Tim Tebow Testifies On Child Sex Abuse Crisis On Capitol Hill In D.C.

Tim Tebow spent Wednesday morning fighting for victims of child sex abuse … taking on the global epidemic while delivering an impassioned and emotional speech in front of the House Judiciary Subcommittee.

The 36-year-old Heisman Trophy winner, who heads the Tim Tebow Foundation, was part of a larger panel at the “Voice for the Voiceless” hearing … and opened up his statement with a quick description of his organization, followed by an ice-breaking joke about his sports career.

“[The Tim Tebow Foundation] exists to bring faith, hope and love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need. To sum it up, we strive to fight for people who can’t fight for themselves,” Tim told the subcommittee members.

“Some of you may know me from sports. but honestly, more of you probably know me from getting cut from a bunch of sports teams,” Tebow joked.

But, things quickly got serious as the 2x National Championship-winning quarterback passionately spoke about the global epidemic — the tens of thousands of unidentified children who are the victims of sexual abuse — while calling on lawmakers to pass a bill intended to put together a rescue team for the kids.

“This bill really has one goal. To build a rescue team, because there’s so many front-line warriors and heroes, but there’s just not enough. And we need to support them, and we need more of them, to get to these 50,000 boys and girls.”

Tebow continued, explaining the goal of the bill is to build a “rescue team” that is of adequate size as far as manpower, as well as the training and technology to help.

The most emotional part of the speech came when Tim read a letter written by a young girl while she was being held captive, raped nearly nightly for 7 years, where she begged for help.

As you’d expect, Tebow had trouble keeping it together while reading the excerpt.

TT was eager to provide his testimony … as he explained Wednesday morning shortly after reaching Capitol Hill.

“So grateful for the chance to testify this morning before the House Judiciary Committee, meet, and talk with representatives on both sides of the aisle on behalf of some of the most vulnerable people — children who are victims of sexual abuse and exploitation,” the signal caller wrote on X.
