Several recent movies, Doubt starring Meryl Streep and Philip Seymore Hoffman, Gardens of the Night starring Tom Arnold, I Can Do Bad All By Myself from Tyler Perry, and Precious starring Mo'Nique, all address the subject of child sexual abuse/molestation.Child Sexual Abuse Expert and Prevention Advocate, Stephanie L. Jones, breaks the silence about child molestation within families.
Detroit,
MI –
In her bold book, The Enemy Between My
Legs, author Stephanie L. Jones tackles
the taboo subject of child sexual abuse. In what the press has called “a well-written revelation and a must-read
for every man and woman,” readers are allowed uninhibited access to the
heart and soul of a child sexual abuse survivor. Jones shares her own story of the ongoing impact of over seven years of
child molestation and how the damage done in her childhood resurfaced in
her teenage and adult life, causing promiscuity, substance abuse, and
difficulties maintaining relationships.
“It’s very challenging to tell a young person to
abstain from sex once they’ve been sexually abused. My first sexual experience
was at age five. I had been touched,
kissed, and fondled so much as a child that, by 13 years old, I didn’t want it
to stop,” says Jones.
