Sabrina Hewitt, a London resident, became a victim of modern slavery after being groomed by her boyfriend, Jason, since she was 16. During a Caribbean holiday, he coerced her into becoming a drug mule, giving her a bag filled with illicit substances or cash and instructing her on how to deliver it. Despite her fear of imprisonment and the police, she felt trapped and unable to seek help, believing she would face consequences for her actions. This manipulation continued until she was arrested in 2014 and sentenced to three and a half years in prison. During her incarceration, Sabrina gained clarity about her situation, realizing the extent of her exploitation and the life she had been forced into. After her release, she made a conscious decision to break free from that lifestyle. Now, she is actively working with the charity Causeway to raise awareness about modern slavery and criminal exploitation, hoping to prevent others from experiencing similar fates.
