PLANO, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) - The horror of human sex trafficking and its grip on North Texas has never been captured more disturbingly than on a video from a Plano business.
It comes from the trial of convicted trafficker who has just been sentenced to 59 years in prison.
It was in the middle of Plano's Shops at Legacy where a 17-year-old girl escaped a violent human trafficker she had been with for a year.
If not for observant witnesses watching nearby, authorities tell me it's likely the victim would still be in his clutches.
It's security camera video of two people talking outside a nail salon in Plano's Shops at Legacy.
A passerby notices the man dragging the 17-year-old girl by her hair to the car, throw her into the open passenger side door and close it.
She quickly opens it and escapes.
By that time, several witnesses were ready to intervene and the man speeds off by himself.
