At the 2022 CESE Summit, Haley McNamara sits down with German abolitionist and writer Elly Arrow for a powerful conversation about the reality of legalized prostitution in Germany. Elly shares on-the-ground insights into how the legal system has expanded the sex trade, obscured trafficking, and failed those it claims to protect. Together, they unpack the violence and exploitation faced by women in the system, the role of sex buyers, and why Elly believes real justice starts with tackling male demand. As the voice behind The Invisible Men – Germany, Elly brings data, quotes, and unflinching analysis that reveal the truth behind the headlines. This is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand what "legalization" really means for human dignity and safety.

Haley McNamara (SVP at NCOSE) and Dani Pinter (SVP and Director of the Law Center at NCOSE) take a closer look at the impact that pornography use has on our sexual arousal template. More specifically, they discuss some studies that have been done to demonstrate the rise in violent sexual behavior like choking or strangulation. These experiments were able to condition men to be aroused by shapes and inanimate objects, and it demonstrates that when a person is exposed to pornography, they can be conditioned to be aroused by the harmful behaviors that are depicted.

Dani Pinter (Senior Vice President at the NCOSE Law Center) and Haley McNamara (Senior Vice President at NCOSE) react to the latest update to Grok which include chatbot avatars that can act as your companion – even as a romantic connection. “Ani” is depicted as a very young anime girl who is programmed to be “crazy in love” with the user and can have progressively more sexually explicit interactions as the user advances through the conversation. This even includes getting the bot to describe itself as a young child or to play along with sexual fantasies with a child-like motif. All of this is available before activating “spicy mode.” This is obviously quite disturbing for a number of reasons, but even more upsetting is the access that kids have to this tool with no meaningful age verification in place to protect minors. Also, the Apple App Store has assigned this app as appropriate for ages 12 and up.

Our subject matter experts and hosts, Haley McNamara (SVP at NCOSE) and Dani Pinter (SVP at the NCOSE Law Center), provide insights and reactions to the recent verdict results from the Diddy trial as well as the memo about the Epstein file that was release by the Department of Justice. Both of these outcomes leave us with a lot of frustration and very few answers. The lack of understanding of sex trafficking in our culture was reflected in the jury’s decision in the Diddy trial. Also, the efforts to hide the findings in the Epstein file are on full display as people on all sides of the political spectrum demand answers. Haley and Dani give us a detailed and insightful look into these developments.
