Human trafficking can take on many forms, and, in most instances, is hiding in plain sight. Victims may be suffering in your child's school, sports team, or youth group, and others may be in your neighborhood or workplace. The hardest to detect may be in your family or even your place of worship. Never think you or your family are immune to the painful effects of trafficking. It is a crime that truly spreads beyond the victim and creates a devastating toll on individuals, families, and communities. Linda explores this topic with her guest, Tami Brown Rodriquez, CEO of Untrafficked, an organization advancing trafficking prevention and digital safety, intervention and victim recovery, survivor-centered solutions, and policy reforms to strengthen penalties for perpetrators of child exploitation and trafficking. Listen to learn of helpful resources for education, prevention, intervention, and healing. Whether you are a business leader, parent, or student – this episode may help you prevent someone you love from being trafficked.

In this powerful episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor Dixon is joined by anti-human trafficking advocate and founder of Jaco Booyens Ministries, Jaco Booyens, to discuss one of the most disturbing consequences of the border crisis: the thousands of migrant children who remain unaccounted for after entering the United States. Tudor and Jaco examine reports that more than 146,000 unaccompanied minors have been located while hundreds of thousands remain missing, the challenges federal agencies face in identifying so-called "super sponsors," and allegations of labor and sex trafficking tied to the immigration system. The conversation also explores concerns surrounding the FIFA World Cup, why major international sporting events often attract human trafficking networks, and what law enforcement agencies are doing to combat exploitation during large-scale events. Plus, Tudor reacts to recent comments from JD Vance, discusses sanctuary city policies, and examines the ongoing effort to locate vulnerable children and prosecute traffickers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A court case in Winnipeg has offered a rare glimpse into the mechanics of how human trafficking can work. And it showed that short-rental rentals, like Airbnb and Vrbo, can be used by traffickers while on the move with their victims. But some cities, like Winnipeg, are taking action. Temur Durrani is a reporter for The Globe based in Winnipeg. He explains the story of a Quebec teenager who survived being trafficked and the regulations Winnipeg has put in place to try and combat human traffickers from using short-term rentals. Questions?

Anthony Santana survived fentanyl addiction, homelessness, drug dealing, and nearly 100 overdoses — but what he saw inside the rehab industry shocked him almost as much as the streets. In this episode of The Connect, Anthony exposes the dark world of rehab corruption, body brokering, and treatment centers allegedly profiting from fentanyl addicts through insurance payouts. He breaks down how addicts are recruited, paid, recycled through detox programs, and sometimes pushed back into relapse so the money keeps flowing. Anthony also opens up about selling fentanyl and Xanax in California, living homeless in Los Angeles, dealing drugs in MacArthur Park, surviving overdoses, and eventually finding real recovery after years of addiction. This is a raw look at the fentanyl crisis, the California rehab scam, and the hidden business behind addiction treatment. Go Support Anthony!

Jas Rawlinson is a fearless journalist, author and advocate. But before she was any of those things, she was a girl trying to survive in a home filled with domestic violence and coercive control. Jas grew up watching her father abuse her mother. She carried that shame into her first relationship, where love bombing turned into sexual abuse. But Jas didn't stay silent. She reclaimed her story and her power. And now, she's on a mission to expose the systems that exploit vulnerable women. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Jas explains the difference between physical and emotional abuse, and why the latter is so often dismissed, why she went undercover to expose Brisbane’s illegal massage parlour industry, and why she refuses to believe all men are the problem. This episode contains graphic descriptions of sexual assault and men's violence against women.

In this episode of Crime Time Inc., Simon and Tom take listeners inside the world of Scottish policing, crime writing, and real-life murder investigations. What begins as a discussion about their upcoming books quickly evolves into a fascinating exploration of cold cases, people trafficking, major investigations, and the detectives who shaped modern policing.Simon discusses his new novel Kintyre: The Past Doesn't Forget, explaining how a real unexplained death he encountered as a young officer in Campbeltown inspired the fictional story. He reveals how the book weaves together four timelines involving organised crime, corruption, trafficking, and a retired detective forced to revisit the past.The episode includes an emotional reading from the novel, following trafficking victim Song Lee as she struggles to survive after escaping exploitation and violence. Simon explains the challenges of writing from the perspective of a trafficked young woman and the importance of portraying victims realistically and respectfully.Tom then introduces his upcoming collection Sex, Spies and Bloody Murder, a series of true stories drawn from his policing career and historical crime research. He shares memories of working major investigations across multiple UK police forces and reflects on the detectives who pioneered modern murder inquiry techniques.A major focus of the discussion is legendary detective Hector Clarke and the early computerisation of murder investigations following the failures identified during the Yorkshire Ripper inquiry. Tom explains how innovation, intelligence analysis, and strategic thinking transformed policing during the hunt for serial killer Robert Black.The hosts also reflect on the responsibility of writing about real victims and crimes, the emotional impact investigations leave on families, and why remembering forgotten victims and detectives still matters today.As always, the episode ends with humour and nostalgia, including a discussion about classic Scottish slang words for someone who smells particularly bad — from “minging” to “howling.” About Crime Time Inc.Season 5 of Crime Time Inc. broadens its reach across two sides of the Atlantic.This season features cases from Scotland and across the wider UK — rooted in real investigative experience — alongside deep dives into some of the most infamous murder cases in American history.Hosted by former detectives Simon and Tom, with experience in both the UK and the United States, including time working alongside the FBI, the show strips away sensationalism to explain how crime and justice really work.Two crime worlds.

MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen in the Leaders in Action segment, spotlights a powerful partnership tackling one of the most urgent human rights issues in Asia: the fight against violence and exploitation. Joining Glenn are Rae Lee, Executive Director of International Justice Mission (IJM) Singapore & Southeast Asia, and Raj Singh, CEO of Coco Veda. For 25 years, IJM has worked with governments around the world to rescue victims, prosecute offenders, strengthen justice systems, and restore survivors to safety. Their mission is bold: rescue millions, protect half a billion, and make justice unstoppable. We explore IJM’s work across the region — from combating online sexual exploitation of children in the Philippines to fighting forced labour in Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Indonesia. Coco Veda’s partnership with IJM is rooted in shared values: dignity, ethical impact, and community empowerment. Through their LiveWell initiative, Coco Veda is donating 30% of proceeds from selected wellness gift sets to support IJM’s work — turning everyday consumer choices into meaningful protection for vulnerable children. We discuss the four pillars of IJM’s protection model, the scale of the problem, and the simple actions individuals and businesses can take to help. Correction: Our interviewee referred to 'nearly 500 million' children were trafficked or exploited to produce child sexual exploitation materials in the Philippines in 2022. The correct figure is about 500,000 children. We apologise for the error and have corrected the record. This remains a deeply concerning issue that underscores the urgent need for collective action to protect children from online sexual exploitation.

In this solo episode of The Informed Citizen, host Dr. Philip Lindholm confronts one of the darkest realities facing America today: human trafficking.Drawing on insights from his recent conversation with trafficking survivor Brea Burnett, Philip exposes the uncomfortable truth that trafficking often doesn't begin with kidnappings or chains. It begins with loneliness, manipulation, and grooming. It thrives in the spaces where vulnerable young people are searching for connection and predators are waiting to exploit them.As a city council member, Philip has seen political disagreements over nearly every issue imaginable, but human trafficking transcends politics. It is a moral crisis that demands action from every citizen. Philip explains how traffickers identify vulnerable children through social media, why communities often miss the warning signs, and what ordinary people can do to protect those most at risk. He argues that law enforcement alone cannot solve this problem. Combating trafficking requires parents, teachers, coaches, hotel workers, and neighbors to remain vigilant and engaged.This is not merely a discussion about crime. It is a call to action for communities to reclaim their responsibility to protect the vulnerable and refuse to look away.Episode Highlights• Why human trafficking is not a partisan issue• The shocking reality that trafficking is happening in communities across America• How traffickers use social media, grooming, and emotional manipulation to target victims• Why trafficking often begins with vulnerability, loneliness, and a desire for connection• The warning signs parents, teachers, and community members should watch for• The enormous resources required to investigate and prosecute trafficking networks• Why law enforcement cannot fight this battle alone• How ordinary citizens can help identify and prevent trafficking• The critical role of community vigilance in protecting children• A call to action for families, schools, local governments, and citizensListen & SubscribeSpotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-informed-citizenApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-informed-citizen/id1738680188Watch More:YouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdscEVfgjkiNh9YK-0yYiTZN7usLZ4CRConnect with UsWebsite: https://theinformedcitizen.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drphiliplindholm/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drphiliplindholmCreditsProduced & Edited by Philip LindholmThis podcast is for informational purposes only and not professional advice.

Big Tech censorship never really stopped. Emmy-winning “The Sopranos” star Drea de Matteo and investigative journalist Sarah Westall are fighting back. Westall has filed a landmark federal lawsuit against Google, YouTube, and the U.S. government, alleging a coordinated government-tech campaign to suppress her speech – the first in American legal history to preemptively challenge the structural bias of the 9th Circuit in Big Tech cases. Westall breaks down how Google allegedly monetized fake, defamatory impersonator channels designed to destroy her professional reputation. Drea de Matteo discusses her UltraFree podcast and clothing line dedicated to free speech, speaks about her personal Hamptons meeting with John F. Kennedy Jr., and asks why the FBI can tally exactly how many cars are stolen every year… but not how many children were trafficked – something that “should bother everyone.” Drea de Matteo is an Emmy Award-winning actress known for her role on The Sopranos.

A Note from James:Have you ever read The Da Vinci Code?That book was definitely a page-turner. Before I read it, I had never really heard of Opus Dei. And after today's conversation with Gareth Gore, you might wish you had never heard of Opus Dei either.In The Da Vinci Code, Opus Dei is a mysterious organization tied to the Catholic Church, secret history, and global power. But today's guest, Gareth Gore, started investigating Opus Dei from a completely different angle. He was looking into the 2017 collapse of a major Spanish bank. He found something much bigger: a secretive organization with connections to global finance, politics, elite schools, the FBI, and even the highest levels of power in Washington, D.C.His book is Opus: The Cult of Dark Money, Human Trafficking, and Right-Wing Conspiracy inside the Catholic Church. And what he found is disturbing. Officially, Opus Dei promotes holiness in everyday life. And honestly, I like parts of that idea. But Gareth argues that behind the public message is a high-control organization built on secrecy, manipulation, financial opacity, and alleged abuse.We talk about how Opus Dei recruits from both the ultra-wealthy and the desperately poor, the strange ownership structures tied to hundreds of millions of dollars, the Robert Hanssen spy scandal, alleged influence in Washington, and Gareth's recent private meeting with Pope Leo, where he says he gave the Pope a dossier calling for serious action.This is an eye-opening story. Here's Gareth Gore.Episode Description:James talks with investigative journalist Gareth Gore about Opus Dei, the secretive Catholic organization at the center of Gareth's book Opus. What started as Gareth's investigation into the collapse of Banco Popular in Spain led him into a much larger story about money, power, religious authority, alleged exploitation, and the ways an institution can hide behind noble language while pursuing a much harder political and financial agenda.Gareth explains that Opus Dei officially presents itself as a Catholic movement dedicated to helping ordinary people find holiness through daily work. But his argument is that the public message conceals a high-control system built around recruitment, secrecy, spiritual pressure, and influence inside elite institutions. He describes Opus Dei as both an official part of the Catholic Church and, in his view, an abusive cult. Opus Dei strongly disputes Gareth's book, calling it a false picture based on distorted facts and conspiracy theories.The conversation moves from Opus Dei's founding in Spain in 1928 to its special status as a personal prelature, its alleged links to Banco Popular, its recruitment practices, the Robert Hanssen spy scandal, elite schools, Washington power networks, and Gareth's recent meeting with Pope Leo. The episode is useful because it does not treat Opus Dei as just a conspiracy theory symbol from The Da Vinci Code. It asks a more direct question: what happens when a religious organization accumulates money, secrecy, political influence, and moral authority at the same time?What You'll Learn:What Opus Dei officially is, and why its status as a personal prelature matters.How Gareth Gore went from investigating a Spanish bank collapse to writing a book about Opus Dei.Why Gareth argues that Opus Dei's public message differs sharply from its internal practices.How Banco Popular allegedly became a financial engine for Opus Dei-linked projects.Why Gareth compares aspects of Opus Dei to a high-control cult.What Gareth says happened in the Robert Hanssen spy scandal.Why the alleged recruitment of minors and underprivileged girls has become one of the most serious issues around the organization.What Gareth told Pope Leo in their private meeting.Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] Gareth Gore on Opus Dei as an alleged abusive cult[02:41] Opus Dei as a “rising militia”[03:54] A Note from James: from The Da Vinci Code to Gareth's investigation[05:54] Gareth joins the show[06:00] How James first heard of Opus Dei[06:37] Gareth's background as a financial journalist[07:11] What is Opus Dei?[07:45] Opus Dei's status as a personal prelature[08:40] Why that structure gives Opus Dei unusual freedom[09:15] Gareth's argument: official Catholic structure, unofficial high-control group[10:03] The positive public message of “holiness in everyday life”[10:43] Josemaría Escrivá and Opus Dei's founding[12:00] When Gareth thinks the movement turned political[13:30] Spain on the edge of civil war[14:14] Escrivá's followers as a “secret army”[15:19] Why Opus Dei recruits from elites[16:00] Why Opus Dei also recruits from the poor[17:09] Underprivileged girls and alleged domestic servitude[17:37] How recruitment works by invitation[19:15] Lifelong study, confession, and spiritual guidance[19:54] Opus Dei's modern agenda[20:46] Sex, family values, and political identity[22:05] Why Dan Brown chose Opus Dei for The Da Vinci Code[24:01] Banco Popular and the financial trail[25:54] The mysterious shareholder structure[26:34] Shell companies and alleged financial flows[27:15] Why not publicly identify Opus Dei as a major shareholder?[28:27] Arm's-length foundations and deniability[29:52] Are there good people inside Opus Dei?[30:32] The founder's rules and internal control[32:51] What happens when people leave[33:52] Robert Hanssen and Opus Dei[35:00] Hanssen's wife, confession, and the Opus Dei priest[36:24] Gareth's theory of institutional self-protection[40:03] How the bank collapse connects back to Opus Dei[41:00] Why Gareth thinks ownership structure delayed reform[42:43] Gareth's private meeting with Pope Leo[44:26] The dossier Gareth gave the Pope[45:08] Why Gareth says the meeting went better than expected[46:15] Allegations involving minors and grooming[47:00] Opus Dei schools and elite recruitment[48:20] After-school clubs and hidden recruitment claims[49:16] Can the good message be separated from the organization?[50:44] Why Gareth thinks the founder's rules are the central problem[51:51] The problem of Escrivá's sainthood[53:00] Could the canonization process be reopened?[54:00] Opus Dei, Silicon Valley, and cult-like power structures[56:41] Peter Thiel, Stanford, and Opus Dei overlap[57:29] Closing thoughts on OpusAdditional Resources:Opus: The Cult of Dark Money, Human Trafficking, and Right-Wing Conspiracy inside the Catholic Church by Gareth Gore.

The internet most people use is only the surface. Beneath it exists a hidden ecosystem of encrypted marketplaces, anonymous communications, cryptocurrency transactions, and criminal networks operating across borders.

From Bitcoin laundering operations to child exploitation investigations and global crypto fraud schemes, this episode reveals how federal agents adapted to a rapidly changing criminal landscape. Key Topics: How IRS CI and Homeland Security collaborate on financial crime cases Early Bitcoin and crypto investigations before crypto became mainstream Human trafficking and exploitation cases tied to cryptocurrency Undercover operations involving money laundering and narcotics trafficking The growing epidemic of crypto scams, fraud, and online victimization This episode is for anyone curious about how cybercrime, cryptocurrency fraud, and dark web investigations operate.

What happens when advocacy turns into lived experience?In this powerful episode, Freedom Challenge Director Tracy Daugherty sits down with Teresa Vardilos and Jennifer Lemburg to reflect on their recent mission trip to Pattaya, Thailand, where they served alongside the Tamar Center, a long-standing ministry supporting women affected by sexual exploitation.Teresa and Jennifer share what it was like to move from knowing the statistics to standing face-to-face with the realities of human trafficking. Through stories of bar outreach, prayer walks on Soi 6, haircuts, gel nail classes, and deep relational ministry, they reveal how God meets people through consistency, compassion, and presence—not forced transformation.This conversation explores the emotional and spiritual weight of witnessing injustice, the importance of preparation and prayer, and how anger, grief, hope, and faith can coexist. It's a raw, honest look at what it means to say yes when God invites us into hard places—and how that yes can transform both the giver and the receiver.---Watch the interview: https://youtu.be/0U4TD2oVeoMRead the blog: www.thefreedomchallenge.com/blogposts/2026/3/18/trafficking-in-thailand---Want to learn more?
