The congresswoman’s office confirmed toon Saturday that she was referring to Karla Jacinto Romero, an activist who publicly shared her experience of being sex trafficked to raise awareness about the dangers it poses.Romero’s experience occurred in Mexico — not the U.S. — and took place during President George W. Bush’s administration.
