Rebecca's story speaks volumes. (trigger warning)

Trigger Warning: This email tells a tragic story of child sexual abuse.

Believe it or not, there are people out there who think it’s harmless for kids to look at porn. But the link between porn use and harmful sexual behavior among children is well documented in research.

At Exodus Cry, we’ve received hundreds of stories from those damaged by underage exposure to porn, and we noticed a recurring theme: girls are being pressured, even forced, to re-enact porn scenes.

Yes, kids are raping other kids because of what they see in porn.

We feel it’s important to share some of these stories because they spotlight what millions of children are facing as a result of widespread exposure to porn.

We share these stories to elevate the voices of the survivors, draw attention to the root causes of sexual abuse/assault, and mobilize a movement of people demanding required age verification on porn sites.

Below is just one story we received, among far too many.

Rebecca's Story: "When I was in middle school, I had a boyfriend that was mentally, verbally, emotionally, and physically abusive. He had a serious porn addiction. He had asked me for months to have sex with him, and I always said no. He would always tell me I don’t look or act like the porn stars he watches.

“He would send me videos he downloaded off Pornhub and tell me if I don’t act like them and do exactly what they were doing, he would kill me. I was too scared to seek help, so this went on for months. It was terrifying.

“He gave me an ultimatum: have sex with me by your birthday or kill yourself. I tried to kill myself and failed. He then knocked me unconscious and proceeded to rape me. When I asked him why he did what he did, he told me it was just a kink he caught while watching porn. He said, 'it’s just BDSM, look it up, girls love to get raped and threatened with death.'”

As tragic as Rebecca’s story is, we know that this movement to protect children can change the story for millions of kids if enough of us come together to demand it.
