Ashton Kutcher Gave Emotional Senate Testimony on Child Trafficking

Ashton Kutcher isn't just an actor, he's an activist and the co-founder of Thorn,  a group that uses technology to fight the sexual exploitation of  children. Kutcher recently headlined a Senate hearing about modern  slavery, saying all people should have the "right to pursue happiness."

In a highly emotional testimony, Kutcher's voice shook as  he described the frustration of being unable to assist the Department of  Homeland Security locate a girl who was shown being raped on the dark  Web. “It devastated me,” he said, “because every night, I had to go to  sleep every night and think about that little girl who was still being  abused, and the fact that if I built the right thing, we could save her.  So that’s what we did."

Kutcher assured all that he takes his work seriously, despite the  naysayers. “This is the part where Internet trolls start telling me to  stick to my day job,” he said. Outside of being a father of two, he  added that considers his role at Thorn to be his real calling.
