We dive into the disturbing case of Cat Torres, a Brazilian influencer who lured followers into her coven and sex trafficked them. The "Rotten Mango" podcast highlights the experiences of Desiree, one of Torres' victims, who was groomed, exploited, and financially manipulated. Torres, known for her online persona as a life coach and witch, used iasa ceremonies and promises of wealth to control her victims. She forced them into sex work and took their earnings, while exhibiting increasingly erratic behaviour and making bizarre claims about her power and connections. Torres was ultimately convicted of human trafficking in Brazil, exposing the dark reality behind her glamorous facade. The case raises questions about the vulnerability of individuals seeking guidance online and the insidious nature of manipulation and exploitation.
