00:01 In the early '90s, Nickelodeon was kid everything.

00:05 And you better hope that your house had cable.

00:08 Wasn't there to educate you.

00:10 We were there to have fun, to get slimed, to be entertained.

00:13 [CHEERING]

00:16 And this is when Dan Schneider arrives, Nickelodeon's

00:19 golden boy.

00:20 He created these shows that were hugely successful for them.

00:23 No one had ever really done sketch comedy

00:25 starring kids for kids.

00:27 He launched the careers of child actors

00:29 who became major stars.

00:31 For 20 years, he shaped children's

00:34 entertainment and culture.

00:36 Hey, how you doing?

00:37 Thank you for being here.

00:38 But that marked one of the darkest chapters.

00:40 Working for Dan was like being in an abusive relationship.

00:51 Dan's treatment of people on his shows was an open secret.

00:55 So my lawyer filed complaints, gender discrimination.

00:59 Hostile work environment, harassment.

01:01 And it was so devastating.

01:03 How safe can any kids be in that environment?

01:06 There would be even bigger problems down the line

01:09 with actual pedophiles on set.

01:13 These are three predators who worked at Nickelodeon,

01:16 all in a short amount of time.

01:17 [WATER SPLASHING]

01:18 All right, guys.

01:19 We're ready for you.

01:20 It was a toxic environment.

01:22 It made me trust people less.

01:25 We were there for so many hours.

01:27 You get comfortable with people until you're not.

01:31 I had no idea what I was saving my son from.

01:35 It's a house of horrors.

01:36 They find this enormous trove of child pornography.

01:41 The officer said, we found Ziploc bags, each one

01:45 with a girl's name on it.

01:48 11 charges of child sexual abuse related to a child actor.

01:54 It made me wonder who was being hurt.

01:59 I've been waiting 17 years for today.

02:02 It wasn't dealing with anybody on the shows or anything,

02:07 right?

02:08 It was a child actor.

02:10 On one of our shows?

02:12 Yes.

02:14 Have you ever told your story publicly before?
