Why John School Doesn't Work — A Radical New Approach to Stopping Sex Buying
In this powerful episode of the Trafficking Free America podcast, we dive deep into the controversial topic of "John School"—a court-mandated educational program for men caught purchasing sex. Our panel discusses why the traditional approach falls short and introduces an innovative alternative: John University, a trauma-informed, addiction recovery-based solution designed to address the root causes of sex buying. We explore the science of sex addiction, brain scans of porn addicts, and the stories of recovery that show true change is possible. This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about ending sexual exploitation and finding real solutions for human trafficking prevention.
