When she was 14, Panyia Vang, who grew up in a small village in Laos, was told she was going to audition for a music video. Instead, she says she was raped by an American who traveled to Laos for "child sex tourism." The Minnesotan man, who's a member of the Hmong community, got her pregnant and forced her into a marriage. Now 22 and living in Minneapolis with her father who immigrated prior to her attack, Vang is suing her attacker.
