house where all their stuff

3:23 was and where they lived if they didn't uh these girls said that they they would sleep on the street several times because they didn't make that amount H so she really wouldn't let them in so if they only made like 2,000 they wouldn't get like a hotel for like 200 or something I mean that's going to set them back a little bit I guess maybe it racks up maybe if they don't show up for two days now they need 6,000 rather they didn't have you there to man's playing to them with they should do I know all smug sitting like that just saying it makes sense can't all have a high mentality well then well then here you go this will this will like be a good uh indicator for you they also believed at least one of them was quoted as saying she believed that cat Tes had witchcraft Powers which also prevented her from escaping o that's a hell of a mix so it's a little bit more than just like oh I need this money it's more like she they thought that she was going to put a

4:14 curse on them wow so maybe yeah it's a little bit more susceptible so then um whenever the woman the women would speak about not wanting to be prostitutes anymore cat would threaten them uh saying that she'll report them to the police because it's illegal what you're doing anyway so she would turn them in if they were to uh stop doing it and then uh she would also intimidate them with her boyfriend's like gun collection I guess the dude was like had a bunch of guns check these out yeah and and she would inadvertently like whenever they would like kind of speak up about like oh I don't want to do this anymore I want to leave then she would just like take them to a gun range and just sort of put it in front of them in a way to like nonthreatened threaten them you know what I mean oh wow all so then since those women were forced to cut contact with Society they were eventually like reported missing by like friends and family cuz a lot of people don't know like where they ended up I

5:06 and then so when investigators kind of traced them and found out that they were over there uh cat Torres made the girls record videos saying hey we're fine don't look for us anymore stop the search we're okay um and then a detective looked into that and kind of didn't feel like it was legit so then he eventually skirted around somehow contacted one of the women ended up FaceTiming them and then I think in the FaceTime video he could hear cat telling them like what to say and that uh that if they spoke up then she would uh she would kick them out and stuff so then they ended up moving in and rescuing the women the women uh I in this story the ones that I'm specifically talking about there's uh two they were they were rescued they ended up being returned back to Brazil uh cat Tes was arrested

5:57 sentenced to 8 years in a Brazilian prison uh but the investigators say that they there could have been up to 20 of these women cycled through or involved so probably more even probably more probably more that like got away or like did it for a while and then didn't but yeah it's crazy there's a lot of material on this right now because technically I think this might have happened in 2022 I think when this whole thing came to a close but now the sentencing is here so 8 years doesn't sound like a lot for this yeah especially if it ruins so many people's lives dude Smallville chick got like four she's already oh yeah the Nexium chick she's out no no not the the white girl Alice and that's not the Nexium chick no no I thought he said Mexican chick I was like not I thought he said Mexican chick too so this is that's cat other guy got life in prison the guy in charge yeah the main like weirdo she's bald but like this is

6:48 so look how the girls that they did it to that's them they're like they're so pretty it's so sad wait SC all the way up let ████ huh scho where all the way up that's her that's that's cat Tes that's the bad one that's a bad one those are the ones that she turned into like she's badad those are the ones you could P me into slavery baby come on oh ████ I think they could make four years four years you guys aren't charging enough that's what it is can make $1,000 a day really easy they can make 500 right now oh was that hey you're a little cheap dude good Lord I Che out on that house yeah you Che down house it's it's um yeah it's really sad that remember when we we covered this story before about this guy that got kidnapped and he was held like 100 ft from his home and that guy C also thought it was a curse and that he

7:38 couldn't there's something about this ████ belief though black magic stuff bro the Brazilian thing well I think she chooses her victims that belief yeah she definitely goes by su she's looking like yeah I think what a perfect kind of place though to be like Oh I'm a ████ like a life coach or whatever right and then you have people coming to you and then you can kind of sort out who's the most vulnerable it's like hey have you ever bought like some as scene on TV stuff and it's like yeah I have it's like okay yeah we should we should talk more it'll probably first start off as like you talk about crystals which is normal girl stuff crystals what are you like I'm like uh I like ████ rubies or whatever right are you a Gemini yeah oh have you ever like suck dick for money yeah and it just goes right into it you know what I mean I'm a Pisces i' be I deep through all the time you know like I'm a Pisces yeah crazy thing too

8:29 is there's like precursor to this were like uh you could tell that she probably tried the mild versions of these and then it got crazy and crazier cuz there's a girl who reported that she was once hired to be her like live-in assistant and then that turned into almost like a slavery situation where she wasn't being paid anything at all it's internship yeah they originally agreed to like 2,000 a month to like do these chores around the house but then like she just kind of held her there and was making her do like everything for her and then the crazy thing is that this girl cat Torres kind of has her life sort of like like Marie condish where everyone's like why I want to live like that and then when the girl came to her house she saw that like it was a facade like one area wasn't clean for shooting but the rest of the house was ████ up like there was just ████ everywhere and it was dirty and it stunk

9:19 you can tell the in the girl who was there who's interning was not a millennial mhm cuz she had been b███████ all up Storm about it but not getting paid doing work for free I'm not getting ████ are you ████ kidding me that girl ended up getting away and then when she saw that these two girls were missing and that they were with her she was the one who like ended up she pieced together getting a light bulb and then tipping them off and going like oh I don't know if this she called the cops I think she did I always want to know what kind of curses they think they can do like I'll turn you into a ████ frog I will it I think they're saying that even in court she like I think that girl catur really believes that she can do magic what the ████ well she's doing a big magic trick that's pretty crazy she turn one ball into three balls cuz then I'd be like what the f I like I like that some for someone who thinks she does magic she's doing such an unmagical

10:09 classic pimp move yeah like it's super normal takes a triangle and she Taps it with the stick and then it goes in I be like the rings that know there's like rabbits everywhere everywhere you go there's also those like sociopath set when it's like all momentum when they like are able to succeed at the first thing they start believing something that isn't really there and then they succeed again and they're like I am me for this you know what I mean they're like I am this person I used to think that I could turn street lights off by just like thinking about it really hard and you would wait long enough for the street light to turn off 6 hours later and you're like it would be like 5: a.m. and finally or it's like the people who it's like it's like they make something that looks great on the outside but then the inside it sucks like like when anony bought his house so you're saying it looks great on the outside yeah it looks fine on the outside but then when you go

10:59 you can tell it's all shy and Half Baked
