I've been handling a lot of our juvenile caseload down here. And back in the 90s, I was an assistant DA in juvenile court. Now as a judge overseeing it, I cannot believe the volume of sexual assaults happening among juveniles. We have changed things in this society. When I was younger, I never saw pornography. It just wasn't accessible to me. There was no way I could even get my hands on it. (31:08–31:14)
