ccording to a survey conducted in 2005 by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, one in six men have experienced sexual abuse before they reached the age of 18. Dr. Robin D. Stone, author of No Secrets, No Lies: How Black Families Can Heal From Sexual Abuse stated that about 14 percent of child sexual assault victims are male.
Many sexual assault-based crimes in the black community are underreported or unreported altogether; hence the unavailability of studies pointing to sexual abuse in African-American communities. The effects of the trauma are also left untreated.
Charlemagne Tha God, the often controversial and one-third of the trio that hosts “The Breakfast Club” on New York City’s 105.1 FM revealed on the docu-series “UNCENSORED” that he was molested as a child by his cousin’s ex-wife.
