Oprah Raped as A Child

Oprah's show has already helped catching two child molesters. And the talk show queen says this is just the beginning.

"I know this is what I'm supposed to be doing with my life," she said, confessing that her motivation relies on a personal experience.
"This is a full circle moment for me," Oprah said on her show. "For me, to have been raped when I was 9 years old and molested since I was 4, that I get to put people behind bars who did this to me, what they are now doing to other children."

With courage and compassion, the star helps the FBI to do justice using the power of media. She plans to feature the faces of the FBI's most wanted child molesters on her web site, oprah.com, every Friday.

She also stated that, apart from the fight battled through media, an important thing to do would be changing the laws on that theme.
