Marisol Nichols at 2018 San Diego Comic-Con, Author Gage Skidmore (CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported)
The TV series Law and Order: Special Victims Unit and Riverdale could hardly be more different. The first is a gritty crime drama. The second is a teen melodrama based on the Archie Comics.
The two, however, have something in common: a remarkable actress who takes part in real life FBI and other police “sting” operations targeting child predators [1].
Employing her acting skills, Marisol Nichols collaborates with law enforcement – sometimes in the role of a child, sometimes in the role of a distraught parent – to combat sex trafficking. Texts and phone calls lure child molesters to motel rooms, where they can be arrested.
Nichols was, herself, sexually assaulted at 11 years of age.
The actress has since established a non-profit called Foundation for a Slavery Free World https://www.slaveryfreeworld.org. Her non-profit produces Hollywood events to raise awareness of sex trafficking, and recognizes groups and individuals for their work in this field.
For her own work, Marisol Nichols received the President’s Distinguished Volunteer Service Award in 2017.
“The wicked flee when no one pursues, But the righteous are bold as a lion” (Prov. 28: 1).

Reblogged this on emotionalpeace.
That would take a tremendous amount of courage, especially after being victimized at such a young age.
That was my thought, too. She is an inspiration.
Now I want to know more about her. She’s doing tremendously great work.
Thanks for sharing Anna.
My pleasure, Ritish.
