This week on the Exodus Cry Podcast, we are joined by Defend Young Minds founder Kristen Jenson to discuss protecting children from porn in the digital age. Kristen is the acclaimed author of Good Pictures Bad Pictures, a digital safety expert, and the CEO of Glen Cove Press. In 2011, Kristen found out her friend’s oldest son had sexually abused their younger children using pornography. Distraught, Kristen felt compelled to search online for resources to warn her friend’s younger children about the dangers of viewing pornography but could not find anything. She set out to create resources for parents to address pornography exposure and consumption. As she began researching and talking to parents, she realized the need was even greater. Kristen began blogging about all she was learning, and it was out of this that Defend Young Minds was born.

Welcome to the first Exodus Cry Podcast episode of 2024! This week we sit down with Arden Young from Sound Investigations to discuss how the Traffickinghub campaign inspired her to become an investigative journalist aiming to expose the criminal activity within MindGeek/Aylo, Pornhub’s parent company. As a child actor in Hollywood, Arden was exposed to the predatory nature of the industry and witnessed inappropriate behavior involving children. Growing up, her father was a private investigator and lawyer, often including her in investigations to show her the ropes. Arden left Hollywood and her acting career in her early twenties, after which she learned of the Traffickinghub campaign. With investigative journalism in her blood, she sought to further the campaign’s efforts with a goal of getting employees to admit to continuing illegal activity. With their own personal funds, the two-person team at Sound Investigations set their sights on MindGeek in Montreal and spent five months in the field interviewing subjects and gathering information. They released their first video in September 2023. Since then, they have released six more videos with incriminating evidence against Pornhub/Mindgeek/Aylo.

On this episode of the Exodus Cry Podcast, Benjamin Nolot sits down with Jessica Kay to discuss the intricacies of trafficking and the ways in which the illusion of choice influences a victim’s perspective on their state of abuse. Jessica is a survivor of domestic violence, homelessness and trafficking. She was trafficked by her “boyfriend” after six months of manipulation and love bombing. While in “the life,” Jessica fully believed prostitution was her choice. It wasn’t until she escaped that she recognized the coercion, abuse and manipulation. Now, Jessica is a Clinical Social Work Intern for A Better Tomorrow and is a Survivor Consultant for UNITAS. She is a member of the Nevada Coalition to Prevent the Exploitation of Children and is a member of the Steering Committee for the Nevada Policy Council on Human Trafficking. Jessica was also named as one of Las Vegas’ 40 under 40. LINKS: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7h6K1rU... Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

On this episode of the Exodus Cry Podcast, we sit down with Victoria Galy, a survivor of and advocate against image-based sexual abuse. In 2020, Victoria discovered hundreds of nonconsensual videos of herself posted to porn sites by three different men, some of which were recorded after she had been secretly drugged. Just one year later Victoria boldly testified at the Canadian Parliament Ethics Hearing against Pornhub/MindGeek. Since then, she has fiercely advocated for justice and federal legislative changes to protect other victims. This includes speaking at a symposium in Washington, D.C., sharing her story on various podcasts, meeting with many U.S. Senators, briefing the White House Task Force to Address Online Harms and Harassments and participating in the development of a landscape report presented to the White House on how to tackle the issue of image-based sexual abuse.

This week on the Exodus Cry Podcast, Dr. Caroline Heldman and Benjamin Nolot ask the question, “How did we get here?” They examine the current sexual culture and how porn has vastly impacted our sexual perceptions. They break down the issues of sexual self-objectification, empowerment, and the current impacts the two have on sexual satisfaction and self-image. Benji and Dr. Heldman also touch on why toxic influencers like Andrew Tate have been given such a platform and resonate with young men in our culture. Dr. Caroline Heldman is the the Executive Director of The Representation Project and Chair of the Critical Theory and Social Justice department at Occidental College in Los Angeles. Dr. Heldman was also featured in our documentary, Liberated: The New Sexual Revolution. LINKS: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7h6K1rU...
