LOS ANGELES, CA – Allie Eve Knox was a broke graduate student in 2014 when she applied her ambitious entrepreneurial skills to sex work. By 2017 she was debt-free, had built her dream home and was living a life of luxury.

But don’t take our word for it. Watch Allie Eve Knox on “Sex for Sale: The Untold Story,” the upcoming episode of the new A&E docu-series “The Untold Story,” set to air at 9 pm today, April 18.

The episode features host Elizabeth Vargas as she explores the inner workings of the new sex trade, which relies on the internet to tap into a huge demand for intimacy and companionship through immersive character-driven portraits of various sex workers.

“I am excited to be a part of an engaging documentary that examines the various aspects of the adult industry,” Knox said. “I hope after watching, viewers understand sex work is real work, and gain even more respect and understanding for sex workers.”

Despite having two bachelor’s degrees and a master’s degree, the Atlanta native struggled early on with a low-paying job and a seeming mountain of college debt. She eventually joined the adult industry after realizing she could make far more money as a performer than she could working a conventional 9-to-5. Knox soon made an impact in the business with a slew of acclaimed adult films. The, she turned her attention to the camming market. Knox quickly found her niche camming and creating content for clip sites and customs.

Knox discusses the importance of decriminalizing sex work, the critical dangers of the SESTA-FOSTA bill, her rise in the fast-changing industry, her work with the crypto-camming site Spankchain, the relationship between adult and Bitcoin and more.

Here is the trailer for the “The Untold Story” episode featuring Knox:
