At the age 13, she began working as a child prostitute for G.G. and was repeatedly molested by him and forced to prostitute herself with men old enough to be her brother, father or uncles.

On January 2, 2011 after over 40,000 signed petitions on the final day before leaving office, Governor Schwarzenegger commuted Sara's sentence of life without parole to 25 years to life, with the possibility of parole. While he did not release her with time served, as many advocates had hoped, that he granted her clemency at all is extraordinary.
