I Was Sexually Abused When I Was Seven! 
When I was seven and my sister was about nine, my stepfather had this friend that would always come over to our house. I remember trusting him because he was older.

One day, he had asked me and my sister if we wanted to go on rides (like piggy-back rides) on his back or shoulders. We were little at the time, so of course we thought it would be fun. Whenever he would come over he would give us these "rides" and take us to our bedroom (one at a time) and when we would get into the bedroom he would tell us to tickle him near his genital area. He told us that it was the most ticklish spot on a person's body. We hadn't thought anything of it, because obviously we were too young. If we had refused to tickle him he would get very upset and then start offering us treats like ice cream or money if we would do it. So of course we would. Now that I think about it, I do remember being in a car with him to go get ice cream and him reaching in the backseat and trying to tickle me. He told me that if I laughed that I would lose the game. He also told me to do it to him and try to make him laugh. I remember whenever we were anywhere he would always tell us to be quiet if we laughed too loud or something like that.

I am very disgusted by this now.

Later, I had told my mom about what we would do and she got so angry. She never told my stepfather about it though because she didn't want to make him upset.

Last year, I told my counsellor at school about it, and she tried to look up his criminal record but she couldn't find anything on it.

So basically this man just got away with doing what he did, and I wouldn't doubt that he does it to other kids as well.
