A trio of survivors in this video share at least two things in common: 1) That they are survivors of child sexual abuse. 2) That they have found solace and comfort from joining other survivors in a collaborative effort to heal and fight for justice.

In this award-winning video SNAP Board President Shaun Dougherty relates the details of his abuse as a fifth-grader at the hands of his religion teacher and Pee-Wee basketball coach, Father George Kaharchik. He’s joined by AnnEpeck, who tells the story of her survival from incest perpetrated by her father, as well as Larry Antonsen, who recalls his abuse as a high school sophomore at the hands of a parish priest.

This video showcases the breadth of what Shaun calls a “true epidemic,” based on the boxes and boxes of case files stored in a SNAP facility. And it demonstrates the power of connecting all the survivors together to bring about accountability and an end to the abuse.
