he young man working at a Mountain T View Safeway slammed his head on a commercial refrigerator door, un- able to verbally express the ordeal he had been through for nearly a year.

The violent gesture, which alarmed his co-workers, was his least painful experience since moving to Mountain View in the fall of 2012. “John Doe,” an American citizen, was about to make a break for freedom after allegedly being beaten and tortured at home. Santa Clara County prosecutors allege his was a case of domestic labor trafficking. Throughout the Bay Area and even in wealthy and sophisti- cated communities such as Palo Alto and Mountain View, people are being enslaved and forced to work for others, according to police and district attorneys in Santa Clara and San Mateo coun- ties. Hidden in plain sight, immigrants and U.S. born, they are kept in bondage through fear, intimidation and threat. They are moni- tored almost constantly and are accountable at every moment: while shopping, taking their captor’s children to the park, or even at church, say professionals who work with human-trafficking victims. Working grueling hours in restaurants, as street peddlers, do- mestic servants, manual laborers and prostitutes for little or no pay, they are broken down psychologically by their captors so that they believe the only life they will ever live is the one they currently have. This weekend, the nonprofit Bay Area Anti-Trafficking Co- alition (BAATC) is convening a major anti-trafficking event, Freedom Summit 2015, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara to raise public awareness of the problem in Silicon Valley and galvanize individuals and agencies to action. The choice of venue is not coincidental: In 2016, the Super Bowl — which BAATC organizer Betty Ann Boeving said will be the “single largest human trafficking incident in the United States” — will be held there. Sporting events and large conventions often involve forced labor, Boeving said. It’s the kid standing outside the stadium selling T-shirts or souvenirs, or the maids and other workers in restaurants and hotels catering to the crowds, she said. “If the hotel’s 60 or 70 percent capacity is suddenly around 100 percent, where will they get the temporary work force?” she asked. Hotels will unknowingly employ trafficked maids and service workers through contracted businesses, she said. The problem is greater than one might think. An estimated 100,000 U.S. children are victims of trafficking within the United States, and as many as 17,500 people are thought to be trafficked into the United States each year, according to the U.S. Department of State. The Bay Area’s major harbors, airports, economy and large immigrant population fuel trafficking, according to the Cali- fornia Alliance to Combat Trafficking and Slavery Task Force. Human trafficking is replacing other types of crime among criminal gangs, since there is less punitive risk and greater re-

Or has it? On Friday, May 15, John, Paul, George and Ringo will take the stage at Redwood City’s Fox Theatre (2215 Broadway St.) for a night of classic hits from “Twist and Shout” through “Rubber Soul” and “Revolver” all the way to “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” Of course, it’s not really them, but Beatles tribute band Abbey Road has earned a reputation for their realistic and historically accurate concerts, down to the costumes and instruments. And it’s more than just music; Beatles manager Brian Epstein narrates the show, helping audiences relieve the band’s legacy, from their breakthrough Ed Sullivan Show performance of 1964 to their psychedelic years. Fifty years after the Liverpool foursome took the world by storm, it’s not too late to catch yourself a little Beatlemania.
