A New Form of Human Trafficking Is Happening in Clubs | Have a Seat with Chris Hansen

Jayden Posen joins investigative journalist Chris Hansen on Have a Seat with Chris Hansen to discuss her experiences as a survivor and the patterns of exploitation she has encountered within nightlife. The conversation examines predatory behaviour in nightlife spaces, concerns around individuals with known histories or warning signs continuing to gain access to those environments, and the failures that can occur when venues, staff and bystanders do not intervene. Jayden discusses the broader culture that can allow predatory behaviour to continue unchecked. The episode also explores grooming, recruitment through social media and nightlife networks, and the overlap between exploitation, misogynistic subcultures and unsafe venue environments. Jayden also shares her own experiences with sexual violence, systemic failures in venue and institutional responses, and how those experiences ultimately led her toward survivor advocacy, public education and efforts to improve accountability and safety within nightlife spaces.
