(Original air date  06/02/16)


​​Episode Description

Sex Trafficking is a global phenomena and it is mostly gang-driven. This week we will be looking at a brutal sex trafficking gang operating out of New Jersey that ensnared a 14-year-old runaway girl and forced her to have sex with up to 10 men a day.

Episode 3: The Psychology of Pimping & Grooming; Live Streaming Child Sexual Abuse; and Global Migration Exploitation

(Original  air date 06/09/16)


​​Episode Description

Police uncovered a national child sex ring covering 23 states and 60 victims -- many under age. These pimps were brutal monsters who groomed and broke the girls into compliance. We will explore the psychology of pimping.

How does a predator reach a child, seduce them so they can open the door to trust them, and then groom them so that they will become trapped in a world of exploitation? This segment examines the psychology of grooming based on Opal Singleton’s book, “Seduced: The Grooming of America’s Teenagers.”

Child sexual exploitation being live-streamed around the globe is a fast-growing global phenomena. Men sitting in the privacy of their own homes exploit children living in poverty struck countries. We will examine the technology that makes this possible.

We are in a unique time in history where literally millions of individuals are being uprooted and displaced. Most of these are good people, who are desperate, but easy prey for exploitation.




Episode 11: Human Trafficking: The Global Goldmine for Gangs and Cartels​ (Part 2)

(Original air date  08/04/16)

​​Episode Description


Gangs are making more money selling people than they are selling drugs in many cities. In fact in some US Cities, 90% of sex trafficking cases have a gang connection. This week’s show will explore some of the most violent and prolific gang sex trafficking cases including the Dog Pound Gang (Fresno, California), The Tycoon Gang (San Diego, California) , El Flaco and the South Florida Gang (Transnational Gang).

Gangs and multi state sex trafficking cases are some of the hardest cases for law enforcement to deal with. The level of brutality to the victim is often beyond comprehension. The rings are sophisticated, organized and violent. And, they are making millions of dollars by exploiting the most vulnerable. The victims are often young teenagers or foreign national women who cannot get free.  Join Exploited – Crimes Against Humanity and help us educate the public to recognize potential cases and provide the information necessary to help prevent and end this indescribable travesty.

Episode 6: The Truth About Male Sex & Labor Exploitation

(Original air date 06/30/16)

​​Episode Description


This week on Exploited – Crimes Against Humanity we are going to explore sex and labor trafficking of males.

Trafficking involving males often does not get enough attention. Sometimes it is an adult male who is being exploited through labor and sex trafficking. Sometimes it is an unsuspecting teenage boy who is lured in through the promise of a modeling  job or a free iPhone. Sometimes boys are sextorted through relationships developed via apps like Grindr or video game chat rooms where they have bonded with their new friend. Sometimes it is “survival sex,” known as trading your body for food and shelter to have a place to stay. Research shows that over 60% of exploited males are heterosexual.

Episode 7: The Power of Fantasy in Grooming

(Original air date 07/07/16)

​​Episode Description


Victims of sex trafficking are most often lured, groomed and controlled by pimps and predators. Pimping is not about sex. It is all about creating a facade. A dream. A Fantasy. Stimulating the want in the mind of a vulnerable person for something they don't currently have. We sometimes call that grooming.

 This week's show is going to examine the power of the grooming process. Sometimes the smartest people are lured in. Sex and fantasy can be amazing or it can be a prison. How do you break the fantasy of a 15-year-old girl being groomed by a predator? She wants to believe with all her heart it is real, but you see the warning signs. This is a show every parent and grandparent should hear.

Episode 8: When Fantasy Turns to Nightmare​

(Original air date  07/14/16)

​​Episode Description


This week we are going to continue to explore the intricacies of the grooming process and how predators use our own imaginations to ensnare the vulnerable.  Whether it is an adult male in Thailand, a single woman in Las Vegas, a sweet 14-year-old girl sending an Instagram or a teen boy obsessed with winning at World of Warcraft, no one is safe.
 
Predators are manipulators. What starts out as an innocent fantasy quickly ensnares the victim and they are powerless to get free. This show will delve deep into the abyss of human exploitation and the psychology behind blackmail, sextortion, forced labor and prostitution.
 
The Good News... Once you understand it. You can recognize it and help others so they won't be victimized. Join with us this week and educate yourself to become a LEADER in combating human exploitation. 
 
EDUCATION is the key to combating EXPLOITATION. We need YOU to get informed and get INVOLVED!

There are an estimated 1.8 BILLION video game players in the world. In many ways, it is how our kids learn, communicate, and express themselves. Technology is not good or bad.

Your child’s innocence may be at stake! This week’s show will explore how pedophiles and predators use apps, chatrooms and games to access, groom, recruit and exploit young people. Gaming requires the player to maneuver between a world of fantasy and a world of reality and not become the prey.
