Patrick Trueman led the U.S. Justice Department's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Criminal Division, from 1988 to 1993.

Today, he serves as president and CEO of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, an organization that seeks to "expos[e] the links between all forms of sexual exploitation — such as child sexual abuse, prostitution, sex trafficking and the public health crisis of pornography."

The Center's website is endsexualexploitation.org

Mr. Trueman's remarks, abridged slightly for this podcast, were recorded at a February 2019 conference titled "Pornography: The New Drug," hosted by Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wash.  The conference was sponsored by the Catholic Medical Association.
