The abuse she suffered began when she was six years old when she shared a bed with the daughter of a family friend.

“It would start with tickling my back and then go into things that were extremely uncomfortable,” she wrote.

“I wanted to tell my parents. I was the victim but somehow I felt in the wrong.”
