Country music star John Rich joined Roger Stone on this week’s episode of his WABC radio program, The Roger Stone Show, and broke down how existing American laws that are already on the books can be used to stop the grooming of children.
John Rich joined Roger Stone for an interview in which he opened up about his departure from the entertainment/music industry – an industry that Rich says has completely turned against America and American values. He also spoke out against the grooming of children and the peddling of photographic material in schools, explaining how laws that are already on the books can be used to protect kids and hold groomers accountable.
Rich, who lives in Tennessee, and was born and raised in Texas, told Stone that he became aware of the sexually-charged “filth” being promoted to children in their schools roughly two or three years ago.

“I thought to myself, well this has to be illegal,” Rich recounted.
“If an adult was sitting in a city park and had a bunch of little kids sitting there and was showing them pornographic pictures and reading them pornographic stories, what would happen to that adult? They would be handcuffed, dragged off to jail, probably put on the child predator list,” said Rich.
“They would have a serious problem on their hands. But they’re able to do it inside the walls of a school because they term it as education,” he added, before explaining how existing federal laws can be used to get groomers and perverts under control.
“We have a federal statute, it’s in section 24:22 of the United States Criminal Code, it’s called a federal indictment statute and it targets the sexual grooming of minors,” said Rich.
“The statute’s focus is on the intended effect on the minor rather than the defendant’s intent to actually engage in sex. Meaning, just the intended effect of it, and they refer to it as grooming, by the way,” Rich went on.
“That is a federal law right now on the books in the United States. So if you want to look at it from that perspective, federal law is being broken all over the United States.”
“The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals said that child sexual abuse can be accomplished by several means and is often carried out through a period of grooming. That is their word,” Rich continued.
“Grooming refers to deliberate actions taken by a defendant to expose a child to sexual material and that the ultimate goal of the grooming is to reduce the child’s inhibitions.”
“The FCC says if I took one of those books that we’re talking about in these schools right now and I read it on the radio if I read it on Roger Stone’s show right now, the FCC would kick us off the air,” Rich pointed out.
“They would fine the station. No telling what they’d do.”
“If I took those same books and showed the pictures on a television network, on a mainstream television network, the same thing would happen.”
But in a public school, NOTHING would happen. In fact, Rich would most likely be applauded and protected by the school board for doing just that.

Rich took this information to the Tennessee State Legislature, delivering a speech in defense of children and helping lawmakers come up with state legislation to protect kids.
But the Tennessee “RINOs,” led by Governor Bill Lee, voted it down.
But while Tennessee has failed to act, other states have seen Rich’s message and taken action.
In Texas, after parental activists brought Rich’s research and the related legislation to the attention of the state’s Attorney General and lawmakers, that state did what Tennessee failed to do, and passed the child protection bill before signing it into law.
The John Rich-inspired legislation has also been passed by the House and Senate of Louisiana and is awaiting the Governor’s signature there.
Lawmakers and activists in Tennessee say that they are pushing that state’s RINO overlords to reconsider the bill and get it right.
