     *Today's TV-14 rated episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" will focus on a new Senate bill that targets child predators, according to a release issued Friday by Harpo Productions.

      The show will detail the "extent and pervasiveness of child pornography trafficking in America," and Winfrey will ask viewers to contact their senators about U.S. Senate Bill 1738, the Protect Our Children Act, Harpo said.

      "What you are going to see is going to shock you to the core, but I'm asking you to please not turn away because this is happening in our country, to our children, in the United States every day," Winfrey said in the release.

      Oprah testified before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee in 1991 to support a national database of convicted child abusers. The "Oprah Bill" was signed into law in 1993.

      In 2005, Winfrey, who has said she was sexually abused as a child, launched the "Oprah's Child Predator Watch List" and pledged a $100,000 reward per case for information that leads to the arrest of fugitives featured on her show and Web site. Nine of the featured fugitives have been captured, Harpo said.
