So can you tell me more about like what's what is in the U.S. culture? Is it just we have money and so therefore we want what we want and we're going to go out and get it? Or what is causing and driving the sex industry here in the U.S.?

Yeah, I mean, I'll kind of talk to you about what I'm seeing and what we believe as Christians obviously is going to be kind of a little different.

When we really look and as an organization, we kind of study it, look at it.

For us, I think it's just part of culture.

So when you look at like kind of what we will say is that we believe sex trafficking starts in the junior high hallway.

What I mean by that is as soon as a young girl hits junior high, it's almost like she's told by culture the most important thing about her is her body.

And then to a young guy, he's basically told like his value is going to be based off his body count.

Tell me some of the stories of people you've been able to help out of sex trafficking.

That's how I was going to get popular.

And even one of the girls threw me up against the locker and started making out with me.

She was a senior.

I was a freshman.

And so I started getting other guys thinking I was cool because of that.
