In a shocking video, American film actor and producer John Paul Rice sent an alarming message about child sex trafficking in Hollywood and urged viewers to take action to end violations which, according to him, are not accidental in the entertainment industry.
In his 39-minute Instagram live video about a week ago, Paul Rice revealed that Amazon.com has removed his film "A Child's Voice" even though it has been on the website for a year and a half. The independent producer explained that Amazon's response was a typical one that didn't address the content of the film, and rather cited "constant changes on the platform."
The 2018 feature film addresses human trafficking, particularly incidents targeting children and teenagers.
According to Paul Rice, his movie highlighted global pedophile networks that "sell kids back and forth to each other, trading them like candy, and it goes right through Hollywood." He also refers to a Dailybeast article that exposes the relationship between disgraced moguls Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein in terms of sex trafficking, from which the stories of his film "A Child's Voice" have been derived.
Paul Rice asked his followers to help him find alternative platforms to release the movie and "have it watched by as many people as possible" in order for the message to get across to the public.
He linked the removal of the film to the files that are emerging out of the Ghislaine Maxwell case, which he says is continuously facing challenges; as several powerful sides try to cover up details from the media, especially as it involves Prince Andrew from the UK.
Maxwell was the long-life confidant and close friends of US businessman Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted with sex offenses in 2019, before being killed in prison in what was later identified as a widely controversial suicide.

I have said this a long time. I was one of those children. No one cared. I tried to get help. But kids have no rights. No voice. Apparently we make up stories this horrific for fun...we don't. All of this has drudged up deep emotions in me. Depression is real.

The producer also stresses that his message should matter to everyone regardless of their political affiliation or preferences.
Reacting to the video, social media users started tweeting using the hashtag #SaveTheChildren, expressing their support for him, and for his message to protect children in the entertainment industry.
Amen! Imagine seeing "Expose Hollywood Sex Trafficking" billboards everywhere to the point they start showing up in Hollywood.

Some commentators also voiced out their fear that John Paul Rice's life might be in danger; especially as suspicion continues over Episten's death last August being a homicide to bury secrets of some of the US most powerful politicians and celebrities. The latter was pronounced dead after reportedly hanging himself while being under suicide watch.
