Tragedy
Bad luck met this beautiful lady during her teenage years which set her on a different path afterward. The video-vixen was kidnapped at the tender age of 13 while hanging out with her friend at the mall. The girls went missing for three days and managed to escape from their attackers. It was during that period that Karrine was sexually violated for the first time.
During an interview, the 40-year-old revealed that when she got back home, her mother beat her mercilessly. The girl was unable to talk to anyone for closure and carried the emotional baggage for a year. It is an officer in school who noticed that Karrine was withdrawn and acting weird. The school officer probed Steffans until she confessed what had happened to her and the friend.
The second encounter happened at the age of 15 after she had run away from home. She was raped at gunpoint by a friend of a friend, and this may have contributed to the model turning to drugs and alcohol.
