American Apparel Accuser Hid Alleged Sex Slavery Out of Shame
By Lisa Flam - AOL NewsThe woman who filed a $250 million lawsuit accusing the founder of American Apparel of turning her into a teenage sex slave said she stayed quiet because she was ashamed and assumed such alleged behavior was virtually standard in the high-flying worlds of retail and fashion.

At one point, she alleged, he held her prisoner for ...
