Gustavo recently met one of his former victims; the girl he was with when he was caught in a raid. It was the same girl who testified against him in his trial. CNN witnessed the encounter inside the prison. (CNN/can news)

At eight years old, when many boys dream of being superheroes or famous pro athletes, "Gustavo" had a very different profession in mind.
 
Growing up in the central Mexican state of Tlaxcala, he had already witnessed abject poverty. In fact, he had lived it. That's why it was hard not to notice some of the men from his town who seemed to have it all.
 
These men were human traffickers and Gustavo, then only a second-grader, says he already knew what that meant.
 
"I would hang out with them," he says. "They were all pimps. I would play soccer with them. I would see their late model cars, houses, money and women, lots of women."
 
The pimps, Gustavo says, were all from Tlaxcala, just east of Mexico City. It's the world where Gustavo grew up.
 
Now, serving time in a Mexican maximum-security prison, Gustavo, 35, agreed to talk to CNN if we didn't use his real name. He still has many enemies and sharing details about the underworld of human trafficking can put the former pimp's life in danger.
