Filming Jen Sensenig of North Star Initiative (NSI) tell her own story of how she got involved with this issue was a very special experience for us, as she was the one who suggested that a documentary be produced about sex trafficking in Pennsylvania.
During the film shoot, Jen spoke about “The Girl at the Window” story that she wrote about the Route 30 accupuncture business in Lancaster that was actually a front for prostitution criminal activity. Jen’s undercover work helped launch an investigation into this business that resulted in the discovery of its ties to organized crime and its link to other prostitution criminal businesses in other states. The investigation ultimately led to the conviction of members of the prostitution ring.
Jen’s work to fight sex trafficking locally led her to the foundation of NSI (https://northstarinitiative.org/the-harbor/) and The Harbor aftercare home she and her team are working to open in the Lancaster area.
The crew also filmed Jen down the Route 30 corridor near various truck stops within that area where human trafficking is a reality in Lancaster County.
