Chong Kim, former human sex trafficking victim is victimized again

DALLAS - June 25, 2014 - PRLog -- Chong Kim, is an Asian American survivor of human trafficking and a victim of child sex exploitation in the US. Unfortunately, once again, Kim is being victimized, this time by an organization that she once trusted and partnered with. Now Kim is the target of a smear campaign. She has recently been unfairly defamed and slandered by an organization called Breaking Out. The Breaking Out website says that they identify, investigate and rescue victims of human trafficking. While this seems like it would have been a match made it heaven, something has gone awry.

Since legal action is pending, Kim and her team will not at this time address the defamatory attacks and the possible motivations for these unwarranted attacks by the organization (Breaking Out); its founder, James Barnes; and other associated individuals. Chong Kim firmly denies the allegations and knows that the real truth will prevail.

She is working with pro bono legal counsel and a team of related professionals to clear her name so she can continue to advocate for victim's rights and cyber-bulling. As a dedicated human and civil rights advocate, she wants to keep others from blaming the victims of these unspeakable horrors.
