Dana Jacobsen on CNN Talks About Her Childhood Abuse

Yesterday, former ESPN First Take co-host Dana Jacobsen revealed on her blog that she had been molested by her babysitter when she was a child. It took a lot of courage to speak out and make that public. Dana said it was the interview of one of Jerry Sandusky’s victims that inspired her to come forward. And reading Dana’s journey of those horrific ordeals to her road to recovery is truly inspirational.

After publishing her post, the reaction to Dana’s revelation was very positive. And she went on CNN’s Out Front with Erin Burnett to talk about why she decided to come forward now and what she went through. A very good interview and I hope it inspires other child molestation victims to be able to speak and know that they are not alone.

More stuff is coming up.
