Marisol Nichols' Secret Life As an Undercover Sex Trafficking Agent Is Being Turned Into a TV Show

Marisol Nichols has a secret life that you probably knew nothing about.

The Riverdale star has actually been an undercover sex trafficking agent for years and helped the FBI and other government agencies in numerous child sex stings around the world.

Now, Marisol‘s second career is being made into a television series, according to Deadline, as Sony Pictures Television has optioned the rights to the original feature that was written for Marie Claire magazine.

The story shined a light on Marisol‘s work, where depending on the situation she either played the part of a parent pimping out a child, or the role of a child being pimped out to a guy who thinks he is about to have sex with a 12-year-old.

Marisol began her human trafficking fight work in 2012 when her acting career started to slow, and even started a nonprofit organization called Foundation for a Slavery Free World.

The series is in the early stages of development of the project, and Marisol is set to executive produce and maybe star in the story herself.

Just recently, it was reported that Marisol would be leaving Riverdale after five seasons on the show, but it looks like she’ll be returning after all…
