Episode 9: Jim’s Story—From FBI Profiler to Hollywood Creative | PART 1 of 2

Welcome to The Lionhearted, a podcast featuring stories by the brave and badass people who spend their lives fighting the one thing absolutely no one wants to talk about - child sexual abuse. How many people do you know who host a massively popular true crime podcast called Real Crime Profile, have been writing and producing for the TV show Criminal Minds for all 16 seasons and counting, formerly was an FBI profiler & an FBI agent investigating child sex crimes and child abduction cases? Well, I'm pretty sure there is only one that fits this description and his name is Jim Clemente. This episode is the first of two episodes and it takes you through Jim's childhood, his transition out of the FBI and into Hollywood as a writer and producer. Jim Clemente then details the whole spectrum of child sex offenders by getting into their mind and motivations. And thanks to his decades of studying the inner workings of child sex offenders, we can better understand the nuances and complexities in order to prevent child sexual abuse. He is an excellent storyteller and I have no doubt you will be wowed by this episode and eager to hear the next.Trigger Warning:Please note that this episode contains depictions of sexual violence that some people may find disturbing.
