Meet Olly Starr (He/They)
Survivor. Writer
Olly is from Iowa and was sexually abused as a 6 year old by the son of his mother's boyfriend. That happened once. When he was 13, he was abused on multiple occasions by his ‘best friend’ who was a few years older. He did tell his father, who Olly felt remained neutral instead of fully supportive of him. This caused ongoing trauma for years, culminating in 37 admissions to a psych unit. Olly’s story is inspirational and therefore a must watch.
