In September 1970, the Johnson Presidential Commission on Obscenity and Pornography— mandated by Congress to recommend ways to effectively and constitutionally regulate the traffic in obscenity and pornography—issues its report.
The Commission’s majority report calls for the repeal of all local, state, and federal obscenity laws. Commissioners Father Hill, Dr. Winfrey C. Link, and Charles H. Keating strongly dissent. Father Hill and Dr. Link, a Methodist minister (with assistance from Dr. Victor B. Cline, University of Utah psychologist, attorney Paul J. McGeady, and MIM’s Evelyn Dukovic) co-author the Hill-Link Minority Report of the Presidential Commission on Obscenity and Pornography. The report famously calls the majority report “a Magna Carta for the pornographer.” The Hill-Link Minority Report exposes data omitted or concealed by the majority which clearly pointed to the devastating effects of pornography.
Patrick and Dawn transition the organization to unite political perspectives, religious and secular leaders, academics, law enforcement, medical professionals, educators, and more through the Coalition to End Sexual Exploitation (CESE). CESE Global Summits became a regular training ground for leaders and activists around the world.
Corporate responsibility advocacy moves to the next level with the Dirty Dozen List annually naming 12 mainstream contributors to sexual abuse and exploitation. This activism tool educates but also equips the public to hold companies accountable for facilitating or profiting from sexual harm and has led to transformative changes for entire industries, including retail, hospitality, technology, advertising, cable/satellite, and more.
NCOSE shifts culture to recognize the public health harms of pornography through research, public and Congressional briefings, and robust media outreach with academics. This leads to 16 States passing resolutions on the public health harms of pornography. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) told CNN that “Pornography can be connected to other public health issues like sexual violence and occupational HIV transmission.”
The NCOSE-authored resolution declaring pornography to be a public health crisis has passed in Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and Virginia.
After years of joint advocacy, Congress passes SESTA-FOSTA, removing immunity from websites who knowingly facilitate sex trafficking and giving victims a path to justice. Major online prostitution and sex trafficking platforms are taken down; Backpage.com is seized by the FBI and its executives prosecuted. The prostitution marketplace is severely weakened and it becomes harder for sex buyers to order exploited children and adults.
Responding to NCOSE’s corporate advocacy campaigns, child safety options for caregivers are finally released by popular technology platforms YouTube Instagram, Snapchat, Netflix and Amazon Prime.
The NCOSE Law Center serves as the catalyst for dozens and soon hundreds of lawsuits against mainstream profiteers of sexual abuse and exploitation. In 2020, the Law Center files the first class-action lawsuit against Pornhub, a groundbreaking lawsuit against Twitter for sex trafficking two young boys, and others.
