In my book, I do describe these videos I don't really hold back because I want
people to know
what actually was taking place, what these victims were going through on this
site.
And one of the things that victims have shared that I think is also really
important to know
is that when those videos are uploaded, they had a download button so that
anybody in the world
could actually download and possess that child abuse, the rape, all of that on
their devices
and then re-upload it again and again and again and again.
And so victims actually call this the immortalization of their trauma.
So they say, you know, it's one thing to be raped, but then it's filmed and
then it's uploaded
and then it's monetized for profit and pleasure and people are actually getting
pleasure out
of the worst moment of my life and it'll never go away because once it's on the
internet,
it's out of control and it's just like this whack-a-mole game where they're
constantly just
trying to find it and then beg for it to come down.
And then even if they can, it just gets uploaded again.
And one victim said, my abuser put me in a mental prison, but Pornhub gave me a
life sentence.
Wow.
And that was really powerful.
And were all these like foreign, were they domestic, it was everywhere?
It was everywhere.
So here's one story that I'll share with you.
Serena Flightis.
So Serena Flightis, she's from Bakersfield, California.
She was an innocent 13-year-old girl and she had a crush on a boy a year older
than her.
So she, you know, at the time she'd never kissed a boy before.
She was a straight A student and he convinced her to send him some nude images
and videos
of herself, which she did because she wanted to impress him, right?
This is like very common today, sexting, all that.
And then he shared it with classmates.
And then the classmates uploaded to Pornhub where it began to get millions and
millions of views.
So she would then reach out to Pornhub and beg for them to take the videos down
and they
would often ignore her.
And she's an adolescent.
Yes, she's a child, like she's a young teen, right?
And then if they did answer, they would hassle her, prove that you're a victim,
prove that
you're underage in these videos.
Now, remember, nobody had to prove age and consent to upload, but if you want
to get it
down, she's testifying, she's testified this before Canadian Parliament, she's
suing Pornhub
right now, that she would be hassled to prove that she's a victim.
Then if she did get it down, then it would just get re-uploaded again, right?
And so this sent her on a spiral of trauma and despair.
She ended up dropping out of school because she was being bullied.
She got addicted to drugs to try to numb the pain.
She tried to kill herself multiple times.
And then she wound up homeless, living out of a car.
And that was her story, right?
And like that could happen to any young teen.
Yeah, I could imagine that a lot of people in that instance, you almost end up
taking,
wanting to take your life or consider suicide because your life isn't even
yours anymore.
Yeah, because it's like that immortalization, the trauma.
It's like, I'll never escape this because even if I can find healing, I can do
whatever,
trauma therapy, but then it's almost like a wound and then a scab just gets
peeled off again
and peeled off again as those videos keep getting-
It's like hell.
It's like something you would hear about happening in hell.
Yeah, and actually to your point, the stats on ideations of suicide for victims
of this
kind of abuse, I mean, it's 50% who have suicidal ideations after going through
this.
And not just child sexual abuse.
I mean, that includes, you know, when videos are consensually recorded, but
then non-consensually
uploaded and the shame and all of that that comes along with that.
I mean, this is the stats for victims of this kind of abuse.
And so-
