Listen Later

In this powerful episode, Rachel welcomes Laila Mickelwait, co-founder and CEO of the Justice Defense Fund and leader of the Trafficking Hub movement. Laila has dedicated her life to combating sex trafficking and holding Pornhub accountable for profiting from criminal sexual abuse. Her work, which has been featured in major media outlets, exposes the dark underbelly of the porn industry and its ties to sex trafficking.
The discussion highlights the parallels between cult dynamics and the exploitation within the porn industry, focusing on the manipulation, coercion, and indoctrination involved. Lila shares heart-wrenching stories of victims whose lives have been shattered by these crimes, emphasizing the urgent need for systemic change and justice for survivors.
Laila's national bestseller, "Takedown: Inside the Fight to Shut Down Pornhub for Child Abuse, Rape, and Sex Trafficking," offers a gripping account of her battle to expose and dismantle a criminal online empire. Her insights into the psychological impact on victims and the pervasive culture of victim-blaming provide a sobering look at the challenges faced by those seeking justice.
