In an exclusive interview with CBC’s Marketplace, the Malaysian man says he became a victim of human trafficking after he answered a post on a Facebook group advertising a customer service job with a Cambodian casino.
John, whose real name CBC has agreed to withhold to protect his safety, spent four months with others essentially held captive in compounds in Sihanoukville, Cambodia.

This time, he reached the International Justice Mission (IJM), a non-profit headquartered in Washington, D.C., that works to free people from human trafficking.
