Courtney Clenney pleads guilty to manslaughter and receives a six-year prison sentence for the 2022 fatal stabbing of her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli.  She was originally charged with second-degree murder and faced up to life in prison. Clenney argued she acted in self-defense because of an abusive relationship.

The judge sentenced her to six years in state prison, followed by five years of reporting probation. Because she spent four years in jail awaiting trial, that time counts toward her sentence. She has about two years left to serve and could be released even sooner with good behavior.

Sheryl McCollum is joined by human trafficking survivor and advocate Tina Dixon, who ran away as a young teenager before being trafficked through the Dixie Mafia’s network of brothels and organized prostitution across the South. Together, they discuss the grooming, manipulation, violence, and addiction traffickers use to control their victims and how organized trafficking operations adapt to changing technology as recruitment expands through social media and other online platforms. Tina also explains what finally helped her break free after decades of exploitation and why she has made it her mission to help others escape trafficking and rebuild their lives.

Highlights:

(0:00) Sheryl explains the Dixie Mafia’s ties to human trafficking and the importance of understanding victimology in investigations

(2:00) Why investigators distinguish between different forms of commercial sexual exploitation and how those differences shape an investigation

(3:45) Tina runs away at 14, arrives on Bourbon Street, and becomes involved with an outlaw motorcycle club

(8:30) The differences between a “Cassanova pimp” and a “gorilla pimp” and how traffickers use manipulation before violence

(10:15) Inside Louisiana's prostitution “circuit” of roadside bars, gambling rooms, and brothels hidden throughout the bayous

(11:45) How traffickers groom children online using social media, emotional manipulation, and false promises

(15:00) Childhood abuse, addiction, and the vulnerabilities traffickers intentionally exploit

(17:15) Inside a rural brothel: how victims are trained, controlled, and punished

(23:15) Why traffickers profit while victims are left with addiction, trauma, and nothing to show for years of exploitation

(24:15) How online predators continue using the same grooming tactics to recruit children today

(26:45) The confrontation that led to Tina being shot twice

(30:00) Why Destiny House, Hookers for Jesus, and EMDR finally succeeded after 17 rehab attempts
