We interviewed Jacob after his arrest for downloading child sexual abuse images

In our new documentary, Raised on Porn, we interviewed Jacob, a firefighter whose childhood addiction to porn led to him becoming hooked on child sexual abuse material (commonly referred to as “child porn”).

Authorities found over 9000 photos and videos of it on his computer.

So how did he get to that point?

Jacob shared, “When I was about 11 or 12 years old, I found some porn magazines... As the internet came and we got our first computer, I would sneak in there when nobody was looking and keep on looking at porn. 

"After a while, the stuff that worked before didn’t work as well... you build up a tolerance. So, it would get more edgier and edgier. Stuff that I wouldn’t imagine ever looking at... by some accident, I found illegal pornography. Child porn. 

"It was as easy as getting the regular stuff. I guess my curiosity got to me and I couldn’t believe it could be this easy, so, I downloaded it. And I saw it, and I got the rush. It worked like nothing else did anymore. 

"I was a firefighter and I was coming back home from work... all of a sudden I had blue lights going behind me... pulled me out of my truck, handcuffed me, and put me in the back of a car.”
 

If Jacob hadn’t been exposed to porn as a child, it’s likely he would’ve never ended up addicted to child sexual abuse material—this landed him in prison for nearly five years.

His story illustrates just one of many dark paths pornography can take a child down. 

Watch Raised on Porn to hear more of Jacob’s story, and from others whose lives were upended by childhood exposure to so-called “adult” content.
 

We’ve received a flood of messages telling us this film is eye-opening and a must-watch for everyone. 

We believe it will be instrumental in awakening our society to the dangers children are facing and will pave the way for millions of children to be protected.
