Families & Pediatric Sexual Assault - What You Need to Know

 

On January 15, 2025, the United States Supreme Court heard 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.   Truth Exposed is a podcast of the Family Policy Alliance. This episode posted below is about the tragedy of 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, the 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.   As a nurse 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, aspects that definitely destroy families.
