Outkast Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 he tells how he was sexually molested by his step-father when he was a ten year old.
smokinandjokin Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Oprah said, "I know how you feel. A store in Paris wouldn't let me in to shop after they had already locked up for the night. We all go through these things, Laverneus. Stay strong. I turned out alright."
billsfanone Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 I heard about that. I'm glad he has the courage to speak out and I feel for him.

She's devoting a lot of resources to fight child sexual abuse. I.e. she highlighted two of the most wanted abusers who moved and didn't register with their new town; they were booked w/in 24 hours. Nice that she's doing it, b/c lord knows the states (ahem Florida ahem) can't be bothered to. As for LC, it takes some guts to stand up and speak and encourage others to do the same to protect others from being victims. Part of the big problem is that these things are never reported, so it's a societal issue that's swept under the rug.
CajunBillsBacker Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Glad someone confirmed it. I was flipping through the channels today and see him, and my first thought was "that guy looks like Leverneous Coles" but didn't stop and listen because that show sucks.
