#139. Ehren Dorsey: The Psychological Tactics Of Sexual Predators Online

How do predators find victims online? How does sex trafficking work? What is online grooming? 

Ehren Dorsey is a survivor of sex trafficking, ex-supermodel, and the founder of Red Circle Project- a Stop Trafficking Project to educate the public about the insidious nature of online grooming and how to protect our children from predatory acts. 

Ehren was groomed by an online predator from age 13 to 16 using psychological tactics of online grooming and porn desensitization, was sex trafficked, then became an internationally famed supermodel at age 19 after working with the FBI to arrest the first predator. Her story, however, begins there, as she became more lost in fame and unaddressed accumulative trauma. 

In 2022, Ehren helped testify in the Missouri Senate hearing to pass the Protect Young Minds Online Act, to protect children from porn and online grooming tactics that she fell prey to 20 years ago. Today, you can find Ehren working full-time with other Stop Trafficking partners in an attempt to change the predatory landscape. 

Expect to learn about common predatory tactics, how sexual predators find victims online, healthy individuation process and emotional development, how to rebuild emotional intimacy, how to protect your children online, and much more.
