Stephanie, a highly sought after speaker, sexual abuse advocate, and author of The Enemy Between My Legs, is known to be one of the most influential and compelling speakers to ever address the subject of child sexual abuse.
"It's very difficult to tell a young person not to have sex once they've been sexually abused. No one could tell me not to. My first sexual experience was at age five. I had been touched, kissed, and fondled so much as a child that by age of 13, I didn't want it to stop," says Jones.
Jones is not alone! According to several national organizations:
- One in 3 females and 1 in 5 males are sexually abused by age 16.
- 66% of teen pregnancies and abortions are preceded by sexual assault.
- 96% of prostitutes were sexual abuse victims.
- 75% of rapists were sexual abuse victims.
- 60% of children who experience abuse and neglect are more likely to be arrested.
- Sexual abuse victims often suffer self-esteem, financial and health problems.
"Sexual abuse is a taboo subject. No one wants to talk about it," says Jones. "When it is discussed people tend to reference internet predators, neighborhood pedophiles and strangers lurking in the park. But most sexual abuse takes place right in our homes between fathers, daughters, mothers, siblings, uncles, aunts, and other family members. We need to address what's happening in our very own families and how it's affecting people's lives!"
Don't miss it! Be sure to tune in to this very candid interview with Rev. Al Shaprton and Stephanie L. Jones on Tuesday, April 8, 2008 at 2:00 p.m.!!!
"A well written revelation and a must read for every man and woman!"
