Nearly two years after being freed by Ohio’s governor, child sex trafficking survivor Alexis “Kee” Martin has been sent back to prison.

Martin’s commutation was revoked in February after she violated the conditions of her parole.

Martin may serve another 14 years for a crime that occurred when she was 15.

The news came as a shock to advocates across the country, who have rallied around Martin as a symbol of what can happen when courts ignore the trauma trafficked children endure.

1. I can't see how anybody would not follow those probabtion rules to a T!

14 years now after a gift.

2. Surviving trauma is a lifelong event and beyond difficult. Following rules

can be impossible as rage, terror, depression overcome a person.

She should’ve never been imprisoned but given support and therapy and compassion.

Heartless to punish victims for surviving.
