You know, I'll say Carrie.

"Is your name Carrie?"

"No, I'm not Carrie."

"All right. I'm looking

for a girl named Carrie."

And then I walked away,

and I'm, like,

looking around like

I'm looking for someone.

And, you know,

let a few minutes pass.

And then go back and sit down

by her and say,

"man, that sucks.

I was gonna pay her $500 today."

"Really?"

"Yeah, yeah. I was gonna

do this photo..."

You know, I acted

all nonchalant.

And, you know,

30 minutes later,

she was in front

of my cameras.

- It's akin

to the grooming process

that you see

in prostitution.

To lure in, to groom,

and then there's

a breaking process

that occurs

where their will

is just broken.

And, you know, the same thing

happens in the porn industry.

- The pornography worked

in a couple different ways.

Part of it was

they were filming me alone,

or they would film me

with guys or groups

or whoever,

and just hold that

as one of the reasons

why I couldn't run,

or one of the reasons

why nobody would believe me.

'Cause they were saying,

"you know, you can't leave.

"You're a whore

who has herself on film.

You know, no one's gonna believe

that you're a victim here."

So that was a piece

that I've been scared of,

and I know will follow

me the rest of my life.

You know, I've had people

walk up to me

in public places and say,

"hey, I saw your film."

- Trafficking victims

are used in the production

of porn.

Across the globe,

women who are being forced

into the sex industry,

they're being filmed.

I mean, it's just natural.

Porn and prostitution

go together.

You go to any

red light district,

you go to Vegas, you got porn

all over the place,

you get prostitution

all over the place.

- When did you buy

the first girl, first woman?

- I probably was 18, 19

when I went down

to the bunny ranch.

- Oh, you went down

to the Vegas... in Vegas?

- Yeah. So it was legal. So...

But yeah, obviously,

it's illegal here.

So I wish I was there now

'cause obviously,

I wouldn't

be in trouble now,

and I wouldn't be talking

with you guys.

- Yeah, but if you hear

what you just said,

you wished you'd be there.

The girls there abused,

exploited

from a young age too.

I don't care

if it's legal or not.

It doesn't make it right

'cause it's legal.

- I understand that,

but I wouldn't be

in this predicament

right now if I was there.

- No, but listen,

you are in this predicament now

because you were there.

You know what I'm saying?

- Yeah.

- Get your fix

at 18 years old

and think,

"okay, I'm a young guy.

"I put enough money down,

I can do whatever I want

to a woman."

You see how that's

a little bit twisted?

- This isn't even about sex.

I mean, porn is not about sex.

It's about a very specific type

of sex, commercial sex,

which is inherently

exploitative.

Porn production itself

is a form

of sex trafficking.

Under U.S. federal law,

the trafficking

victims protection act,

sex trafficking

is defined

as the recruitment,

the provision,

the solicitation,

the transportation of a person

for a commercial sex act.

That's a day-in and day-out life

of a porn producer.

- We don't think about that

when we're looking at porn.

We just see this fantasy.

Those faces and those

expressions and those noises

that the girls are making

are 100% fake.

- It's an act.

It's totally an act.

Like, you learn when

to moan

and when to sigh

and 'cause if I could make

a guy's experience

almost more pleasurable,

I'd be out of there faster,

and it probably wouldn't be

as violent.

- When a society demands

more porn,

it's demanding

more prostituted women.

It's demanding

more exploited women.

It's demanding more women

being turned into objects

and commodities.

- I would not want to live

frickin' 50 years in this,

you know,

wasteland of used people

and degrading yourself

and degrading others.

And the only point being...

And the only high point

is finding

a really good blowj*b.

Like that's your life?

That's like...

It's so meaningless.

- I sold my family out

for $1/2 million a year.

How cheap

are you selling yours out?

A couple images,

some video clips?

It's not worth it.

- You're under arrest

for commercial sex abuse

of a minor.

[handcuffs click]

Let's go back here.

- If a daughter isn't feeling

loved by her father,

she's very vulnerable to find

that love in other places,

either through a boyfriend,

a pimp, older men.

And that may not be the love

that she wants or needs,

but it is attention,

and it is validation of sorts.

It's the kind of attention

and validation and love

that she's not getting

at home.

And it leaves her vulnerable

to the prey of a pimp.

- Most teenage girls

are asking two questions...

"Do I matter?"

And "do I have value?"

And they're getting answers

to those questions

from a lot of places.

From their friends,

from school, from the media.

And most of the time,

those answers

that they're getting

are not true.

They don't speak of the value

of a person

and of the purpose

of a person.

And so these girls need

to hear

from their parents

that they do matter,

that they do have value,

that their life is significant.

- Unfortunately, there is still

a tremendously strong link

between a woman's value

in our society

and her sense of sexuality.

Young girls are seeing thousands

of messages every day

from a variety of sources

that directly tell her

her value and worth

in the world

is connected to her body.

- When we focus too much

on the outside,

on the physical appearance,

"are you pretty?

Are you beautiful?"

Then they miss out

on hearing

about their significance,

on their value.

They miss out on

the message that says,

"you can be part of

something bigger than yourself."

- Should a father,

should a mother delight

in a child's precocious beauty

and her playfulness

and innocence?

Absolutely yes.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

But if beauty

is the only thing

you're drawing attention to,

you're really doing

gender violence.

Do you tell your beautiful

two-year-old son

that he's beautiful?

I hope so.

I hope, in many ways,

as often.

But why do you

then talk about,

"oh, you are so strong."

Say that to your daughter?

"You are so bright.

You know, you are so funny."

In other words, our task

is not to create,

but one window of honoring

the glory

of being made

in the image of God.

The facets of

a child's ongoing growth

of goodness and beauty

now needs to be heard

as not merely physical,

but a kind of beauty

that has to do with,

"I love the way

you fight with me.

"You are really articulate

seven-year-old.

"In fact, I got a point

a moment or two ago

"when I wasn't quite sure

what to do with you.

"You are really bright.

"Now, you're also gonna

go to your room.

"So you're not gonna get

more ice cream.

But I love the way

you argued for that."

- A girl who was raised

by a loving father

and an attentive mother
