STOLEN: A Year-long Investigation Into Child Sex Trafficking & Exploitation | NBC 7 San Diego



From NBC 7 comes STOLEN; an expansive documentary series about sex trafficking and the exploitation of children in San Diego County and beyond.

Told from multiple perspectives, STOLEN explains why the illicit child sex market thrives in San Diego County and across the U.S., while chronicling the strength of survivors, their families, and advocates working to break that destructive cycle and reclaim their stolen lives.

Understand the issue in a new way by hearing the jailhouse recordings of a convicted trafficker manipulating two teen girls into selling themselves online. The tapes led to an NBC7 investigation exposing gaps in the justice system that allow people who pay to sexually assault children to face little to no consequences.

The documentary is the product of a year-long investigation that includes exclusive interviews and, for the first time ever, substantial proof of the scope of the problem in San Diego County schools. And as a global pandemic shifts the education system into a virtual space, experts warn of exploiters targeting children online, now more than ever before.

    Wow I’m so very grateful this was an excellent report. I’m constantly looking for resources to share with adolescents and parents in sex education and internet safety. I will definitely be sharing and referring to this video.

  • @1Sweetsexyflava July 1, 2024

    This should be taught in schools–how these people can victimize a person. If a child can learn this they may be able to recognize what the victimizer is doing to them. Also, young girls need to be taught to recognize what groomers do. One has to wonder what these men say or do to get girls to do this for them.

  • @doubtingdennis July 1, 2024

    Really happy you guys included the criticisms of pornography and pop culture in this. A very holistic look at the problem, well done ❤

  • @RhiannaDodd-yn8dr July 1, 2024

    May I ask why you're always charging the person prostituting because they are in a human trafficking victim

  • @cN-xv7ju July 1, 2024

    They are by no means women don’t try to pad it mr lawyer they are underage girls and both these hideous men are predators the pimp is the same deviate as the old man both disgusting 🤮

  • @pixie9499 July 1, 2024

    when those girls walked up to the producers car he really needed to have asked them their age rather than immediately shutting them down. they had the chance the help those girls & it’s like they didn’t even want to.

  • @whisperdogwalking July 1, 2024

    First of all, he’s 19 and the girls are as young as 16. .. then the reporter refers to you 16 year old as a “young woman” ..

  • @sierraraven222 July 1, 2024

    Poor child

  • @veronicawesson5772 July 1, 2024

    I don’t agree with old boy talking about music is a form of brainwashing it’s meant for entertainment and we as parents need to teach our kids exactly that it’s entertainment and you don’t worship these celebrities because they’re not living that lifestyle it starts at home it’s your fault if you’re letting the lyrics of a song raise your children quit glorifying these celebrities

  • @user-silverangels July 1, 2024

    So old man kept threatening an forcing her to stay coming to him til he had to stop forcing her to come over so he dont get in trouble n look like the bad guy wow

  • @user-silverangels July 1, 2024

    Non of this situation is fine but as scientist have determined noone is matured til after 25yrs old ron is matured he knows what he was doing was wrong, james gary is 19 hes immature still closer to kid age than adult age even thou he recommended the girls to do it i dont concidered it trafficking cuz he didnt grab a wrist an force them to have sex with this old pervert he knew they were minors even other dude knew he messed with minors. Just cuz dude has money n know to have sex with minors he gets away with whatever he wants is sick he should serve time also!!!!

  • Need better parenting. But let's not forget that these women are prostitution themselves on IG, Twitter, Only Fans and dating apps. They are leveraging their looks and pimping themselves for monetary gain and relationships.

    There is literally no difference between a street prostitute and "influencer" or "IG Model"

  • @KU-nu4vn July 1, 2024

    this man did not stop even inside jail he had no remorse. He kept doing inside jail

  • @ellajones9844 July 1, 2024

    No your client SENT the girl to posner dummy

  • @laurareeves8658 July 1, 2024

    …………Wow, there is so much that i want to vent about. …,….(thinking)….………………
    .,…….as a young girl i was taught to have self-respect, hold my head high, show confidence, have bounderies……i was taught to dress conservatively, how ti where a dress/skirt properly..along with using manners when eating, using the phone,
    Respecting authority etc …..,.
    At 61 years of age, i have lived in five states from the west coast to the east coast. I have learned about different cultures, communities, laws etc …(All while in The U.S.).
    What i am the most surprised by are these things that are legal:
    #1) Strip Clubs
    #2) Playboy & Playgirl
    #3) Pornography

    Other things as well, but until steps are taken to teach men and women to have respect for one another…..then……well….. it'll just get worse….

    Laws are NOT hard enough on Criminals of all kinds…

    am I alone in my thinking…?

  • @bigospig July 1, 2024

    People want to call prostitutes "sex workers" because it sounds like the prostitute is not victimized.

  • @All2JC2275 July 1, 2024

    Why is America allergic. To the word "SLAVERY"? It only ended on paper.

  • @ElissaBarclay July 1, 2024

    So clueless… their underage how are they even in contact with a prisoner 😮 sex trafficking from a cell 😶

  • @ACrzBrz July 1, 2024

    One of the biggest Tr4ffick1ng cases in Brazil, search on google "Arlete Hilú". She sent/sold thousands of ch1ldr3n with the help of gov agencies, cops, social workers, court house and she said she has 0 regrets when she was doing an interview with the television. #SavetheChildren

  • @CdnMommy3 July 1, 2024

    32:00 OMG the teen actually won a judgement against Posner? What a joke! They totally set this old man up. Yes he’s much older but her pimp totally manipulated the whole situation. Wow!!!

  • @CdnMommy3 July 1, 2024

    I too believed that sex trafficking involved individuals being transported in containers from one country to another, and I pride myself on being a knowledgeable mother of 3 teens. How ignorant am I…

  • @marie37881 July 1, 2024

    It's absolutely crazy that sextortion is a thing! As if we don't have enough to worry about with our children this day and age. I've read stories and watched tiktoks of parents sharing their teenagers suicide journeys…instead of suffering a small amount of embarrassment by telling their parents, they choose the permanent route as if they had no other choice! It's crazy to think that they thought there is no other option. Absolutely heartbreaking. I have had long, uncomfortable conversations with my teens about this and how serious it is….they really can't fathom that I grew up without cell phones and internet (for the most part). This is all so new to many generations. How do we handle this madness?!

  • @marie37881 July 1, 2024

    They are not underage women or young women, they are children! And don't refer to rape as "sexual assult" stop down playing, softening it, and trying to lump it into other "lesser" actions. Call it what it is, it's effing RAPE!

  • @AngelaDubs-nk9cg July 1, 2024

    Ya Un sponsored but everything in her name what is going on 😂😂😂

  • @TheRatcliffFam July 1, 2024

    I’m so glad I had a grandmother and mom that always made sure I was ok. It’s starting to sound like yall pimping your kids because there’s no way you don’t know where your child is no gps ITS THE PARENTS. They talk about R.Kelly and Diddy. A lot of parents damn near was locked up from PIMPING THEIR KIDS. 😂😂

  • @mrs.nancygancy3321 July 1, 2024

    They are not women! They’re young girls.

  • @user-gl8bk7oe1v July 1, 2024

    It's about time, been trying to find a way to help shed light on this issue for a long time. What people don't understand is that it's happening just as much in your small communities as it is happening in the cities . Just in smaller amounts

    ''It is less than a traffic ticket, in many cases''. I guess it's a trafficking ticket.

  • @jupiter.6268 July 1, 2024

    Maybe CPS IS SELLING OUR CHILDREN TO MAKE XTRA MONEY. SINCE THEY ARE NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO THEM. JUST SAYING..

  • @iharkins1 July 1, 2024

    Sickening.

  • Are all you QAnon folks having a hard time squaring this with your propaganda?

  • @fuzzypanda1684 July 1, 2024

    To everyone who's upset that they keep calling the girls "underage women", please remember that the left is currently in control of the culture, and they don't even know what a woman is. Be glad they don't call them "underage birthing people" or something.

    It's also no coincidence that it's in places that are governed by democrats, such as California, where the laws are shockingly lenient on these people, to the point that soliciting a minor is a MISDEMEANOR with very little jail time.

  • Sick bastard

  • @mariaromo2014 July 1, 2024

    It’s very hard to trust someone because that councilor /lawyer /judge /police officer/is all working together w/the trafficking ring it’s sad but true you would be very surprised & wouldn’t believe your eyes or ears please be aware of your surroundings & the people you trust .

  • @mike69er98 July 1, 2024

    Hey, scumbag lawyer, your client intentionally had those young girls he victimized and trafficked lie about their ages. Now, a 74 year old man having sex with who he thinks are 18 and 19 girls may not look good or get this guy citizen of the year but those ages are legal regardless of what anyone thinks or likes. I hate lawyers, always trying to put the blame on anyone but their client.

  • @ohioplayer-bl9em July 1, 2024

    Hunter, Joe, Adam Shifty, Nancy….
    The list is long.
