7. You're right, it happens to women of any age.

Sexual abuse has nothing to do with age or looks, it's always about power and control. I got groped in a crowded elevator when I was in my 60s. The loser was in his twenties, but he grabbed my butt cheek!

I screeched in surprize, and loudly told him to get his fingers out of my butt. He tried to look so innocent, but several people heard me and they started calling him a pervert. One man grabbed his neck ad said he was going to turn him over to the building security, but he ducked and ran when the doors opened.

We have to speak up! Silence lets the perverts win and only encourages them to go after more women. Maybe that creep will think twice before he tries to grab another woman ad some young girl won't become his next victim.
