  • E62 Marvin Grimm Jr
    Jul 18 2024

    If you’re listening to this podcast, then you probably know people in prison for hurting children make up the lowest rung of the prison status hierarchy. In this case, Marvin Grimm went to prison for nearly half a century as a convicted child murderer and sex offender. He confessed to his crimes.

    But, in June 2024, the Virginia Court of Appeals issued a writ of actual innocence in his case. What?! Why did the court do that? What did Marvin confess to doing fifty years ago? What happened to the victim in this case? We discuss all of that and plenty more in this episode.

  • E59 Human Trafficking
    Jun 27 2024

    Human trafficking is defined by the U.S. State Department “as a crime whereby traffickers exploit and profit at the expense of adults or children by compelling them to perform labor or engage in commercial sex. When a person younger than 18 is used to perform a commercial sex act, it is a crime regardless of whether there is any force, fraud, or coercion involved.”

    We call it slavery.

    In this episode we talk about a federal prosecution of a North Carolina man who was convicted of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion and of a minor; sex trafficking by force fraud and coercion; sex trafficking of a minor; using the internet to promote a prostitution business enterprise (ITAR); and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

    This case is horrible. Human trafficking is horrible. We must do everything we can to #EndHumanTrafficking. You can call the National Human Trafficking Hotline for help 24/7 at 1-888-373-7888 or text 233733.
