My childhood abuse started at age 11 and it was sexual.The sexual abuse was by a family friend of my parents.I wasn't comfortable around him at all before it happened and my parents saw it.One day my parents went out for a couple hours and dropped me off at his place.I remember watching tv with him and felt him doing my pants and unzipping them.I was a young male at the time it happened.He finally had his left hand down there and touching me there.It was very uncomfortable too and said he liked it.Finally did stop and I did zip my pants up.Pulled his pant and made me touch him down there.It was very sickening.Pulled his pants up and said don't tell my parents this happened.My parents picked me up and mom saw something was wrong.I had the confidence to tell her he touched me down there and made me touch him down there too.My mom was glad I told her and dad heard it.My dad did call the cops which I told them my story what happened.My parents were not too happy and disowned this family friend.He was arrested and found out he did it to 4 other boys too.Had enough evidence to charge him with 5 counts of child molestation.I had to testify too which was tough.During the trial,I did start seeing a therapist whom saw I had depression and PTSD.Best part was hearing the guilty verdict and the judge listened to my parents during the sentencing.Told him he took a part of my childhood and ruined his trust with them.I was glad the judge sentenced him to life in prison without parole looking at his record.Also glad this animal will not harm another child ever again

He is going to die in prison,also doing time for doing it to a couple little girls too.This came up after he started serving time for what he did.It hit my parents hard wondering why I was uncomfortable around him.
