A Green Country man faces pandering charges for inducing a woman into prostitution. Oklahoma law now recognizes her to be a human trafficking victim. The woman said she escaped from Dennis Abercrombie in March and now has filed for a protective order against him. Most think of human trafficking as a girl being kidnapped from the street and sold into sex slavery, but the reality is, most victims are women in desperate situations and meet a man who is kind and promises to take care of them.
Instead, the man makes them prostitutes and takes the profits. In this case, police said Abercrombie even forced the woman to a contract. She met Abercrombie, who said he was a chaplain and a church-goer, and he offered to help.
After meeting Abercrombie, Kate said he offered her money if she'd go to a hotel. She said it was Christmas time and desperate and admits she made a bad decision.
Kate said Abercrombie promised to take care of her and her kids, but, but he needed her to make money for him. She said he had these business cards printed up of her, offering escort services, and he solicited dates fro her on CraigsList, bought her clothes, took her to clubs and gave her a client list and instructions.
She said when she didn't go on dates and refused to meet clients, Abercrombie became frustrated. She said Abercrombie gave her cards and letters, which she turned over to police. Some say he loves her and wants to be with her forever and others threaten her if he ever catches her on the street.
With the help of a friend, Kate was finally able to get away from Abercrombie. Day Spring Villa is the only women and children's shelter in the state certified to take in and help human trafficking victims. You can learn more about the organization by clicking here. Oklahoma's Own Originals.
