Ex-ESPN Host Reveals She Is A Child Sex Abuse Survivor
On June - 26 - 2012
Former ESPN personality Dana Jacobson has spoken out about a personal experience with child abuse. Drawing strength from the testimony of the witnesses in the Jerry Sandusky abuse case, Jacobson shared her story of being violated by a male babysitter on her blog this morning:
“Like the young men who bravely took the stand in the Sandusky trial, I was molested as a child. That’s still not easy for me to say, let alone write and share publicly, but if we’ve learned anything from the Sandusky scandal it’s that the time for silence is over. As I heard one Sandusky victim put it, it’s time to “find my voice.”
