What They Don't Say: Sexual Assault and Everything in Between

Ep. 39 Trapped in a Kink: Surviving Sex Trafficking & Revenge Porn [ft. Em]


Listen Later

In this episode, the ladies dive into Em's story of domestic violence, coercion, and survival. For 15 years, she endured abuse at the hands of her former husband, who not only coerced her into fulfilling his dangerous kinks but also sex trafficked her. Under the guise of pleasing her ex-husband, Em was forced into situations she never consented to, including being advertised on Craigslist and hookup sites. Her ex-husband further violated her by distributing hundreds of intimate photos across the internet, engaging in what is known as revenge porn—images that still circulate today with no help from law enforcement.

Em also opens up about the trauma of her experience, the challenges of navigating life with her personal images still being exploited, and the journey of healing as a single mother and recovering alcoholic. Em is reclaiming her power one day at a time. Oh, and they discuss some TV series recommendations because nothing sparks creativity like a boatload of trauma. Cheers!
