On January 15, 2025, the United States Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Free Speech Coalition vs. Paxton. This case will determine the fate of 19 state laws protecting children from access to online pornography through mandatory age verification requirements.
In our last two episodes of Truth Exposed, we explored the impacts of this case on families and the sex trafficking industry. In today’s episode, we explore perhaps the most important area of impact for this case: pediatric sexual assault.
There’s no question that exposure to pornography, particularly for minors, is a risk factor for sexual violence to minors. In this episode, Joseph Kohm, policy director at Family Policy Alliance, is joined by Heidi Olson, a registered nurse and the founder and president of Paradigm Shift Training and Consulting, which equips healthcare workers with skills-based training to identify human trafficking and exploitation.
Heidi has personally examined and treated numerous victims of pediatric sexual assault, and she courageously uses her voice to raise the alarm about the disturbing relationship between pornography exposure and these heinous crimes. Join us for this special edition of our podcast.
