Why He Did What He Did: Life Trauma Led to Danger. At just 12 years old, Nate was sexually abused by someone his family knew. "I didn't even know what sex was at that time," he recalls. "I hadn't had the talk with my parents, and sex education wasn't even a thing in my school yet." Like many survivors, he was manipulated into silence. "The attacker told me it was normal, and he threatened me, told me not to tell anyone. So, I didn’t."

He shares the story on this episode of the "Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast", which is available on their website for free in addition to Apple Podcasts and Spotify, as well as through other podcast platforms.

"I kept it buried for so long, but it affected everything, my choices, my safety, my entire world." These are the words of Nate Lewis, our guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast.

The Hidden Trauma of Childhood Abuse, Why He Did What He Did: Life Trauma Led to Danger.

For over two decades, Nate carried this secret, the trauma festering in silence. It wasn’t until his life started to spiral out of control that he finally told his mother. "I thought I had it under control, but in reality, it was controlling me. My relationships, my career, my choices, everything was affected."

The Tragic Reality of Child Sexual Abuse

The statistics are staggering. More than 550,000 children are known to U.S. authorities as abuse victims. In 2022 alone, an estimated 558,899 unique cases of child abuse and neglect were reported. Child welfare agencies investigate over 7.5 million children annually, with nearly 3 million cases warranting further action. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets.

Child victims often remain silent for years, or even lifetimes, due to fear, shame, and the manipulation of their abusers. "Most abusers aren’t strangers," Nate explains. "Over 90% of victims know their perpetrators. It’s why so many children don’t speak up, they’re afraid, confused, and often still care about the person hurting them."

The Dangerous Path of a Survivor, Why He Did What He Did: Life Trauma Led to Danger.

Nate’s silence led to self-destructive behaviors. "I drank excessively. I put myself in dangerous situations because I didn’t care what happened to me." One of those moments nearly cost him his life.

"I was abducted at gunpoint during a gang initiation in Los Angeles," he recounts. "At that moment, I realized I had made myself an easy target." Trauma had led him there, to the brink of death.

His ability to escape that life-threatening encounter changed everything. "It woke me up. I knew I had to take control of my life, face my past, and use my experiences to help others."

From Survivor to Advocate, Why He Did What He Did: Life Trauma Led to Danger.

Today, Nate Lewis is the Founder of The Innocent, a nonprofit dedicated to combating child sex trafficking, exploitation, and sexual assault in the U.S. His extensive work with law enforcement and global anti-trafficking organizations has made him a powerful advocate for change. It is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. 

"Survivors don’t have to be defined by their past," Nate emphasizes. "Yes, trauma changes you, but it doesn’t have to destroy you. It can shape you into someone stronger, someone who fights back."

The Innocent team includes active-duty officers specializing in online investigations, surveillance, and undercover operations. "We provide law enforcement with cutting-edge training, technology, and operational support," Nate shares. "Our goal is to increase arrests, improve conviction rates, and ultimately, save lives." 

Breaking the Silence, Why He Did What He Did: Life Trauma Led to Danger.

Nate’s story is a powerful reminder of the lasting effects of childhood trauma. "What happened to me led to years of self-destruction, but it also led me here, to fighting for justice, for prevention, for healing." 

By sharing his story on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Facebook, and Instagram, Nate hopes to reach others who are still suffering in silence. "If I can help even one person break free from their past, then it’s all worth it."

If you or someone you know is a survivor of child sexual abuse, there is help. You are not alone.

You can help contribute money to make the Gunrunner Movie. The film that Hollywood won't touch. It is about a now Retired Police Officer that was shot 6 times while investigating Gunrunning. He died 3 times during Medical treatment and was resuscitated. You can join the fight by giving a monetary "gift" to help ensure the making of his film at agunrunnerfilm.com.
