Escaping the Porn Industry

Vanessa Belmond aka aka Alexa Cruz spent seven years in the sex industry from the age of 18 to 25, and decided to leave in March 2013 because of how harmful it was to her and others. She is now volunteering for AntiPornography.org and supporting their vitally important mission by speaking out against the devastating harms of pornography, prostitution, stripping, and related forms of sexual exploitation and abuse.

She is also doing direct outreach to people in the sex industry and to others (especially teens), to help them with education and support, in order to help make up for the damage she\'s done in the past.
