In this article, we will explore her story of how she found out the truth about her husband’s crimes and how she overcame the trauma and rebuilt her life.
The Day They Arrested Her Husband
Amanda Quick had a seemingly perfect life with her husband and three young sons in Utah. She was a stay-at-home mom who devoted herself to her family and her faith. She had no idea that her husband was leading a double life as a sex trafficker who preyed on vulnerable girls and women.
On February 5, 2016, her world came crashing down when the police knocked on her door and arrested her husband for attempted human trafficking. He had been caught in a sting operation where he tried to sell two girls, aged 14 and 17, for sex to an undercover agent. He had also been involved in other cases of sex trafficking and exploitation across the country.
Amanda was shocked and devastated by the news. She felt betrayed, humiliated, and angry. She also felt guilty and ashamed for not knowing what her husband was doing behind her back. She wondered how she could have missed the signs and how she could have trusted him so blindly.
The Aftermath of the Arrest
Amanda’s husband was charged with multiple counts of human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and child pornography. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Amanda filed for divorce and obtained full custody of her children. She also had to deal with the financial and legal consequences of her husband’s actions. She lost her home, her savings, and her reputation. She faced harassment and threats from her husband’s associates and victims. She also had to deal with the emotional and psychological impact of the trauma.
Amanda struggled with depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. She felt isolated and hopeless. She questioned her faith and her identity. She wondered if she could ever trust anyone again or find love again. She also worried about the safety and well-being of her children.
The Journey of Healing and Empowerment
Amanda realized that she needed to heal herself and her children from the trauma. She sought professional help and joined support groups. She also turned to alternative therapies such as energy healing, meditation, and yoga. She learned to forgive herself and her ex-husband. She also learned to love herself and reclaim her power.
Amanda decided to share her story with the world to help other survivors of trauma and abuse. She wrote a memoir titled “The Sex Trafficker’s Wife”, which was released in January 2023. She also launched her own healing and coaching business and a podcast called “The Amanda Quick Show”. She became an advocate and a changemaker for the cause of ending human trafficking and empowering women.
