Craig aims to blow the cover of these operations, with his organization Vets for Child Rescue (V4CR) that he formed after his own daughter fell victim to a serial rapist.

His newly released documentary, Contraland, serves as a public showing of just how vast and rampant the problem really is. We urge you to watch the film and educate yourself on the signs and warnings of trafficking and baiting (link below). V4CR and Craig have many tools that you as parents can use to help keep your family and communities safe.

This week’s guest on The David Johnson Show is Navy SEAL veteran, Craig Sawyer, aka ‘Sawman’, who has transitioned from his Navy SEAL and counter-terrorism military career into working in television, the Internet, humanitarian non-profit work and mentoring young veterans on their post-military lives.

In the episode, Craig shares his story of how he started initially with the Marines but moved into the Navy SEALs in his early 20s. Craig served in the Gulf War (1990-1991), gaining combat experience in Desert Shield and Desert Storm as an Operator at SEAL Team One.

He was later promoted to the Naval Special Warfare Development Group or 'SEAL Team 6', a Counter-Terrorism unit administered by US Naval Special Warfare Command.

In the early 2000s Craig transitioned to a new role with the U.S. Air Marshal program and spent most of the ‘00s in Air Marshal service.

His military operations skills helped him get chosen to lead a military commando team in Africa to halt rhino poachers. This started his work in TV production, movies, acting, voiceover work and more in the past decade on networks like Animal Planet, the Military Channel and The History Channel.

In recent years, Craig’s humanitarian efforts have manifested in his work to combat child trafficking through his non-profit Vets 4 Child Rescue.

“Craig’s background is so amazing, it should really give hope to other military vets looking to make a mark after military service ends,” said David Johnson, host of “The David Johnson Show”. “Craig said to me recently, "I'm in my 50s and I'm just now finding the real passion in my life." That in and of itself is a powerful story. To be in the 50s, with everything he’s done, to see him writing a new chapter is very inspiring. I hope our viewers feel the same.”

Why Craig "Sawman" Sawyer founded Veterans for Child Rescue

A furor has intensified on social media over a secluded spot off I-19 that some believe could be an abandoned camp used for human trafficking.

Tips and must-know information to safeguard children and communities.

Human Trafficking is a global crisis taking place in plain sight. The statistics are staggering and hard to fathom, but necessary if we're going to get a handle on this problem.  

The crime involves the victims, sex traffickers and clients willing to pay for the trafficked person.   

The unthinkable happens to hundreds of thousands of children daily -- young victims exploited in their own communities, including right here in Southern Arizona.

Law enforcement has tried to turn the tide on child sex trafficking -- yet it remains prevalent.

Now a documentary is being made about the lost children and the mission of a former Navy Seal -- who lives in Pima County -- to free them from sex slavery.
