Testimony given at the hearings on the sexual exploitation of children from May to September 1977.

The 1977 testimony of Ken Wooden at the House hearings on the sexual exploitation of children is as heartbreaking and enraging today as it was 49 years ago.  Wooden was an author, investigative reporter for 60 Minutes and Director of the National Coalition of Children’s Justice.

Mr. Wooden called out the FBI for its inaction and lack of responsibility in addressing child exploitation.  Times and federal laws have since changed in this regard.  He did not mince words about FBI and societal failures back in the day.

He told lawmakers:  “I am afraid we are recycling a scandal and until we really get tough and until we go after those exploiting children and until the Congress makes children the priority, I am positive we will have another hearing on this 10 or 20 years hence.”  Or 49 years hence, right Pam Bondi/Todd Blanche?
