I said it. I was wrong. And i apologize. Reporter heres why. Down below, pull the handle. Reporter its 2005. Donald trump pays a visit to the set of days of our lives. Hello, how are you . You know billy bush . Nice to see you. Reporter notice their audio is good, we hear everything. You see trump and billy bush were miked before they arrived. So lets roll the tape back and listen to what they said before getting out to meet actress ariana zucker. Sheesh, your girls hot as [ bleep ] in the purple. Yes, yes, the donald is good whoa my man. Youve got to look at it. Who sets this up . Okay, you are a [ bleep ]. Youve got to give the thumbs up. Ive got to use tictacs in case i start kissing her. Im automatically attracted to beautiful i just start kissing them like a magnet. I dont even wait. When youre a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the [ bleep ]. You can do anything. Yeah, those legs, all i can see is the legs. It looks good. Come on shorty. Nice legs, huh . Reporter shake hands, say hi are you ready to be a soap star . Lets get ready. How about a little hug for the donald . Absolutely. Melania said this was okay. There we go. Excellent. We dont yet know who gave the tape to the washington post. Tonight strong reaction from both sides of the aisle. You have paul ryan saying its sickening. You have john mccain saying its inappropriate. At what point do they say, enough . Reporter republican senator kelly ayotte in a statement, his comments are totally inappropriate and offensive. Democrat barbara box over twitter, beyond vile and disgusting. Mitt romney also on twitter, hitting on married women, condoning assault . Such vile degradations demean our wives and daughters and corrupt americas face to the world. This is the true donald trump. You saw him speaking candidly in private. Only ten years ago when he was married. The exultant way in which he says these offensive and almost predatory things, i think it will shock a lot of the people when they hear it. Its just i mean, it makes me sick to my stomach. Reporter Hillary Clinton tweeting, this is horrific, we cannot allow this man to become president. The story is a problem because it is offensive to a lot of different types of voters. Vote theres donald trump is going to need in just weeks. And its also the october surprise that this campaign definitely did not want. Reporter an abc News Washington post poll taken september 25th, before this video leaked, showed trump trailing clinton among female voters by 19 points. He needs moderate voters, undecided voters, female voters. Reporter mr. Trump issued a statement, this was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course, not even close. That statement does bring in bill clinton. I dont think that is really a smart strategy. But at this point, when the campaign is really in crisis levels, it seems like the only strategy they can grasp at. Reporter brandon morrows take of the san diego padres, ive been around locker room banter, those are a few of the guessi Disgusting Things ive heard a man say. Locker room banter occurs in locker rooms with 15yearolds, 25yearolds. Not 68yearold men making comments about womens looks. Donald trump apologized. We know donald trump does not like to apologize. It does seem he had somewhat of a pressure from his damn pain to respond swiftly. Reporter not enough for some. Tonight republicans, congressman jason shall have vets, governor gary herbert, both from utah, pulling their support. In trumps defense, bill oreil oreilly, antitrump forces release a private conversation where trump talks about women and sex, what happens when you run for potus. Trump has a potty mouth, seen while the senior statesman of the dem party is a serial rapist. I apologize is not a phrase the gop candidate uses often. He recently explained his poll 80 policy. I think apologizing as great thing but you have to be wrong. Reporter mr. Trump has demonstrated a potentially damaging tonal problem when it comes to speaking about women. Take his spat with megyn kelly. Youve called women you dont like fat pigs, dogs, slobs reporter when she raised his treatment of women. There was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever. Reporter at the first president ial debate mrs. Clinton raised alicia machado, a Miss Universe win where mr. Trump owned the franchise. He called this woman miss piggy. Then he called her miss housekeeping because she was latina. Donald, she has a name. Where did you find this . Her name is alicia machado. Where did you find this . She has become a u. S. Citizen and you can bet oh, really . Shes going to vote this november. Okay, good. Reporter donald trump doubled down on fox. She was the worst we ever had. She was the winner and she gained a massive amount of weight and it was a real problem. Reporter this hot mike moment on the bus you can do anything, grab them by the [ bleep ]. You can do anything. Reporter this isnt the first time weve heard trump use the p word. He used it in reference to ted cruz. She said, id never expect to hear that from you again. She said, hes a [ bleep ]. Thats terrible. Terrible. Reporter trump retweeted what he seemed to think was an unflattering photograph of cruzs wife alongside a picture of his own spouse. And on another primary opponent, carly fiorina, he allegedly told Rolling Stone look at that face, would anyone vote for that . Its a tonal issue the clinton camp has expoited. Id look her right in that fat ugly face of hers. Reporter fundraising emails highlighting these comments. I moved on her and i failed, ill admit it. I did [ bleep ]. She was married. Reporter tonight on the trail trumps veep nominee mum on the matter. How do you respond to him bragging about groping women this has been a critical stretch in his campaign, a campaign in crisis, the only thing that could turn it around is a really amazing debate performance on sunday. Reporter that debate, town hall style encounter, is sunday night. Im nick watt for nightline in los angeles. Of course you can watch the second president ial debate between donald trump and Hillary Clinton live on abc sunday night at 9 00 eastern with our very own arth may raddatz. Next we chase down the ceo of what authorities call the worlds top online brothel and confronted him over allegations of underage sex trafficking on his website. Now hes under arrest. With bipolar depression, and its tough. It leaves me feeling sad and empty. It makes it hard to be there for the people i love. So i talked to my doctor and she prescribed latuda. There are many forms of depression. Latuda is fda approved to treat bipolar depression which is different from other types of depression. In clinical studies, onceaday latuda was proven effective for many people with bipolar depression. Latuda is not for everyone. Call your doctor about unusual mood changes, behaviors, or suicidal thoughts. Antidepressants can increase these in children, teens, and young adults. Elderly dementia patients on latuda have an increased risk of death or stroke. Call your doctor about fever, stiff muscles and confusion, as these may be signs of a lifethreatening reaction, or if you have uncontrollable muscle movements, as these may be permanent. High blood sugar has been seen with latuda and medicines like it, and in extreme cases can lead to coma or death. Other risks include decreased white blood cells, which can be fatal, dizziness on standing, seizures, increased cholesterol, weight or prolactin, trouble swallowing and impaired judgment. Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice. Use caution before driving or operating machinery. Being there for the people i love means i get to be a part of lifes little moments. And that means so much to me. Ask your doctor if oncedaily latuda is right for you. Pay as little as a 15 copay. Visit latuda. Com. [ clearing throat ]w turthe new golf alltrack. K. [ upbeat music ] with 4motion allwheel drive. Soon to be. Everywhere. With another new flavor you never saw coming. Grilled, glazed korean bbq shrimp. And try as much as you want of flavors like new parmesan peppercorn shrimp. Just come in before it ends. With this level of engineering. Its a performance machine. With this degree of intelligence. Its a supercomputer. With this grade of protection. Its a fortress. And with this standard of luxury. Its an oasis. Introducing the completely redesigned eclass. Its everything you need it to be. And more. Mercedesbenz. The best or nothing. I would support legislation in pennsylvania that would ban abortion and i would suggest we have penalties for doctors who perform them. Would you put people in jail for performing abortions . At some point doctors performing abortions i think would be subject to that sort of penalty. Dscc is responsible for the content of this advertising. With its racy online listings, the website backpage. Com has long been targeted by loft as a hub for prostitution bookings. The ceo of the site has been, up to now, untouchable. When nightline confronted him months ago he argued his business is protected by the first amendment. But tonight a groundbreaking arrest. Heres abcs Gloria Riviera. Reporter today, karl f ferrare, ceo of backpage. Com, the man behind what authorities are calling the worlds top online brothel, facing criminal charges for the very first time. It is incredibly unique. There are thousands of children who will not be sold, to be raped by adults off of that website. Reporter similar to craigslist, backpage is a classified ad site. But with racy adult sections. Like escorts, body rubs. Technically Legal Services that Law Enforcement has called thinly veiled code for prostitution. The majority of children sold for sex in the United States today was trafficked using backpage. Reporter now ferraras charged with multiple counts of pimping a minor and conspiracy. The moment that tom has been waiting for. Hes just as accountable as the pimp that sold her, in my mind. Reporter this is toms daughter, well call her natalie, when she was in seventh grade. When i grow up id like to be a doctor. Reporter they are the sweet dreams of a seventh grade girl. But what lay ahead was a nightmare her parents never saw coming. It took everything from that little girl. I live in an american town, how can my kid be sold on the internet . Reporter a few short years after this video was taken, the 15yearold, who well call natalie, would be sold for sex. How many encounters do you think you had during that time . Over 150. Over 150 . Yeah. Would that have been possible without backpage . No way. This valuing ga led natalie to join a major lawsuit against backpage with other girls like her. Today, natalie is 21 years old and a mother herself. Why your decision to speak publicly . I dont just do it for myself. I do it for other families. Reporter this is one of the last photos taken of natalie before she made the choice that would change her life forever. She ran away from home. A pimp picked us up and took us to his house. And then thats when i got raped for the first time. You were a virgin . Yeah. Reporter this first traumatic encounter sent natalie down a dark path that eventually led to this man, 32yearold berudi hobson. She says he was kind, offered her a place to stay. But soon the dynamic dangerously changed. Hed ask me if i had ever worked before. Then he told me that i wouldnt be on the streets. Thats when backpage came into play. Reporter through ads titled well worth it, 150 an hour, it wont take long at all, natalie started earning 4,000 a weekend for sex, handing over all the cash to hobson. How often did you work this. Every single day. It tore our family apart. Reporter natalies father tom would spend his days driving around seattle, searching desperately for his missing girl. Day after day, yeah. Reporter later, natalies parents found out she wasnt even on the streets, but being sold online. Youre thinking, okay, how many of these is she having to answer . How many times a day is my child being raped . Reporter backpage, based in dallas, says they voluntarily put in place a multitiered system for screening ads employing moderators, a filter for key words, a userreported flagging system. 2012 their attorney told nightline online Child Exploitation exists and the best tools to fight it are also online. And backpage. Com is currently one of the very best cools to fight it. Age 18 reporter seattles Police Department vice squad tells us they find underage girls listed on backpage all the time, including natalie. Who they rescued in a hotel sting set up through her backpage ad 108 days after she went missing. He says, i know who you are, natalie. Instantly i saw storms of cops outside. I remember meeting detective buy buyer. Reporter detective guyer formed a special bond with natalie. Hobson, sentenced to 26 years for promoting the commercial sex abuse of a minor. Today detective guyer is still on a mission with seattle vice squad. Theyve agreed to take us inside a backpage sting. Were here so see what happens when you post a backage ad that suggests an underage girl is involved. The detective creates an ad for an 18yearold named angel adding the mention ofguyounger friend. You can figure out what they want as far as that goes [ phone ringing ] weve gotten calls nexts, theyre really coming in. Reporter earlier this year, nightlines quest to find the ceo behind all these ads took us to amsterdam where ferrara seemed to be running other escort sites here, ooun eerily similar to backpage called cracker. Ferrara has turned down our interview requests so we came here, we found theres a conference hes scheduled to attend. Karl ferrara is an active member of the classified ad industry. He attends a networking conference every year. It dent take long before we spot him. Karl ferrara . Hi, weve been looking for you. Do you have a second . Im Gloria Riviera with abc news. Yeah . We want to ask a few questions. Oh, im Law Enforcement tells us that underage girls are trafficked on backpage. Com, your company. No comment. We saw a reallife example of this last week im sorry. Youre a father what would you want to say to him . He wants to know why this is going on. Please initially when he saw us he said hello, how are you . As soon as we brought up Law Enforcement and the underage trafficking of young girls, he said he didnt want to talk to us. But now hes facing even tougher questions. The california investigation found that backpage committed a crime by earning revenue from prostitution. And soliciting clients. And because of his alleged role, ferrara faces up to 22 years behind bars. His defense Attorney Says hes looking forward to his day in court. Mr. Ferrara looks forward to vigorously fighting these charges we believe are trumped up. Reporter tonight backpage attorney Liz Macdougal sent nightline a statement saying prostitution ads violate backpage. Coms policies and backpage. Com removes ads when contacted by Law Enforcement. For at least one young woman and her family, today brought gratitude and they say for the first time peace, after so much pain. Theres a lot im looking forward to. Our thanks to Gloria Riviera. Up next the latest updates on hurricane matthew. And the path of destruction. Im claudine and i quit smoking with chantix. By the time i was 30, i said thats it, im a smoker for life. I wanted to be a nonsmoker and i did it thanks to chantix. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. Chantix reduced my urge to smoke some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. Some had seizures while taking chantix. If you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be lifethreatening. Tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Most common side effect is nausea. This is for real. Im a nonsmoker. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. Why does your tummy go grumbily, grumbily, grumbily . No more questions for you ooph, that milk in your cereal was messing with you, wasnt it . Try lactaid, its real milk, without that annoying lactose. Good, right . Mmm, yeah. Lactaid.

That means good schools for every child in every zip code. College that leads to opportunities. Not debt. And an economy where every Young American can find a job that lets them start a family of their own. We face big challenges, but we can solve them the same way families do. Working together. Respecting one another. And never giving up
