Because of Karla's interest in the man, then they exchanged phone numbers, and the next day they promised to meet, the man then picked up Karla at his house by car.
"When I saw his car I couldn't believe it. I was so impressed with the big car. It was very interesting to me. Then he asked me to get in his car and go places," he told CNN.
The man who was 22 years old at the time, quickly convinced Karla, and Karla finally left with him.
"I lived with him for three months, during which he treated me very well," she told CNN.
"He loves me, he buys me clothes, gives me attention, buys me shoes, flowers, chocolates and everything beautiful."
The man explained that his cousin would show up to his apartment with new girls every week, Karla was confused about what the man's business really was..
The man said his cousin was a 'pimp'.
"A few days later he started telling me everything I had to do, the positions, how much I had to master, the things I had to do with the client and for how long, how I should treat them and how I should talk to them so they would give me more. a lot of money," Karla told CNN.
The first time Karla worked as a prostitute was in the city of Guadalajara, one of the largest cities in Mexico.
"I started work at 10 pm and finished at midnight. We were in Guadalajara for a week, and served 30 customers a day," he told CNN.
"Some of the customers laughed at me because I was crying. I had to close my eyes so I wouldn't see what they were doing to me, so I wouldn't feel a thing."
He added that he was sent to a number of towns, brothels, roadside motels, homes and streets known for prostitution.
After her first few days working as a prostitute, Karla is forced to serve at least 30 customers per day, and seven days a week.

"He started beating me with chains all over my body. He hit me with his fists, he kicked me, grabbed my hair, spat in my face, and that day was when he also burned me with a hot iron," he told CNN.
“I told him I wanted to leave him, and he accused me of falling in love with another customer. He said I liked being a prostitute.”
In another example, he claims that once about 30 police officers showed up at a hotel known as a prostitution area and then the police kicked out all the customers.
Karla thought she was going to be rescued, but she didn't, until officers took the girls in several rooms where they were reported to have filmed their lewd videos.
Karla, who was 13 years old at the time, claimed that they were told that the video would be sent to their family if they did not do what the Police asked.
"I thought they were disgusting. They knew we were minors. We weren't even saved," he told CNN.
"We have sad faces. There is a girl who is only ten years old. There is a girl who is crying."
"They told officers they were minors and no one was paying attention."
Karla was pregnant and then gave birth at the age of 15 years, Karla said that the baby was taken by
Pimp who took care of her, and she was not allowed to see her daughter again until the baby was more than a year old.
