Episode 5: The Heidi Olson Story

Pornography use among children is a growing concern for medical professionals – particularly for Heidi Olson, a sexual assault nurse examiner. After caring for over 1,500 pediatric sexual assault patients, Heidi realized a disturbing trend. Time and time again, the sexual assault victims she was caring for had been assaulted by other children and pornography was the common denominator. To combat this public health crisis, Heidi created resources and her own consulting business to raise awareness about this issue and help other medical professionals screen for porn use during forensic exams. Despite pushback, she continues in her work to help protect children from the dangers of pornography.
