OK in reality I just wanted to post these pictures of Dancing With the Stars hottie Cheryl Burke in a bikini in Miami, but I guess I need to accompany them with a story of sorts, so here.
Cheryl Burke revealed in the latest issue of People that she was molested as a child by a family friend. She testified against him and he spent 20 years in prison, but he’s been released.
According to People:
Burke’s abuser was a retired mailman who was trusted and well liked in Burke’s Bay Area community. He would sometimes pick Burke up from school and do odd jobs around her home. The assaults began when she was 5.
After he was accused of targeting other children, Burke acknowledged her own abuse. But, still reeling from her parents’ split when she was a baby, she was wracked with confusion.
“I felt guilty for wanting his love and affection,” she says, calling testifying against him “the hardest thing I’ve ever done … I saw his face and lawyers were asking me these questions and I was like, ‘What am I doing? Did he even do anything wrong?’ ”
Eventually, with the man in prison and years of therapy, Burke came to see just how wrong her abuser was.
Now that he has been released she says “It creeps me out,”. “My worst nightmare is to run into him. Not until he dies will I be able not to worry.”
Well Burke, if a delivery man knocks on your door with a special delivery for a Miss Burke, and asks you to sign for it but that he has no pen… well then you run. He’s either going to make you sign for it with his little friend who hasn’t felt the flesh of a woman in 20 years or he’s going to make you sign with your own blood.
