Tiffany is a 16 year old caucasian female arrested for prostitution this is the third time that she has been arrested for engaging in prostitution. She was previously remanded to the detention center as a result. She has since been court ordered to participate in therapy within a residential treatment facility. Tiffany has a history of witnessing her parents engage in substance abuse as well as her father physically abusing her mother. Her father would have her uncle and a friend come over to the home and engage in smoking crack with them. While they were high the uncle and the friend would molest Tiffany.

This transpired over several years. One day Tiffany believed that both men where attempting to sexually assault her so she flee'd from the home in an attempt to escape what she believed was about to happen. During her escape from her uncle and his friend she encountered an adult male named Donald. He offered her a ride, he took her back to his apartment in which he provided her with beer and engaged in sexual intercourse with Tiffany. She obliged as she was afraid that he would ask her to leave. Tiffany continued to engage with Donald in sexual intercourse an never returned back home.

Shortly after living with Donald he requested that tiffany engage in sexual intercourse with other men in exchange for beer and liquor. Tiffany did not initially agree which caused David to burn and physically abuse Tiffany. He also threated Tiffany with her younger sister, telling Tiffany that if she didn't do what he asked then he would get her sister to do it. Out of Fear of Donald abducting her sister and forcing her to do things that Tiffany had to do she obliged. Donald behaviors became more extreme Tiffany could not eat or use the bathroom without permission. Donald controlled everything that Tiffany did, despite all the abuse Tiffany has verbalized that she feels as though David saved her from her uncle and she feels as though she owes him.
