Petra Hensley

At 16 years old Petra Hensley went to the train station in Czech Republic to meet up and hang out with her friends. She was kidnapped from behind by a few men and next thing she knew she was passed out. She woke up in a car disoriented. Whenever Petra tried to scream for help the men would beat her and tell her to give up because no one was going to help her. They took her to an old abandoned apartment and threw her in a room that only contained a mattress on the floor. The man who kidnapped her raped her first then a few hours later they were bringing in more customers. 3 days later she was able to escape through a window and run back to her parents house.
