Sexual Abuse is cyclical. Deviant sexual behaviors are imprinted on the developing child.
When boundaries are breached, it can cause the child to have a warped sense of right and wrong.
Thus, abuse victims can become abusers when they don't confront and resolve their own molestation.
This interview is especially powerful given the documentary Surviving R. Kelly is being promoted by the Mainstream Media
R. KELLY'S OLDER BRO REVEALS THEY WERE BOTH MOLESTED AS CHILDREN BY THEIR OLDER SISTER:

Examples like this must be used to counter the academic narrative that pedophilia "isn't harmful" (or the corollary argument that the public's response to pedophilia victims causes them shame - not the abuse itself)

"Sexual Abuse is cyclical. "
In some cases.
When I was a little girl I was raped by both a 15 y/o boy and his 12 y/o sister.
A couple years later I was molested by my much older half-sister (who turned to a life of sexual promiscuity due to her own fucked up childhood).
I made damn sure their evilness never turned me into a deviant like they are (were).
Though.... I had a Christian upbringing, unlike my half-sister that molested me, and the nasty brother/sister retarded duo, so perhaps I was fortunate because we were taught about, and against committing acts of sexual immorality and the likes..... and I know that, at least in the case of my elder half sisters, they were not raised that way by their mum.
So yeah, it can be cyclical. And it fucking definitely is in the case of the Kelly family (and my half sister).

I'm sorry you had to experience those horrors, and I'm praising God you made it through unscathed.
