Trigger warning: This post contains an account of child sexual abuse which may be distressing for some readers.
It wasn’t until Anneke Lucas was 25 that memories of her childhood as a sex slave began to creep back.
The Belgian native was walking down the street in Los Angeles when the wafting smell of human faeces triggered a disturbing memory from her past.
“My instant thought was: ‘If this is true, I’m going to kill myself.'” she wrote in a detailed account of her experience, which she shared on social action platform Global Citizen as part of their ‘Real Women, Real Stories’ project.
It was 1988 at the time, but it took many more years for the abuse to survivor to understand the full extent of her trauma, let alone articulate it.
For five years Lucas, now 53, claims she endured life in a paedophile ring run by Europe’s elite.
"My mother sold me, and drove me wherever, whenever she got the call. The boss of this paedophile network was a Belgian cabinet minister. The clients were members of the elite. I recognised people from television. Their faces were familiar to the masses, while I was confronted with the dark side of their power addiction — the side no one would believe existed. I came across VIP's, European heads of state, and even a member of a royal family," she wrote.
Lucas believes she was raped more than 1700 times and experienced her first orgy at just six-years-old.
She says she was routinely humiliated in S&M shows, where she was once chained up like a dog and made to eat human faeces.

It is a disgraceful tragedy that a mother could betray her own daughter and granddaughter in this way! Lets hope criminal charges where brought against the mother and pedophile ring.
