Not On My Watch Podcast – Episode 24 - Joe Sweeney

In this episode of Not On My Watch, host and investigative journalist Liz Crokin sits down with Joe Sweeney, founder and CEO of The Asservo Project, to discuss the dark underbelly and growth of child exploitation and trafficking around the world. With decades of experience in law enforcement and national security, Joe explains how he was drawn to the mission of combating crimes against children and subsequently founded The Asservo Project.

Joe and Liz examine how predators are using social media, gaming platforms, and cryptocurrency to exploit children and what parents can do to protect their families. They also discuss how child exploitation has infiltrated every level of society, from local communities to global networks, and why stronger laws, more resources, and public awareness are essential to turning the tide.

Joe shares firsthand stories of rescue operations, the healing process for survivors, and how education and awareness are critical in breaking the cycle. His work brings hope in the fight to protect children and hold traffickers accountable. To learn more about The Asservo Project, visit theasservoproject.org.
