"I very clearly said I spoke to a woman who told me about when she was trafficked when she was 12. So I didn't say a teenager. I didn't say a young woman — a grown woman, a woman who was trafficked when she was 12," Britt said on"Fox News Sunday."
During the speech, she did not clarify that the crime happened decades ago and that the woman was no longer being sex trafficked.The victim, Karla Jacinto Romero, experienced sex trafficking from 2004 to 2008 in Mexico.
