Each Wednesday Dr. Laurie Roth holds conversations with those in the know about particular crimes,criminals, issues, corruption, and wrongdoing. Tune in with co-host Dottie Laster and her guests to learn more about human trafficking, the dangers and what to do about it.
Dr. Laurie Roth and co-host Dottie Laster welcome back Katherine Svoi Smythe, continuing to tell the story of her own captivity and experience as a victim of human trafficking. Her book, Unbroken, was released in April and recounts the horrors she suffered as a child in the bondage of sex trafficking by her family.
Katherine Svoi Symthe is the granddaughter of Lester Brown, whose cruelty to animals made the cover of Life magazine in 1966, that enraged Congress to pass the Animal Rights Law. Lester Brown moved to California where Smythe’s mother started buying children from the sex trade and abusing them. Smythe endured 17 years of torture, pain, and even witnessed her sister’s death by her mother.
In a recent interview with KENS5 in San Antonio, she reaches out to the community, San Antonio Police Department, and city council members, to toughen the stance on trafficking and create a task force to help dismantle trafficking in the local and surrounding areas in Texas.
Dottie Laster has been on the scene and in the streets for over 10 years working one to one with victims of trafficking. Her work has been the subject of several television shows, interviews, documentaries and films. Her association with Symthe, and their combined efforts with other local groups and individuals, has the ability to create change to a crime that is often hidden in plain view in every community across the country.
