As Congress investigates how to crack down on internet predators, an amazing story unfolded at a hearing on Capitol Hill Tuesday about a 13-year-old California boy who unwittingly became a porn star, and later, a federal witness in fear of his life.
Justin Berry was an honor student, class president, and a typical teenager looking for friends online. But he found the wrong kind of friends, and ended up enduring years of abuse before finally getting help - and getting his life back.
When 13-year-old Justin Berry hooked up his new webcam, he was hoping to use one of the popular social sites to connect with other teens. Instead, he was contacted by 1,500 online predators - doctors, lawyers, businessmen, and even teachers, who slowly seduced Justin into their world.
