Verdict with Ted Cruz - Defending the Victims of Child Sex Abuse — Trey's Law Going National

00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.

00:00:02.660 Guaranteed human.

00:00:05.300 Welcome.

00:00:05.940 It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you.

00:00:09.200 And Senator, you're in Washington, D.C. with a very special guest on a very important piece of legislation.

00:00:15.800 This is one of those shows that we are promised.

00:00:18.840 We are going to get to the elections and we're going to get to what's going on in Iran.

00:00:22.340 We will talk about that in future shows.

00:00:24.180 But there is an extremely important piece of legislation that you are working on in Washington, D.C.

00:00:30.200 And there are countless people that listen to the show that may know victims.

00:00:34.280 And this is a show I hope you will hit pause.

00:00:37.240 You will share it on social media because it is an important law that we're talking about right now.

00:00:42.540 Well, that's exactly right.

00:00:43.700 And this is a special show because we're talking today about child sexual abuse.

00:00:49.840 And it is an epidemic across this country.

00:00:52.320 So many children are the victims of sexual abuse.

00:00:55.240 And we're going to talk about legislation that I introduced today in the Senate to empower the victims of sexual abuse.

00:01:03.700 And a very special guest that is joining us today.

00:01:08.960 And you're going to get a chance to hear about her journey and tragically her brother's journey as a victim of sexual abuse.

00:01:17.820 Before we get to that, I want to tell you about our good friends at IFCJ.

00:01:21.680 As Operation Epic Fury intensifies, the world braces for what comes next.

00:01:27.640 And people of faith pray for freedom and for God's people to be protected.

00:01:32.820 In the Holy Land, red alert sirens fill the air.

00:01:36.900 Sirens that give you 15 seconds to reach the nearest bomb shelter.

00:01:41.380 The situation is serious and the threat is real.

00:01:45.320 In times like this, freedom and faith aren't just abstract ideas.

00:01:49.820 They are what we depend on.

00:01:52.880 And the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground, preparing large-scale distributions of life-saving food, first aid, and emergency essentials for security personnel.

00:02:04.600 While helping ensure hospitals, emergency rooms, and shelters are stocked with critical medical supplies.

00:02:10.740 This aid is focused on Israel's most vulnerable, the sick, the elderly, children, and families in great need.

00:02:18.240 But the Fellowship needs your most generous gift today to make this work all possible.

00:02:23.900 Now is your time to stand with Israel's most vulnerable.

00:02:27.440 To rush your gift, call 888-488-IFCJ.

00:02:32.080 That's 888-488-IFCJ.

00:02:35.820 Or give online at ifcj.org.

00:02:39.720 That's ifcj.org.

00:02:42.460 Senator, I want to be clear for everybody that's going to hear this show.

00:02:46.400 It's on YouTube.

00:02:48.180 It's on Facebook.

00:02:49.380 I hope you'll share it and just take the time because there are people that are out there that need to hear this show that are victims.

00:02:55.260 And this is one of those important shows where you don't know whose life you're going to be able to help and affect in a positive way, whose life literally could be saved because of this show and the information that they're going to hear.

00:03:09.420 And this legislation center that you introduced today in Washington, D.C. is incredible.

00:03:14.340 And your guest, who's with you in D.C. as well, it's amazing the story that she is telling, but also just how powerful it is to stand up.

00:03:25.260 For so many others that need help.

00:03:27.620 Well, that's right.

00:03:28.580 This week I introduced legislation in the Senate called Trey's Law.

00:03:32.160 And it is designed to protect kids, kids who tragically are the victims of sexual assault.

00:03:38.560 And Trey's Law prohibits nondisclosure agreements binding children who have been victims of sexual assault.

00:03:47.540 And this is a problem we are seeing nationwide.

00:03:51.560 A staggering statistic.

00:03:55.700 A child in America is sexually abused every nine minutes.

00:04:00.700 Yeah.

00:04:01.340 One in four girls in America will be sexually abused before she turns 18. 0.90

00:04:08.560 One in six boys in America will be sexually abused before he turns 18.

00:04:13.400 And we have been seeing over and over again when their violators are held accountable, when they're prosecuted, and when there is civil litigation, that it is becoming routine for the violators to insist upon a nondisclosure agreement.

00:04:34.540 A nondisclosure agreement that binds the children and forces them to be silent.

00:04:40.420 And Trey's Law is named for a Texan, Trey Carlock, who horrifically was abused at a summer camp in Missouri, abused over a number of years.

00:04:53.340 And his abuser was prosecuted, and his abuser is serving three consecutive life terms in prison.

00:05:01.980 And in the course of civil litigation, Trey was convinced to sign a nondisclosure agreement.

00:05:10.440 And that secret haunted him, so much so that at 28 years old, he took his own life.

00:05:23.160 And that is a tragedy in his life and his family's life, but it's a tragedy nationally.

00:05:31.040 And we have a guest on the podcast tonight who is another Texan, Elizabeth Phillips.

00:05:38.320 Elizabeth is Trey's sister.

00:05:41.180 And she has taken the grief and agony of losing her brother and of knowing what happened to him.

00:05:50.000 Losing her brother, it's one thing to lose a sibling in a car accident.

00:05:56.500 My sister died of a drug overdose.

00:05:58.520 It is always difficult to lose a family member that you love, but it is particularly gut-wrenching to lose a family member who you know was the victim of abuse and was haunted by that.

00:06:19.660 And I will tell you, Elizabeth, she lives in Dallas, and she has devoted thousands of hours to fighting for Trey's law. 0.97

00:06:29.360 Trey's law has been adopted in a number of states, including Texas.

00:06:32.340 Texas has adopted Trey's law at the state level.

00:06:36.960 But today, with a group of seven bipartisan co-sponsors, I've introduced at the federal level.

00:06:47.120 And we're going to get passed at the federal level, but I want to start.

00:06:49.420 Elizabeth, welcome to Vertigo.

00:06:50.680 Glad to have you.

00:06:51.760 Thank you so much for not just the introduction of Trey's law to U.S. Congress this morning, but for offering this platform as well.

00:06:59.220 And I agree.

00:07:01.280 I hope it goes viral.

00:07:02.220 Every parent needs to understand how this system works, because I think there are a lot of assumptions that if your child is sexually abused, whether it be at a summer camp, which was Trey's story, or a school, or a faith-based setting, or a sports setting, they're going to come forward immediately.

00:07:17.360 But there's something called delayed disclosure.

00:07:19.880 Children that are victimized in this way don't come forward oftentimes for decades, if ever at all.

00:07:24.940 And we need to be sure that we are protecting children and their voices so that when they do come forward, survivors are heard, believed, and that we can respond with action to hold the bad actors accountable.

00:07:38.080 So thank you for the conversation.

00:07:39.700 Well, thank you for being here.

00:07:41.420 Let me ask you, could you just tell your brother's story?

00:07:44.100 Just share with our listeners and viewers.

00:07:48.260 Tell folks who your brother was and what happened to him.

00:07:51.140 Yeah, and thank you for going into some of that in your introduction, because it's honestly the hardest part for me to talk about.

00:07:57.400 I can go over stats and data about child sexual abuse and ways to prevent it all day long, but it's really hard for me to talk about Trey.

00:08:07.340 And I didn't know that you also lost a sibling, so I'm sorry for your loss, and I'm sorry we can relate on that.

00:08:14.280 That's not a club anyone wants to be a member of.

00:08:17.080 Exactly.

00:08:18.580 But I think also we understand that you can grieve it and move on, or you can grieve it and turn that pain into purpose.

00:08:30.780 And I think what we saw at the press conference this morning was pain turned into power when there was a 19-year-old young woman who came forward.

00:08:37.720 It named her abuser for the first time because her voice was protected under Trey's law since that was passed and put into effect in Missouri last August.

00:08:44.260 And so that's what we're wanting to expand nationally.

00:08:48.000 This journey for me began because my brother died by suicide when he was 28, not only due to the child sexual abuse and what we now believe to be trafficking at the Hand of Canna Cut Camps based in southwest Missouri.

00:09:00.880 They had international mission trips.

00:09:02.400 They were moving kids across state lines.

00:09:04.540 It was never fully investigated.

00:09:06.020 The criminal case landed in Taney County, Missouri, in the Sheriff's Department.

00:09:11.300 And at the time of my brother's perpetrator sentencing, there were 57 known victims.

00:09:16.840 But we now have had many victims come forward since I started a website called FactsAboutCannaCuck.com with other survivor families to get the facts out there to parents and warn the public that this is much more widespread than what had been reported upon in massive cover-up, which is not unusual in a lot of these situations because of NDAs.

00:09:38.080 So that's what we're addressing with Trey's law that's now been introduced to Congress.

00:09:41.940 Very bipartisan.

00:09:43.860 You said, you know, no one you've brought this to has said no to it.

00:09:47.700 I mean, it's something everyone should get behind and hopefully can get behind.

00:09:51.760 You know, in Trey's story, he was groomed and then abused by a camp director.

00:09:56.840 So 7 to 17, this was going on.

00:09:59.640 So he was 7 when he started going to the camp?

00:10:01.560 When he started going to the camp, and that's when the grooming began, and then the sexual abuse began, and then his perpetrator, who, like you said, is now in prison for three life terms, confessed to his crimes and was sentenced in 2010.

00:10:18.400 But under the civil statute of limitations in Texas, Trey was forced to file his civil lawsuit by the age of 23.

00:10:23.360 And just imagine, you know, go back to when you were 23.

00:10:27.360 Were you ready to go up against a system and a quote-unquote ministry like Kanakuk that has between $35 and $45 million in annual revenue?

00:10:37.100 I mean, at 23, you're still a kid.

00:10:38.980 We call them college kids, right?

00:10:40.140 You're just trying to get through college and start a job, build a life.

00:10:43.600 And if someone puts a settlement agreement in front of you and says, sign on the dotted line, and this can all go away, and you can have restitution and some money for your healing, for therapy, or for lost income, you're probably going to do it.

00:11:02.040 And for closure.

00:11:03.640 And for healing and closure.

00:11:05.360 Thank you.

00:11:06.220 I say that because I have friends that worked at Kanakuk during the time period you're talking about.

00:11:11.400 I also know people that were abused at Kanakuk.

00:11:16.520 And this story, when I saw we were doing it, it's, I've lost friends who've committed suicide because of sexual abuse.

00:11:22.640 But Kanakuk is a place where, I went to Ole Miss.

00:11:25.880 A lot of people I grew up with from Memphis, from Houston, they went to Kanakuk.

00:11:30.780 And the cover-up word that you used there is, I think, one of the most sad parts about all this is there was so many of these NDAs, Senator, I didn't realize it.

00:11:40.760 Like, how much this was going to just bring up in me.

00:11:44.380 But when you know people that were abused there, and you've sat with them, and you hear how the system did not protect them, but I actually think made them a victim a second time over, by the way that they use these NDAs, it is infuriating because you realize that, like, everything in this situation worked against them for years.

00:12:02.460 And that's what came, in the Texas hearings, I was calling this institutional abuse on top of child sexual abuse.

00:12:10.840 So you're exactly right.

00:12:12.400 And yes, Memphis is a huge market for Kanakuk and Kids of America, which is another ministry outside of Branson that Joe White still runs to this day.

00:12:23.300 There's been no change in leadership.

00:12:25.720 No one's been held accountable because of these crimes.

00:12:27.920 And so you were asking about my story and how we got to this point, and really it was because I learned more about my brother's trauma and his death than I knew in his life because of the NDA.

00:12:39.820 So until Trey's law went into effect in Texas, September of 2025, I never saw what he signed.

00:12:47.240 He wouldn't talk about it.

00:12:48.380 He was so terrified, even in therapeutic settings, even trying to get sober in AA, for example.

00:12:55.060 He was worried Kanakuk would come after him if he mentioned all of the people involved that knew about what Pete was doing and didn't report the crimes to the authorities or disciplined him internally.

00:13:07.000 And that allowed this perpetrator to go on and abuse what we now know as hundreds of more victims.

00:13:14.580 And that's one perpetrator alone.

00:13:16.400 So victims of Kanakuk have asked for three things, admit to known failures, release NDAs, and commission an independent investigation.

00:13:24.880 Since, as I mentioned, the Taney County Sheriff's Department missed a few spots.

00:13:28.780 It's, we don't need to rabbit hole on that right now, but that's the three S's of survivors, very common sense steps they could take.

00:13:36.020 So we've done Kanakuk's job for them, and we've found out that they're, we now know of over 90 perpetrators with allegations against them,

00:13:43.600 affiliated with Kanakuk and its associated ministries and programs across the country and world.

00:13:48.660 90.

00:13:49.840 Over 90.

00:13:50.580 Of the 90, how many have been held accountable?

00:13:54.920 I've got to know that number because, as I was told about this several months ago, they said that not only are there still people in the 90, as you're describing, that are affiliated,

00:14:05.500 there are some that are still in major leadership roles.

00:14:08.180 And around children.

00:14:09.640 Yes.

00:14:10.000 So we're calling it out, again, doing Kanakuk's job for them. 0.97

00:14:14.100 I think as parents, we have an expectation that if a child molester or a sex offender is caught at an institution where your child was attending or enrolled,

00:14:25.040 that you will be informed if they are ever charged with anything criminal.

00:14:30.460 That is not what Kanakuk has done.

00:14:32.560 So we've done that job for them.

00:14:34.080 So factsaboutkanakuk.com, we have a known abusers page where we name 13, and it might even be more now,

00:14:40.580 that have convictions that are, yeah, they have criminal indictments, convictions, or formal allegations in the media corroborated by multiple victims.

00:14:51.220 And then the rest of the perpetrators in our database are just still out there living their lives,

00:14:57.940 and a lot of them have never been held accountable.

00:15:02.620 We know who they are.

00:15:03.720 We've turned that database over to the authorities, and we are hoping that the FBI or some sort of law enforcement agency takes action.

00:15:11.940 But the normal thing to do when you're not covering up for pedophiles as an institution, using NDAs,

00:15:18.360 and continuing to promote pedophiles within your organization or moving them around to associated ministries,

00:15:25.020 which is another thing Kanakuk has done.

00:15:26.840 They have a year-round ministry called K-Life, similar to Young Life, which I think is better known.

00:15:31.080 And they will move someone that has allegations at the camp to a chapter of K-Life, where they go on to continue harming children.

00:15:38.680 So our known abusers page is supposed to be a public-facing database for when we know a Kanakuk affiliate has been convicted,

00:15:47.480 indicted, or formally alleged of child sexual abuse.

00:15:51.000 And the rest of it will come to light over time as more and more victims come forward.

00:15:54.700 The list continues to grow.

00:15:55.800 And with exposure like this, we expect even more.

00:15:58.040 This year marks a critical moment for our country.

00:16:01.840 As the opposition grows more aggressive and unapologetic,

00:16:05.920 the fight now reaches into the everyday decisions we make.

00:16:10.380 Patriot Mobile has been standing on the front lines fighting for freedom for more than 12 years.

00:16:15.840 They don't just deliver top-tier wireless service.

00:16:19.000 They are activists like me who truly care about our country.

00:17:34.660 So one of the things you described,

00:17:36.540 we did a press conference today announcing Trey's law in the Senate,

00:17:40.880 and you described the pressure that was on your brother,

00:17:44.700 not just from the camp, but also from his own lawyer.

00:17:49.620 Share that story a little bit.

00:17:51.940 Yeah.

00:17:52.200 So, you know, one of the questions, as we were going state by state,

00:17:55.100 you know, starting in Texas, because that's my home state,

00:17:58.500 and that's where Trey grew up,

00:17:59.640 we spent a few years also in Atlanta, Georgia.

00:18:02.600 Georgia's introduced Trey's law along with eight other jurisdictions.

00:18:05.580 But then Missouri passed Trey's law last August.

00:18:09.900 And, you know, my brother was abused in so many jurisdictions

00:18:14.160 that there were different options for the venue in his civil case.

00:18:18.740 Wow.

00:18:19.160 He sued in Texas, as I mentioned.

00:18:21.380 That ended with a settlement agreement that involved a restrictive NDA,

00:18:25.440 and he was an adult when he sued for the child sexual abuse that he suffered.

00:18:29.260 But he hadn't fully realized.

00:18:29.900 And he was afraid even to talk to his therapist.

00:18:32.180 Exactly.

00:18:33.080 And, you know, that therapist, after his death,

00:18:35.940 I started doing my own investigation to understand what just happened to my brother.

00:18:41.100 And that therapist said that he had made a comment just before he died

00:18:46.860 that they would always control him and he would never be free.

00:18:50.820 And that's what it feels like living under an NDA.

00:18:54.460 And in America, where we stand on freedom and freedom of speech,

00:18:58.780 and anyone who studied constitutional law, I mean,

00:19:03.200 that is a right as an American citizen to have freedom of speech,

00:19:07.500 and we protect it with veracity.

00:19:09.540 But in this case, there's been a misuse of NDAs,

00:19:12.880 which originally were created to protect intellectual property,

00:19:17.620 like the Coca-Cola recipe or trade secrets.

00:19:22.100 And they've since been misused to silence victims of childhood sexual abuse,

00:19:28.560 trafficking, even adult sexual assault survivors.

00:19:32.160 That was addressed in the Speak Out Act that passed in 2022

00:19:34.720 with the co-sponsor of Trey's Law, Senator Gillibrand.

00:19:38.700 But kids are being put under these NDAs,

00:19:41.840 and kids, they can't consent to contracts or clauses like this.

00:19:46.020 And so oftentimes it's a guardian or a parent

00:19:48.380 who is signing this NDA on behalf of their child.

00:19:51.320 The child grows up, becomes a young man or woman,

00:19:55.240 realizes what their parents signed,

00:19:56.720 and that they can't own their own story.

00:20:00.320 And it's just a bond.

00:20:02.360 Or even feel like they can't heal because they can't talk about it.

00:20:05.700 Right.

00:20:06.140 Because they're so afraid.

00:20:07.720 Talking to one person that was a victim of this,

00:20:09.800 they described it to me this way.

00:20:10.860 They said, CanadaCuck basically had enough money to buy silence

00:20:15.940 to protect the brand because they knew if we were told our stories,

00:20:20.180 the brand would die and all the money would stop coming in.

00:20:23.160 That's a simplistic way.

00:20:25.000 But you mentioned their revenue.

00:20:27.520 This was, you got to spend money to save this brand

00:20:30.760 and continue to grow in sports and all the other activities that they do.

00:20:35.640 I mean, is that a fair way of putting it?

00:20:37.820 I think that's, yeah, that's definitely a fair way of putting it.

00:20:41.600 And to add, the other thing that's a layer of trauma in this

00:20:45.960 is that their cover-up bought enough time for these victims to be out of statute.

00:20:50.460 So they can't, now that they know the extent of the cover-up,

00:20:53.800 unless under a certain discovery rule,

00:20:56.180 which you could speak to as a lawyer, Senator,

00:20:57.860 but they can't even have access to the civil courts

00:21:02.380 in the jurisdiction where they were abused.

00:21:04.080 So in Missouri, the civil statute of limitations to sue an institution

00:21:08.060 that's liable for child sexual abuse or trafficking

00:21:10.200 has been the age of 26.

00:21:12.520 And that's been unchanged since 1939.

00:21:15.500 And so we're doing a lot of advocacy work in Missouri

00:21:18.240 to say survivors need more time.

00:21:21.200 As I said, when you asked the first question,

00:21:23.540 there is a lot of research on delayed disclosure.

00:21:27.120 My brother was unfortunately forced into disclosure

00:21:31.000 because he was named as a victim during the criminal proceedings.

00:21:35.140 And so he didn't have decades to process what happened to him

00:21:38.160 and then come forward.

00:21:38.940 But victims that weren't named or who came forward

00:21:41.880 closer to the time of Pete Newman's arrest

00:21:45.060 to name one of, again, over 90 perpetrators we're aware of to date.

00:21:49.820 How was he caught?

00:21:51.060 How was his abuse discovered?

00:21:54.220 There are a few theories on that.

00:21:55.540 But Kennecock hasn't really been transparent

00:21:57.120 about what led to his confession.

00:21:59.620 So I would love to know the answer to that question.

00:22:02.320 And that's why an independent investigation

00:22:03.580 or some sort of law enforcement agency stepping in

00:22:05.780 is so necessary in this.

00:22:07.300 He confessed, allegedly, in March 2009

00:22:11.200 to abusing seven boys.

00:22:13.920 And then he wasn't arrested until September 2009

00:22:17.640 after summer camp season went uninterrupted.

00:22:20.900 And then upon arrest, they started investigating him criminally.

00:22:26.400 And then that led to his sentencing in February 2010.

00:22:29.800 Here we are in 2026.

00:22:32.500 And because of facts about Kennecock,

00:22:34.740 which was created by Coalition of Survivor Families,

00:22:38.220 and then recent publicity through USA Today

00:22:40.740 published five articles on this.

00:22:42.500 The Dispatch published it.

00:22:45.740 The New York Times.

00:22:47.400 I just went on the Sean Ryan Show.

00:22:48.980 And we're getting more and more disclosures,

00:22:51.740 not just about Pete Newman,

00:22:53.700 but other perpetrators associated with Kennecock

00:22:55.540 and other leadership who covered this up.

00:22:58.300 And they're calling attorneys who are saying,

00:23:00.700 I'm sorry, you're 15, 30, 45 years too late.

00:23:06.240 So victims don't know they're on the clock

00:23:08.200 when perpetrators know exactly when,

00:23:11.620 and institutions like Kennecock know exactly

00:23:13.820 when the deadline is to file a civil lawsuit against them.

00:23:16.660 So they bought enough time at this point

00:23:18.580 for the cover-up to have worked.

00:23:21.380 Well, one of the things you talked about

00:23:22.760 at the press conference today

00:23:24.020 is how your brother's lawyer

00:23:27.400 was pressuring him to sign this NDA.

00:23:32.420 And the incentives of the current system,

00:23:35.040 look, an abuser has every incentive in the world

00:23:38.480 to try to cover it up, to try to hide it,

00:23:41.060 to want an NDA,

00:23:42.200 to not have truth and transparency.

00:23:44.620 And so we are seeing NDAs demanded by abusers

00:23:50.080 in exchange for compensation.

00:23:53.360 And the way our legal system works

00:23:55.560 is typically if a victim has a lawyer,

00:23:58.400 that lawyer will usually be compensated

00:24:01.400 on a contingency basis

00:24:03.020 where they receive a portion

00:24:05.820 of whatever financial recovery there is.

00:24:09.000 So the lawyer has every incentive in the world

00:24:11.560 to try to reach a deal,

00:24:13.480 to try to reach a settlement,

00:24:14.620 to have a financial amount paid,

00:24:17.280 and to discount the harm

00:24:20.340 of silencing their client.

00:24:25.980 And so it's one of the real values of Trey's law

00:24:29.140 is that when this passes,

00:24:33.020 and I didn't say if, I said when,

00:24:34.500 we will get this passed.

00:24:35.520 Thank you.

00:24:37.080 When this passes,

00:24:38.820 that incentive will go away.

00:24:41.360 Look, if you're negotiating a settlement,

00:24:43.480 I used an example earlier today,

00:24:46.580 there aren't settlement agreements

00:24:48.480 that say as a condition of the settlement,

00:24:50.860 you have to deal crack cocaine

00:24:53.380 because dealing crack cocaine is illegal.

00:24:56.020 And so you can't agree in a settlement

00:24:58.600 to do something that is illegal.

00:25:00.540 By taking NDAs off the table

00:25:02.600 for forcing victims of child sex abuse

00:25:06.840 to not be able to disclose

00:25:09.180 what happened to them,

00:25:11.080 that incentive for their lawyers

00:25:13.040 to pressure them to do this

00:25:14.360 will go away likewise.

00:25:16.780 And importantly, we drafted Trey's law

00:25:18.980 so that a victim can still insist

00:25:21.840 on an NDA for the abuser.

00:25:23.680 If a victim decides I don't want my story told,

00:25:26.500 that's your right as well.

00:25:27.620 We're not going to force a victim

00:25:28.720 to tell his story or her story

00:25:31.060 against their will.

00:25:32.420 You're protecting the victim

00:25:33.760 in the way you're writing this,

00:25:34.760 which I think is such an important part

00:25:36.380 of this conversation.

00:25:37.260 I want people to understand that.

00:25:38.680 It's a lot of what we talked about

00:25:39.740 with we want to protect victims,

00:25:40.940 for example,

00:25:41.300 when we're exposing everything

00:25:42.360 with the Epstein files.

00:25:43.340 It's the same mentality here.

00:25:45.080 If you don't want your name out there,

00:25:46.760 we want to protect it, right?

00:25:49.080 That's the heart of Trey's law

00:25:50.300 is giving survivors ownership

00:25:51.920 of their own stories.

00:25:53.500 Yes.

00:25:53.680 So that they can decide

00:25:55.320 what they want told

00:25:56.140 about what happened to them.

00:25:57.720 The trauma alone is enough abuse.

00:26:00.700 We don't need to pile that on.

00:26:02.200 And you bring up a good point,

00:26:03.380 Senator, around the incentives

00:26:05.120 and the incentives being misaligned

00:26:07.200 because this type of case

00:26:10.740 falls under personal injury law.

00:26:12.640 And so you've been to law school.

00:26:15.720 And in that area of the law,

00:26:17.180 it's typically your attorneys

00:26:19.380 who are taking auto accident cases

00:26:21.620 or slip and falls.

00:26:24.080 Child sexual abuse is a fear.

00:26:25.660 It's in it.

00:26:26.180 I like that it's a personal injury claim

00:26:28.460 because it is an injury

00:26:29.560 to the brain,

00:26:30.940 to the soul.

00:26:31.980 And so it should be

00:26:33.040 a personal injury claim.

00:26:34.300 But the way personal injury law works

00:26:36.140 is that you are looking to settle.

00:26:39.580 Keep this from going.

00:26:40.300 I mean,

00:26:40.720 over 96% of cases,

00:26:42.900 I think,

00:26:43.240 settle outside of trial

00:26:44.340 when it comes to personal injury.

00:26:46.840 And so,

00:26:48.320 you know,

00:26:48.600 the victim doesn't want

00:26:49.340 to have to go to trial

00:26:50.140 and put themselves

00:26:51.340 through more trauma.

00:26:52.580 They're incentivized to settle.

00:26:54.040 And a lawyer says,

00:26:54.980 this can all be behind you

00:26:56.220 if you sign on the dotted line.

00:26:57.580 And then they can take 40%,

00:26:59.400 which is the typical commission

00:27:00.620 on a case like this,

00:27:01.980 move on to the next,

00:27:03.080 rinse and repeat.

00:27:04.300 And that doesn't work

00:27:05.460 when we're talking

00:27:06.120 about childhood sexual abuse.

00:27:07.620 Well,

00:27:07.960 and the U.S. Supreme Court

00:27:09.280 has described,

00:27:10.220 they've said,

00:27:11.280 other than murder,

00:27:13.200 rape is the most grievous harm

00:27:15.000 that could be inflicted

00:27:16.680 to a person.

00:27:18.000 And I've spent a lot of my career

00:27:20.960 fighting against

00:27:21.980 child sexual abuse.

00:27:23.500 So when I was 0.74

00:27:24.600 the Solicitor General of Texas,

00:27:26.980 I argued in front

00:27:29.640 of the U.S. Supreme Court

00:27:30.780 defending Louisiana's law

00:27:32.560 that provided

00:27:34.040 for capital punishment,

00:27:35.200 the death penalty

00:27:35.840 for the most egregious 1.00

00:27:37.020 child rapist. 0.99

00:27:38.700 Unfortunately, 0.99

00:27:39.400 the Supreme Court 5-4

00:27:40.480 struck that down.

00:27:41.340 So we did not prevail

00:27:42.240 in that case.

00:27:44.040 Texas's law

00:27:44.680 was also struck down

00:27:45.640 when Louisiana's law

00:27:46.440 was struck down.

00:27:47.740 I also defended

00:27:48.780 Texas has a 0.92

00:27:50.300 Texas sexually violent

00:27:52.080 predator civil commitment law

00:27:53.540 that gives the courts

00:27:55.200 the ability to take

00:27:56.320 a sexually violent predator

00:27:57.820 and put them

00:27:58.860 in civil commitment,

00:27:59.680 take them off the streets

00:28:00.660 to protect people.

00:28:01.420 And a state court

00:28:03.320 of appeals

00:28:03.780 had struck that law down

00:28:05.060 and concluded

00:28:05.640 it was unconstitutional.

00:28:07.820 And I argued the case

00:28:09.240 in front of the Texas

00:28:10.080 Supreme Court

00:28:10.820 defending that law.

00:28:12.520 And we won unanimously.

00:28:14.000 The law was reinstated

00:28:15.080 and it's now a tool

00:28:16.080 that you have

00:28:17.100 to go after 0.65

00:28:17.620 sexual predators.

00:28:19.400 And, you know, 0.98

00:28:20.960 we mentioned before,

00:28:21.980 so this bill,

00:28:23.060 my lead co-sponsor

00:28:24.920 is Kirsten Gillibrand,

00:28:26.240 Democrat from New York.

00:28:27.580 And then we have

00:28:29.040 on this bill as well,

00:28:30.320 we have Katie Britt,

00:28:31.540 Republican from Alabama,

00:28:32.620 who's a dear friend.

00:28:34.040 We have Eric Schmidt,

00:28:35.340 Republican from Missouri,

00:28:36.360 another very good friend.

00:28:37.980 And then we also have

00:28:39.720 Amy Klobuchar,

00:28:40.860 Democrat from Minnesota.

00:28:41.940 We have Peter Welch,

00:28:42.900 Democrat from Vermont.

00:28:44.600 And then Gene Shaheen,

00:28:46.100 a Democrat from New Hampshire.

00:28:48.280 And I think we will get

00:28:49.560 very widespread

00:28:51.320 bipartisan support.

00:28:52.920 To be honest,

00:28:53.700 those six are the only six I asked.

00:28:55.640 I started with them.

00:28:56.960 I've worked,

00:28:57.720 all of them I've worked with

00:28:59.180 on previous legislation.

00:29:01.520 But, you know,

00:29:02.040 I'll tell you,

00:29:04.620 Gillibrand and I

00:29:05.740 started working on this issue

00:29:07.040 more than a decade ago

00:29:08.120 because she was a leader

00:29:10.300 in going after

00:29:11.620 sexual assault

00:29:12.400 in the military.

00:29:13.140 And there's been a real problem

00:29:14.180 with sexual assault

00:29:14.940 in the military.

00:29:16.320 And the way it used to work

00:29:18.140 is the decision

00:29:19.680 about whether to prosecute

00:29:21.520 a rapist

00:29:22.360 was made 0.98

00:29:24.380 by the commander.

00:29:26.180 And the commander

00:29:27.280 frequently

00:29:28.100 knew the violator,

00:29:30.440 often was close

00:29:31.220 to the violator.

00:29:32.660 And victims

00:29:33.580 of sexual assault

00:29:34.660 in the military

00:29:35.180 were afraid

00:29:35.960 to report the rapes

00:29:37.180 because they didn't believe

00:29:39.740 the commander

00:29:40.340 would be fair.

00:29:41.300 They believed

00:29:41.660 the commander

00:29:42.140 would be biased

00:29:43.020 in favor of

00:29:44.120 the violator.

00:29:46.180 And so Gillibrand,

00:29:47.140 and this is back

00:29:47.820 2013

00:29:48.820 when I was a brand new

00:29:50.200 baby senator,

00:29:50.960 I'd just been elected,

00:29:51.780 Kirsten was leading

00:29:54.360 the charge

00:29:54.860 saying this doesn't

00:29:55.540 make any sense

00:29:56.340 and the decision

00:29:57.560 of whether to prosecute

00:29:59.780 should not be made

00:30:00.640 by the commanding officer

00:30:01.720 but rather should be made

00:30:03.120 by a career

00:30:04.960 military prosecutor.

00:30:06.440 So in the military

00:30:07.540 but not in the chain

00:30:08.640 of command.

00:30:09.240 So not connected

00:30:11.540 to the alleged violator.

00:30:14.580 And I will tell you

00:30:16.160 the Pentagon fought

00:30:17.200 tooth and nail.

00:30:18.340 They hated that provision

00:30:19.540 and I was on the

00:30:21.320 Senate Armed Services

00:30:22.100 Committee with Kirsten

00:30:23.160 at the time

00:30:23.760 and I heard her

00:30:24.720 make the argument

00:30:25.620 make the argument

00:30:26.400 passionately

00:30:27.120 for changing

00:30:28.120 the prosecuting decision

00:30:30.620 to a career prosecutor.

00:30:33.180 And it was one

00:30:34.120 of those instances

00:30:34.860 where sometimes

00:30:35.680 you say hearings

00:30:36.540 don't, you know,

00:30:37.760 are kind of performance.

00:30:39.280 They don't necessarily

00:30:39.840 change anyone's mind.

00:30:41.000 Well, I listened

00:30:41.500 to her arguments

00:30:42.260 and I was persuaded.

00:30:43.060 And I went up to her

00:30:44.420 and I said,

00:30:44.740 Kirsten, I want to team

00:30:45.480 up with you

00:30:46.000 and let's get this done

00:30:47.060 and we did.

00:30:47.780 It took nearly a decade

00:30:49.920 to get it done

00:30:51.480 because Barack Obama

00:30:53.140 wouldn't do it,

00:30:53.720 by the way.

00:30:54.160 Obama was president.

00:30:55.120 He could have done it

00:30:55.780 unilaterally

00:30:56.480 and he wouldn't do it.

00:30:58.580 And it took,

00:30:59.360 we ultimately got

00:31:00.120 the legislation passed

00:31:01.260 but it was a decade-long battle.

00:31:04.200 This is one I'm confident

00:31:05.600 will be faster.

00:31:06.680 I don't think this will

00:31:07.340 take a decade

00:31:07.920 to make happen.

00:31:10.760 You know,

00:31:10.980 you mentioned

00:31:11.780 at the press conference

00:31:12.960 also that we had

00:31:14.300 another victim

00:31:15.400 of sexual abuse

00:31:16.400 share her story.

00:31:17.520 Her name is Jaden Harris

00:31:18.680 and I want to play

00:31:20.780 what she said

00:31:22.060 at the press conference

00:31:23.240 because this was

00:31:24.260 really powerful

00:31:25.100 and moving.

00:31:27.300 She was sharing

00:31:28.460 about the sexual violence

00:31:31.080 she experienced

00:31:31.980 and give a listen,

00:31:34.000 give a watch.

00:31:35.880 Good morning.

00:31:37.800 First,

00:31:38.480 I want to thank

00:31:38.960 these co-sponsors

00:31:40.020 for their leadership

00:31:40.880 and filing

00:31:44.380 Trey's law

00:31:45.040 at the federal level.

00:31:48.380 My name is Jaden Harris.

00:31:50.420 I'm 19 years old

00:31:51.960 and I'm here today

00:31:53.260 not just as a child

00:31:54.580 sexual abuse survivor

00:31:55.860 from Branson, Missouri

00:31:56.880 but as someone

00:31:58.060 whose voice

00:31:58.600 was protected

00:31:59.280 by Trey's law.

00:32:00.740 It's why I can be here today.

00:32:05.480 When I came forward

00:32:06.760 about the abuse

00:32:07.500 I experienced,

00:32:08.400 I was prepared

00:32:09.540 for it to be difficult.

00:32:11.440 What I wasn't prepared

00:32:12.740 for was

00:32:13.340 the intimidation

00:32:14.480 not only from my abuser

00:32:15.720 but from my own

00:32:16.640 from my own lawyer

00:32:18.780 to sign a nondisclosure agreement

00:32:20.700 in exchange for restitution

00:32:22.200 during a mediation process.

00:32:23.840 I was alone

00:32:25.980 when it came to fighting

00:32:26.940 for my voice.

00:32:28.460 It was both

00:32:29.380 my abuser

00:32:30.040 and my lawyer

00:32:30.840 that tried to require me

00:32:35.020 to sign an NDA

00:32:36.000 a contractual clause

00:32:38.440 that would have

00:32:39.420 restricted my ability

00:32:41.040 to speak about the details

00:32:42.280 of what happened to me

00:32:43.280 for the rest of my life.

00:32:45.720 Imagine being told

00:32:46.760 you can never tell

00:32:47.580 your own truth.

00:32:48.380 Despite the bullying

00:32:50.780 for my attorney

00:32:51.680 and all those

00:32:52.840 involved in the case

00:32:53.860 in my heart

00:32:54.860 I knew I had to stand

00:32:55.960 for truth.

00:32:58.000 Not just for myself

00:32:59.380 but for others

00:33:00.120 who feel

00:33:00.600 they have been silenced.

00:33:04.800 I'm standing here today

00:33:06.120 with my voice

00:33:07.000 because Trey's law

00:33:08.080 protected it

00:33:08.780 as a matter

00:33:09.300 of public policy

00:33:10.340 and I was able

00:33:11.240 to achieve settlement

00:33:12.160 while preserving

00:33:13.340 my ability

00:33:13.920 to speak out

00:33:14.660 in hope

00:33:15.160 of protecting others.

00:33:16.260 Due to learning

00:33:19.220 about Trey's law

00:33:19.980 in Missouri

00:33:20.380 I knew something important

00:33:21.820 I cannot be legally

00:33:23.860 forced into silence.

00:33:25.840 No agreement

00:33:26.900 could take away

00:33:27.800 my right

00:33:28.440 to speak

00:33:29.080 about my own experience

00:33:30.380 and those

00:33:30.900 responsible for the abuse.

00:33:32.980 That legal right

00:33:34.160 changed everything.

00:33:35.680 It shifted

00:33:36.140 the balance and power.

00:33:38.180 It meant that

00:33:38.700 any resolution

00:33:39.600 would not come

00:33:40.620 at the cost

00:33:41.240 of me owning my story.

00:33:44.360 Not only is having

00:33:45.620 a voice essential

00:33:46.540 to my healing journey

00:33:47.560 but it is also

00:33:48.740 how I can warn others.

00:33:50.800 My abuser

00:33:51.340 is still out

00:33:52.020 in public

00:33:52.540 every day.

00:33:54.020 He goes by

00:33:54.600 the name Reza.

00:33:56.040 He is a well-known

00:33:57.100 entertainer in Branson

00:33:58.400 who still has

00:33:59.980 a magic show

00:34:00.800 and I'm concerned

00:34:02.060 about ongoing

00:34:02.860 victimization.

00:34:06.760 The criminal

00:34:07.620 justice system

00:34:08.600 has done nothing

00:34:09.400 to remove him

00:34:10.220 from being around

00:34:10.880 children.

00:34:11.360 so I'm going

00:34:13.380 to do something.

00:34:14.620 I'm speaking out

00:34:15.380 today

00:34:15.740 and I'm advocating

00:34:17.560 the law

00:34:19.100 that protected me

00:34:19.940 to protect

00:34:20.580 victims everywhere.

00:34:24.720 Federal action

00:34:25.720 on Trey's law

00:34:26.520 is critical.

00:34:28.220 A survivor's

00:34:28.900 freedom of speech

00:34:29.600 should not depend

00:34:30.380 on geography.

00:34:32.100 I am fortunate

00:34:32.740 that Trey's law

00:34:33.600 had passed in Missouri

00:34:34.600 and allowed me

00:34:35.440 to keep my voice

00:34:36.420 but someone's

00:34:37.560 zip code

00:34:37.920 should not determine

00:34:38.700 whether they can

00:34:39.420 tell the truth

00:34:40.120 and warn the public

00:34:41.400 about predators.

00:34:42.800 This needs

00:34:43.640 to be national.

00:34:47.280 Trey's law

00:34:47.760 is straightforward

00:34:48.320 but powerful.

00:34:50.100 It makes

00:34:50.420 non-disclosure agreements

00:34:51.620 in cases of

00:34:52.440 child sexual abuse

00:34:53.580 void and unenforceable.

00:34:56.540 It ensures

00:34:56.960 that secrecy

00:34:57.780 cannot be purchased

00:34:58.940 when a child

00:34:59.600 has been harmed.

00:35:01.080 It affirms

00:35:01.640 that survivors

00:35:02.280 can be seen,

00:35:03.600 heard,

00:35:04.060 and believed

00:35:04.740 and that's

00:35:05.640 in the best interest

00:35:06.540 of public safety.

00:35:07.540 What almost

00:35:09.100 happened to me

00:35:09.760 citing away

00:35:10.620 my voice

00:35:11.300 should never

00:35:12.260 be an option

00:35:12.860 in this country.

00:35:14.180 I am grateful

00:35:15.260 to be a part

00:35:15.920 of today's

00:35:17.420 important milestone

00:35:18.440 in making that happen

00:35:19.940 and setting

00:35:20.940 truth free.

00:35:22.460 Thank you.

00:35:27.680 Senator,

00:35:28.520 watching that

00:35:29.220 it's painful.

00:35:30.460 It also

00:35:30.900 is incredible

00:35:31.920 to see

00:35:32.520 someone like that

00:35:33.660 get their voice

00:35:34.860 because of this law

00:35:36.460 and how that

00:35:37.960 was enacted

00:35:38.700 in her state

00:35:39.500 and that's

00:35:40.120 exactly what

00:35:40.940 you are trying

00:35:43.080 to do nationwide

00:35:43.840 and it's why

00:35:44.700 I say this

00:35:45.380 for everyone

00:35:46.120 watching.

00:35:47.320 Please share

00:35:48.200 this.

00:35:49.160 There may be

00:35:49.880 somebody that

00:35:50.540 needs to know

00:35:51.240 the website

00:35:51.960 with a connection

00:35:53.460 with Canica.

00:35:54.180 There may be

00:35:54.620 someone else

00:35:55.140 that needs

00:35:55.480 to know this

00:35:55.960 because they're

00:35:56.560 in an NDA.

00:35:57.480 This is why

00:35:58.460 we do this show

00:35:59.740 and it's one

00:36:00.960 of those episodes

00:36:01.660 that I hope

00:36:02.220 you'll put it

00:36:02.780 everywhere on

00:36:03.280 social media.

00:36:03.860 Well and look

00:36:06.160 there's something

00:36:06.780 really powerful

00:36:07.740 about a survivor

00:36:11.480 taking ownership

00:36:12.520 of their own

00:36:13.960 story of their

00:36:14.780 own abuse

00:36:15.420 and sharing

00:36:16.040 their story.

00:36:16.800 It can be

00:36:17.480 healing.

00:36:18.900 It can be

00:36:19.480 empowering.

00:36:20.920 Look when

00:36:21.380 Jaden told her

00:36:22.600 story there was

00:36:23.880 not a dry eye

00:36:24.680 in the room.

00:36:25.440 I mean it was

00:36:26.080 you just heard

00:36:28.080 it and for those

00:36:29.020 of you watching

00:36:29.700 online you saw

00:36:31.520 it and this

00:36:32.440 is a 19

00:36:33.460 year old

00:36:33.900 young woman

00:36:34.440 who was

00:36:35.060 burying her

00:36:36.600 soul.

00:36:38.000 And there's

00:36:38.780 something powerful

00:36:39.760 A for the

00:36:42.300 survivor to move

00:36:43.340 past the pain

00:36:44.160 and grief

00:36:44.740 but it's also

00:36:46.920 powerful because

00:36:47.980 for every survivor

00:36:49.240 that tells her

00:36:50.400 story or his

00:36:51.180 story there

00:36:53.060 are dozens

00:36:54.540 or hundreds

00:36:55.300 or even

00:36:55.820 thousands of

00:36:56.580 other victims

00:36:57.260 who never told

00:36:58.960 anybody.

00:36:59.340 one of the

00:37:01.100 horrific things

00:37:02.240 about this

00:37:03.360 crime in

00:37:04.020 particular

00:37:04.520 listen if

00:37:06.020 you're walking

00:37:06.580 home at

00:37:07.360 night and

00:37:07.860 you get

00:37:08.160 mugged and

00:37:08.760 beaten up

00:37:09.320 you're not

00:37:10.420 typically

00:37:11.060 embarrassed or

00:37:11.860 ashamed to

00:37:12.560 admit I got

00:37:13.180 mugged and

00:37:13.660 beaten up

00:37:14.040 someone stole

00:37:14.600 my wallet.

00:37:17.480 Sexual assault

00:37:18.680 and particularly

00:37:19.260 sexual assault

00:37:20.140 for kids

00:37:20.820 the guilt

00:37:24.020 the self

00:37:25.080 loathing

00:37:25.820 the fear

00:37:27.340 the shame

00:37:29.340 so many

00:37:32.700 victims

00:37:33.380 are

00:37:35.120 trapped in

00:37:37.920 silence and

00:37:38.680 never report

00:37:39.400 their crimes

00:37:40.060 and so

00:37:42.180 there is a

00:37:42.800 power not

00:37:43.440 just for the

00:37:44.360 survivor

00:37:44.900 but for

00:37:47.740 everyone else

00:37:48.820 who's been a

00:37:49.440 victim who

00:37:50.060 has not been

00:37:51.140 able

00:37:51.520 to

00:37:53.600 own their

00:37:56.780 truth

00:37:57.180 and you

00:37:57.480 know I

00:37:57.740 don't like

00:37:58.620 language like

00:37:59.200 that

00:37:59.460 own their

00:37:59.860 truth

00:38:00.140 sounds a

00:38:00.600 little

00:38:00.720 new agey

00:38:01.320 for me

00:38:01.640 it's not

00:38:02.000 the way I

00:38:02.400 normally

00:38:02.760 speak

00:38:03.140 right

00:38:04.060 but

00:38:04.340 survivors

00:38:04.800 hold the

00:38:05.260 truth

00:38:05.680 and here

00:38:07.380 it is

00:38:07.840 right

00:38:08.160 it

00:38:08.580 I don't

00:38:09.960 think

00:38:10.180 someone has

00:38:10.960 their truth

00:38:11.700 on whether

00:38:12.080 two plus

00:38:12.540 two is

00:38:12.900 four

00:38:13.220 right

00:38:13.720 but

00:38:14.660 but your

00:38:15.480 life and

00:38:16.140 your

00:38:16.340 experience

00:38:17.140 no one

00:38:20.900 should take

00:38:21.520 away

00:38:21.900 particularly

00:38:22.600 from a

00:38:23.100 child

00:38:23.520 the ability

00:38:25.880 to tell

00:38:26.320 your story

00:38:27.000 and

00:38:27.540 and and

00:38:28.280 it's

00:38:28.680 and I'll

00:38:30.460 tell you

00:38:30.820 look

00:38:31.140 Trey's law

00:38:32.060 would not

00:38:32.480 have been a

00:38:32.840 law in

00:38:33.420 Missouri

00:38:33.880 Elizabeth

00:38:34.460 without your

00:38:35.060 leadership

00:38:35.440 it would not

00:38:37.620 have been a

00:38:37.880 law in Texas

00:38:38.460 it would not

00:38:38.980 have been a

00:38:39.340 law I mean

00:38:39.900 you have

00:38:40.280 devoted a

00:38:40.840 lot of

00:38:41.420 time to

00:38:42.040 fighting for

00:38:43.020 this nationwide

00:38:43.700 yeah and

00:38:45.380 I hope to

00:38:47.080 get back to

00:38:47.540 my day job

00:38:48.260 eventually I'm

00:38:49.080 a mother of

00:38:49.580 three I've got

00:38:50.100 other things

00:38:50.580 to do this

00:38:51.160 is not

00:38:51.580 something I

00:38:52.640 want to

00:38:53.020 carry

00:38:53.360 it's always

00:38:54.920 encouraging when

00:38:55.960 legislators like

00:38:57.440 yourself step

00:38:58.140 up and say

00:38:59.620 we're going to

00:39:00.000 champion this on

00:39:00.840 behalf of

00:39:01.240 survivors so

00:39:02.640 that Trey's

00:39:03.800 outcome doesn't

00:39:05.280 happen again

00:39:05.940 and I just want

00:39:07.360 to comment on

00:39:08.000 Jaden and

00:39:08.860 what she did

00:39:09.460 today because

00:39:10.320 that was

00:39:11.780 heroic it

00:39:13.520 will inspire

00:39:14.000 others to

00:39:14.560 come forward

00:39:15.140 and as she

00:39:16.260 stated in her

00:39:16.880 testimony she

00:39:18.080 just doesn't

00:39:18.780 want other

00:39:19.760 people to

00:39:20.280 continue to

00:39:20.800 be victimized

00:39:21.620 by her

00:39:21.980 abuser

00:39:22.340 today was

00:39:23.400 the first

00:39:23.880 time she

00:39:24.340 named her

00:39:24.900 abuser

00:39:25.420 wow

00:39:25.720 and I

00:39:28.880 am so

00:39:29.400 honored

00:39:29.740 I didn't

00:39:30.140 realize that

00:39:30.720 when she

00:39:31.040 said that

00:39:31.420 I assumed

00:39:32.180 she had

00:39:32.620 said it

00:39:33.100 previously

00:39:33.880 I did

00:39:34.220 not realize

00:39:34.720 she had

00:39:35.060 not

00:39:35.360 that's

00:39:35.800 when a

00:39:36.040 press

00:39:36.280 conference

00:39:36.700 becomes

00:39:37.160 holy

00:39:37.620 sacred

00:39:38.840 space

00:39:40.260 because she

00:39:42.020 was sharing

00:39:42.540 the truth

00:39:43.240 about a

00:39:44.280 predator

00:39:44.560 who's still

00:39:45.080 out there

00:39:45.540 and I

00:39:48.000 am amazed

00:39:49.460 by her

00:39:49.840 courage

00:39:50.300 because she

00:39:51.040 achieved settlement

00:39:51.780 last year

00:39:53.040 and asked

00:39:54.980 she wanted

00:39:55.860 this opportunity

00:39:56.540 it was healing

00:39:57.660 for her

00:39:58.220 as hard as

00:39:59.200 it was

00:39:59.740 to be able

00:40:00.520 to stand

00:40:01.140 on truth

00:40:01.720 and that's

00:40:03.120 one of our

00:40:03.460 slogans

00:40:03.800 with the

00:40:04.080 Trey's Law

00:40:04.440 campaign

00:40:04.840 is every

00:40:05.480 voice of

00:40:06.160 truth matters

00:40:07.080 because I

00:40:08.020 agree with you

00:40:08.600 I don't like

00:40:09.160 this language

00:40:09.680 around

00:40:10.160 their truth

00:40:12.000 there is

00:40:13.800 absolute

00:40:14.720 truth

00:40:15.340 and

00:40:16.640 Jaden

00:40:17.480 stood on

00:40:17.920 that today

00:40:18.420 in her

00:40:19.000 remarks

00:40:19.440 and we

00:40:20.080 got to

00:40:20.480 stand

00:40:20.740 beside her

00:40:21.380 and that

00:40:22.560 was so

00:40:22.900 powerful

00:40:23.320 and like

00:40:23.660 you said

00:40:23.960 not a dry

00:40:24.720 eye in the

00:40:25.180 room

00:40:25.440 because if

00:40:26.580 you're not

00:40:27.020 personally

00:40:27.300 affected by

00:40:28.020 child sexual

00:40:28.680 abuse 1.00

00:40:29.040 you sure

00:40:29.840 know someone

00:40:30.560 who is

00:40:32.160 or will

00:40:32.860 come forward

00:40:33.520 eventually

00:40:33.920 about that

00:40:34.720 the numbers

00:40:35.420 are staggering

00:40:36.160 yeah and

00:40:37.080 we have

00:40:38.080 studied this

00:40:38.800 only one

00:40:39.820 in seven

00:40:40.300 victims

00:40:40.900 will ever

00:40:41.580 come forward

00:40:42.260 and the

00:40:43.980 delay disclosure

00:40:44.740 issue I was

00:40:45.260 bringing up

00:40:45.640 earlier

00:40:46.020 especially with

00:40:47.180 male victims

00:40:47.780 they often

00:40:48.520 don't disclose

00:40:49.060 until between

00:40:49.540 the age of

00:40:49.920 50 and 70

00:40:50.740 and so it's

00:40:52.320 important parents

00:40:52.940 understand that

00:40:53.660 because again

00:40:54.880 I think

00:40:56.040 they think

00:40:56.620 if someone

00:40:57.620 experiences this

00:40:59.420 that child's

00:41:00.480 going to come

00:41:00.840 home and tell

00:41:01.320 mom and dad

00:41:01.820 immediately

00:41:02.240 but to your

00:41:02.780 point

00:41:03.100 it's not like

00:41:04.260 you know

00:41:05.200 an injury

00:41:05.900 you would

00:41:06.640 endure

00:41:07.200 on the

00:41:08.040 streets

00:41:08.440 or

00:41:08.860 in some

00:41:09.520 sort of

00:41:09.780 other

00:41:09.960 accident

00:41:10.460 this

00:41:11.400 does have

00:41:12.340 an element

00:41:12.720 of shame

00:41:13.080 and what

00:41:13.400 Jaden did

00:41:13.980 today

00:41:14.380 is she put

00:41:15.360 the shame

00:41:15.680 back where

00:41:16.040 it belongs

00:41:16.480 on the

00:41:18.220 person who

00:41:18.840 abused her 0.79

00:41:19.420 it was never

00:41:20.300 her fault

00:41:20.820 and let me

00:41:21.200 say to anyone

00:41:21.720 listening to

00:41:22.400 this if

00:41:22.920 you've been

00:41:23.580 a victim

00:41:23.960 it's not

00:41:24.440 your fault

00:41:25.080 and that's

00:41:25.820 one of the

00:41:26.360 lies 0.64

00:41:26.820 these abusers

00:41:27.720 try to

00:41:28.440 convince

00:41:28.900 children

00:41:29.900 that it

00:41:31.620 is your

00:41:32.080 fault that

00:41:32.580 you invited

00:41:33.220 this

00:41:33.560 that the

00:41:34.440 blame is

00:41:35.020 with you

00:41:35.400 and that

00:41:35.740 is a

00:41:36.040 total

00:41:36.620 and complete

00:41:37.420 lie

00:41:37.820 yeah

00:41:38.200 and that's

00:41:38.640 what grooming

00:41:39.180 does

00:41:39.860 and what

00:41:40.240 grooming

00:41:40.520 is

00:41:41.120 is it

00:41:42.260 creates

00:41:42.700 secrecy

00:41:43.500 if you ever

00:41:44.260 tell anyone

00:41:45.000 I'm going to 0.92

00:41:45.500 hurt your 0.99

00:41:46.420 loved one

00:41:48.000 or if you ever

00:41:48.640 tell anyone

00:41:49.080 it's going to

00:41:49.480 ruin everything

00:41:50.220 that is a

00:41:51.120 grooming tactic 0.82

00:41:51.860 to keep the

00:41:52.760 victim quiet

00:41:53.420 and they often

00:41:54.040 don't come out

00:41:54.700 of that

00:41:54.960 brainwashing

00:41:55.620 for many

00:41:56.120 many years

00:41:56.580 so that's

00:41:57.260 why research

00:41:57.980 shows all

00:41:59.020 of this

00:41:59.340 around delayed

00:41:59.900 disclosure

00:42:00.420 Jaden

00:42:01.220 she was

00:42:01.920 able to

00:42:02.300 move from

00:42:02.980 victimization

00:42:04.520 to survivor

00:42:05.940 and now

00:42:06.480 survivor advocate

00:42:07.420 in a matter

00:42:08.040 of months

00:42:08.660 and that's

00:42:09.100 what we

00:42:09.320 got to

00:42:09.660 witness

00:42:10.000 today

00:42:10.480 thanks to

00:42:11.700 you

00:42:12.060 introducing

00:42:12.720 Trace Law

00:42:13.280 federally

00:42:13.760 along with

00:42:14.300 Senator

00:42:14.560 Gillibrand

00:42:14.940 and other

00:42:15.220 co-sponsors

00:42:15.840 and I

00:42:16.060 thought

00:42:16.200 Senator

00:42:16.500 Britt had

00:42:16.920 some

00:42:17.120 really

00:42:17.360 poignant

00:42:17.740 remarks

00:42:18.240 as well

00:42:18.640 she was

00:42:19.020 fantastic

00:42:19.440 oh and

00:42:20.300 it was

00:42:21.420 very clear

00:42:22.360 that the

00:42:23.740 group you

00:42:24.200 mentioned

00:42:24.500 earlier

00:42:24.780 the ones

00:42:25.120 you've

00:42:25.280 asked

00:42:25.420 so far

00:42:25.860 they are

00:42:26.540 behind

00:42:26.800 survivors

00:42:27.260 they want

00:42:27.740 to protect

00:42:28.220 survivors

00:42:28.860 voices

00:42:29.340 and that's

00:42:30.340 what Trace Law

00:42:30.920 will do

00:42:31.400 and it does

00:42:32.240 need to be

00:42:32.680 national

00:42:33.140 because going

00:42:34.140 state by

00:42:34.680 state

00:42:35.120 creates an

00:42:36.220 imbalance

00:42:36.660 protects the

00:42:38.080 people in

00:42:39.200 power the

00:42:39.680 predators

00:42:40.080 and the

00:42:40.560 institutions

00:42:41.000 that harbor

00:42:41.520 these predators

00:42:42.180 over a

00:42:44.360 child having

00:42:44.800 ownership of

00:42:45.360 their story

00:42:45.900 and that's

00:42:47.840 the core

00:42:48.280 of our

00:42:48.600 mission here

00:42:49.340 and thank

00:42:50.580 you for

00:42:50.840 taking time

00:42:51.420 out of a

00:42:51.820 not a slow

00:42:52.640 news day

00:42:53.100 to make

00:42:53.740 this a

00:42:54.020 priority

00:42:54.440 to hear

00:42:55.140 from people

00:42:55.580 like Jaden

00:42:56.180 and others

00:42:56.780 who spoke

00:42:57.180 this is

00:42:57.660 important

00:42:58.100 to happen

00:42:58.500 and to

00:42:59.160 go to

00:42:59.700 the

00:42:59.960 really

00:43:00.560 corrosive

00:43:01.640 power of

00:43:02.260 shame

00:43:02.540 last year

00:43:04.400 and we

00:43:04.580 talked about

00:43:04.960 this earlier

00:43:05.380 today

00:43:05.820 a law

00:43:07.220 that I

00:43:07.540 authored

00:43:07.920 and we

00:43:08.660 passed

00:43:09.000 into law

00:43:09.520 was the

00:43:09.920 take it

00:43:10.180 down

00:43:10.380 act

00:43:10.720 and the

00:43:11.540 take it

00:43:12.120 down

00:43:12.360 act

00:43:12.720 makes it

00:43:13.920 a crime

00:43:14.500 to post

00:43:15.260 non-consensual

00:43:16.200 intimate

00:43:16.580 imagery

00:43:17.140 either

00:43:17.600 real

00:43:18.820 pictures

00:43:19.320 and you

00:43:19.720 see

00:43:20.220 so-called

00:43:21.280 revenge

00:43:21.700 porn 0.92

00:43:22.160 of 0.82

00:43:22.680 explicit

00:43:23.340 photographs

00:43:23.940 or videos

00:43:24.460 that a

00:43:25.540 couple

00:43:25.720 breaks up

00:43:26.380 and one

00:43:27.060 decides

00:43:27.520 okay

00:43:27.820 I'm

00:43:28.080 gonna

00:43:28.260 hurt

00:43:29.580 my

00:43:30.760 former

00:43:31.780 lover

00:43:32.140 and

00:43:32.680 public

00:43:33.540 and no

00:43:33.960 one has

00:43:34.280 the right

00:43:34.720 to make

00:43:35.120 that public

00:43:35.640 and to do

00:43:36.040 that to

00:43:36.400 someone else

00:43:36.960 but we've

00:43:38.040 also seen

00:43:38.820 with AI

00:43:39.320 the rise

00:43:40.300 of deep

00:43:40.700 fakes

00:43:41.120 and

00:43:41.540 this problem

00:43:44.100 has increased

00:43:44.720 more than

00:43:45.100 3,000%

00:43:45.980 in the last

00:43:46.660 year

00:43:46.980 and more

00:43:47.620 than 90%

00:43:48.380 of the

00:43:48.640 victims

00:43:48.960 are either

00:43:49.500 women 1.00

00:43:49.780 or teenage

00:43:50.300 girls 0.98

00:43:50.780 and when

00:43:52.920 we were

00:43:53.240 pushing to

00:43:53.880 pass it

00:43:54.340 and building

00:43:54.760 the coalition

00:43:55.360 to pass it

00:43:56.040 one of the

00:43:56.500 things we

00:43:56.940 did

00:43:57.280 the first lady

00:43:58.880 became very

00:43:59.540 actively involved

00:44:00.220 in this legislation

00:44:01.020 and I

00:44:01.340 appreciated

00:44:01.800 she

00:44:02.220 I hosted

00:44:02.940 the first lady

00:44:03.660 on Capitol Hill

00:44:04.700 and she

00:44:05.200 was at a roundtable

00:44:06.800 where she met

00:44:07.600 with a number

00:44:09.060 of the victims

00:44:09.620 and to give

00:44:11.900 you a sense

00:44:12.560 there was

00:44:13.200 one person

00:44:13.880 who testified

00:44:14.480 who was

00:44:15.320 a state

00:44:16.180 legislator

00:44:16.840 in South

00:44:17.420 Carolina

00:44:17.900 whose son

00:44:20.040 had received

00:44:22.520 it was

00:44:23.140 online

00:44:23.720 and he

00:44:25.780 was a teenager

00:44:26.440 and he

00:44:27.960 thought he

00:44:28.540 was talking

00:44:29.720 with a cute

00:44:30.400 teenage girl

00:44:31.100 and the

00:44:33.160 supposed cute

00:44:34.160 teenage girl

00:44:34.820 was flirting

00:44:35.380 with him

00:44:35.900 and teenage

00:44:36.920 boys

00:44:37.540 everyone

00:44:40.120 can make 0.99

00:44:40.580 foolish decisions 1.00

00:44:41.440 but teenage 1.00

00:44:42.020 boys

00:44:42.540 in particular

00:44:43.700 this

00:44:45.120 cute girl

00:44:46.660 convinced him

00:44:47.720 to take

00:44:48.480 revealing

00:44:50.080 and naked

00:44:50.520 pictures of

00:44:51.060 himself

00:44:51.400 and to send

00:44:52.380 those pictures

00:44:53.580 it turned out

00:44:56.340 that the cute

00:44:56.880 girl was not 0.98

00:44:57.460 a cute girl

00:44:58.020 but rather

00:44:59.220 was a

00:45:00.280 predator

00:45:00.760 a predator 0.52

00:45:03.320 a foreign 0.60

00:45:03.840 predator

00:45:04.220 who then

00:45:05.880 began blackmailing

00:45:06.940 him

00:45:07.160 and saying

00:45:08.680 I'm going

00:45:09.100 to take

00:45:09.400 this picture

00:45:09.940 that you

00:45:10.300 just took

00:45:10.920 you just

00:45:11.960 took a 0.80

00:45:12.300 naked picture 0.93

00:45:12.820 of yourself

00:45:13.240 and sent

00:45:13.600 it to me

00:45:13.960 I'm going

00:45:15.100 to send

00:45:15.520 this picture

00:45:16.160 to your

00:45:16.920 family

00:45:17.300 I'm going

00:45:17.740 to send

00:45:17.980 it to your

00:45:18.300 parents

00:45:18.660 I'm going

00:45:18.920 to send

00:45:19.160 it to your

00:45:19.500 friends

00:45:19.840 I'm going

00:45:20.100 to send

00:45:20.380 it to everyone

00:45:21.020 unless you

00:45:22.240 give me

00:45:22.640 money

00:45:23.100 sextortion

00:45:24.280 and tragically

00:45:26.460 this teenage

00:45:27.040 boy took

00:45:27.560 his life

00:45:28.040 the entire

00:45:29.820 exchange

00:45:30.640 from the

00:45:31.280 first

00:45:31.640 interaction

00:45:32.340 to when

00:45:33.900 he took

00:45:34.160 his own

00:45:34.500 life

00:45:34.860 was 90

00:45:36.220 minutes

00:45:36.620 and his

00:45:38.700 father shared

00:45:39.320 that story

00:45:39.880 but that's

00:45:40.400 the power

00:45:40.840 of shame

00:45:41.340 of this

00:45:42.400 teenager

00:45:42.900 who had

00:45:43.320 taken a

00:45:43.760 picture

00:45:44.080 thinking he

00:45:44.760 was flirting

00:45:45.320 and then

00:45:46.040 the terror

00:45:46.780 of if I

00:45:48.240 get exposed

00:45:49.020 for that

00:45:50.240 which look

00:45:51.060 compared to

00:45:52.340 being a

00:45:52.700 victim of

00:45:53.440 sexual assault

00:45:54.180 taking a

00:45:54.680 picture of

00:45:55.100 yourself

00:45:55.540 is not

00:45:57.300 nearly as

00:45:57.920 severe

00:45:58.380 and yet

00:45:59.100 that shame

00:46:00.380 was so

00:46:00.980 powerful

00:46:01.600 that that

00:46:03.520 teenage boy

00:46:04.080 took his

00:46:04.440 own life

00:46:04.940 I mean

00:46:05.320 this is

00:46:06.020 the pressures

00:46:07.640 on our

00:46:08.120 kids

00:46:08.500 they're

00:46:10.140 enormous

00:46:10.700 and they

00:46:11.220 face things

00:46:12.140 that

00:46:12.400 technology

00:46:14.160 amplifies

00:46:14.960 all of

00:46:15.320 this

00:46:15.600 yeah

00:46:15.960 it's

00:46:16.620 really

00:46:17.200 an

00:46:17.680 epidemic

00:46:18.000 yeah

00:46:18.480 and

00:46:19.520 as a

00:46:21.720 mom of

00:46:22.520 you have

00:46:22.800 two girls

00:46:23.340 the threats

00:46:25.280 are different

00:46:25.740 than they

00:46:26.080 were in

00:46:26.400 our

00:46:26.560 childhoods

00:46:27.420 very

00:46:27.880 different

00:46:28.340 very

00:46:29.020 different

00:46:29.300 we were

00:46:29.640 playing

00:46:29.980 Super Mario

00:46:31.220 one in

00:46:31.720 three kids

00:46:33.340 sexually 0.61

00:46:33.720 online

00:46:34.180 one in

00:46:34.840 three

00:46:35.060 and so

00:46:35.840 again

00:46:36.600 thank you

00:46:37.060 for

00:46:37.300 championing

00:46:38.480 the

00:46:38.820 take it

00:46:39.280 down

00:46:39.540 act

00:46:40.000 and

00:46:40.280 your

00:46:40.680 co-sponsors

00:46:41.420 and the

00:46:42.080 survivors

00:46:42.560 and sadly

00:46:43.080 the families

00:46:43.840 victimized

00:46:44.540 in that

00:46:44.820 situation

00:46:45.300 the

00:46:45.860 National

00:46:46.160 Center

00:46:46.420 on

00:46:46.780 Missing

00:46:47.100 Explodied

00:46:47.480 Children

00:46:47.720 just put

00:46:48.060 out a

00:46:48.240 very

00:46:48.400 powerful

00:46:48.920 video

00:46:49.280 on that

00:46:49.620 issue

00:46:49.920 in

00:46:50.080 particular

00:46:50.460 and

00:46:51.300 when

00:46:51.460 I

00:46:51.580 was

00:46:51.720 the

00:46:51.840 board

00:46:51.980 chair

00:46:52.200 of

00:46:52.320 an

00:46:52.420 anti-trafficking

00:46:53.020 organization

00:46:53.600 the FBI

00:46:54.220 put out

00:46:54.760 their notice

00:46:55.220 on

00:46:55.400 sextortion

00:46:55.900 we

00:46:56.900 had

00:46:57.500 something

00:46:57.800 come

00:46:57.980 through

00:46:58.120 a

00:46:58.260 case

00:46:58.520 around

00:46:58.860 girls 0.98

00:46:59.360 being

00:46:59.640 trafficked

00:47:00.020 on

00:47:00.200 Venmo

00:47:00.620 so

00:47:01.380 it's

00:47:01.600 sometimes

00:47:02.160 often

00:47:02.760 these

00:47:03.500 apps

00:47:03.940 parents

00:47:04.280 aren't

00:47:04.460 even

00:47:04.640 thinking

00:47:05.060 about

00:47:05.540 but

00:47:06.820 Roblox

00:47:07.600 especially

00:47:08.400 atrocious

00:47:09.420 so many

00:47:10.380 examples

00:47:10.900 of

00:47:11.460 abuse

00:47:12.640 happening

00:47:13.140 on

00:47:13.460 Discord

00:47:13.880 and then

00:47:14.760 what they

00:47:15.020 do

00:47:15.160 is

00:47:15.260 they

00:47:15.360 take

00:47:15.560 it

00:47:15.660 live

00:47:16.020 so

00:47:16.680 in

00:47:17.380 my

00:47:17.760 brother's

00:47:19.280 institution

00:47:19.540 that

00:47:20.040 covered

00:47:20.340 up

00:47:20.520 abuse

00:47:21.020 now

00:47:21.280 it's

00:47:21.420 these

00:47:21.560 tech

00:47:21.800 companies

00:47:22.180 covering

00:47:22.520 up

00:47:22.700 abuse

00:47:23.160 and

00:47:24.140 the

00:47:24.460 bad

00:47:24.780 actors

00:47:25.260 are

00:47:26.100 a

00:47:26.980 step

00:47:27.160 ahead

00:47:27.360 of

00:47:27.500 us

00:47:27.780 and

00:47:28.720 the

00:47:28.880 legislation

00:47:29.440 can't

00:47:30.260 continue

00:47:30.540 to be

00:47:30.840 reactive

00:47:31.360 what I

00:47:32.620 think

00:47:32.840 Trey's

00:47:33.240 law

00:47:33.440 does

00:47:34.240 is

00:47:34.440 it

00:47:34.580 removes

00:47:34.920 that

00:47:35.140 barrier

00:47:35.560 because

00:47:36.100 the

00:47:36.320 shame

00:47:36.540 is

00:47:36.680 already

00:47:36.880 inherent

00:47:37.280 in

00:47:37.680 the

00:47:38.000 crime

00:47:38.240 itself

00:47:38.680 and

00:47:39.980 it

00:47:40.100 removes

00:47:40.440 that

00:47:40.640 barrier

00:47:40.920 so

00:47:41.120 that

00:47:41.280 victims

00:47:41.600 come

00:47:41.860 forward

00:47:42.160 quicker

00:47:42.480 we

00:47:43.000 can

00:47:43.180 catch

00:47:43.420 the

00:47:43.560 bad

00:47:43.740 guys

00:47:43.940 faster

00:47:44.440 and

00:47:45.040 the

00:47:45.200 truth

00:47:45.440 comes

00:47:49.280 the

00:47:49.760 power

00:47:50.080 imbalance

00:47:50.480 is

00:47:50.760 in

00:47:50.920 such

00:47:51.200 a

00:47:51.340 way

00:47:51.500 that

00:47:51.800 lawyers

00:47:52.760 even

00:47:53.040 plaintiffs

00:47:53.440 attorneys

00:47:53.800 as we've

00:47:54.240 discussed

00:47:54.660 or

00:47:55.920 others

00:47:56.980 are

00:47:57.360 keeping

00:47:57.800 that

00:47:58.240 victim

00:47:58.640 from

00:47:58.940 speaking

00:47:59.240 out

00:47:59.540 so

00:47:59.940 NDAs

00:48:01.020 are

00:48:01.120 one

00:48:01.340 barrier

00:48:01.720 but

00:48:02.080 the

00:48:02.280 shame

00:48:02.500 is

00:48:02.660 real

00:48:02.940 and

00:48:03.980 the

00:48:04.360 gap

00:48:04.660 in

00:48:04.820 parental

00:48:05.080 education

00:48:05.600 is

00:48:06.060 real

00:48:06.340 and

00:48:06.800 that's

00:48:07.220 why

00:48:07.300 conversations

00:48:07.680 like

00:48:07.900 this

00:48:08.060 really

00:48:08.320 matter

00:48:08.660 well

00:48:09.280 Elizabeth

00:49:21.000 this

00:49:21.160 legislation

00:49:21.580 passed

00:49:22.040 and

00:49:22.180 they

00:50:29.480 we

00:50:29.600 were

00:50:29.720 doing

00:50:30.000 but

00:50:30.400 really

00:50:30.620 powerful

00:51:13.380 notice

00:51:14.080 there's

00:51:14.400 a

00:51:14.560 surge

00:51:14.940 on

00:51:15.120 a

00:51:15.240 topic

00:51:15.620 it

00:51:18.300 makes

00:51:18.920 a

00:51:19.120 difference

00:51:19.520 and it

00:51:19.840 focuses

00:51:20.580 the

00:51:20.860 mind

00:51:21.180 and

00:51:21.360 so

00:51:30.700 speak

00:51:31.020 out

00:51:31.320 on

00:51:32.160 social

00:51:32.480 media

00:51:32.800 put

00:51:41.060 but

00:51:41.340 speak

00:51:41.980 out

00:51:42.620 and

00:51:43.840 advocate

00:51:44.260 it

00:51:44.680 because

00:51:45.340 the

00:51:46.020 more

00:51:46.300 people

00:51:46.660 hear

00:51:46.980 about

00:51:47.320 this

00:51:47.720 I

00:51:48.560 think

00:51:48.900 it

00:51:49.000 is

00:51:49.120 basic

00:51:49.500 common

00:51:49.820 sense

00:51:50.240 there

00:51:50.500 is

00:51:50.700 no

00:51:51.080 reason

00:51:51.700 a

00:51:52.140 child

00:51:53.060 lacks 1.00

00:51:53.800 the

00:51:54.940 emotional

00:51:55.540 maturity

00:51:56.240 to

00:51:57.680 make

00:51:57.960 a

00:51:58.100 decision

00:51:58.500 to

00:51:58.740 bind

00:51:58.960 themselves

00:51:59.360 by

00:51:59.580 an

00:51:59.700 NDA

00:52:00.040 and

00:52:01.080 Trey's

00:52:01.640 law

00:52:01.840 is

00:52:01.960 going

00:52:02.100 to

00:52:02.180 say

00:52:02.400 we're

00:52:02.640 not

00:52:02.880 going

00:52:03.020 to

00:52:03.120 allow

00:52:03.380 children

00:52:03.860 to

00:52:04.100 be

00:52:04.260 taken

00:52:04.540 advantage

00:52:05.020 of

00:52:05.240 first

00:52:05.560 when

00:52:05.760 they're

00:52:05.940 abused

00:52:06.300 but

00:52:06.480 they're

00:52:06.660 taken

00:52:07.340 advantage

00:52:07.800 of

00:52:07.980 a

00:52:08.120 second

00:52:08.340 time

00:52:08.820 when

00:52:10.100 they

00:52:10.740 are

00:52:11.100 pressured

00:52:12.820 into

00:52:13.160 signing

00:52:13.520 an

00:52:13.720 NDA

00:52:14.080 and

00:52:14.580 muzzled

00:52:15.040 for

00:52:15.240 the

00:52:15.380 rest

00:52:15.600 of

00:52:15.740 their

00:52:15.860 life

00:52:16.300 and

00:52:16.600 look

00:52:19.060 we
