A young girl who is sexually assaulted by her teacher turns her trauma into a force for good, using her story to help other survivors and prevent future abuse.
May 5th, 1994 the cover of the River Cities Gazette reads, TEACHER CONFESSES, I fondled my students. Miami Springs Middle School teacher, Ronald Bach said he took the girls, most of whom were his teacher aides, out of classes by writing passes which excused their absences. When he was finally caught there was presumably 16 other victims. Only 1 of the victims, who was 12 years old during the abuse, now age 15 pressed charges.
The lone survivor who pressed charges, is my guest today. Michele Vergho describes the “grooming” and abuse she endured.
In this episode, you will learn:
1. The abusers power within the school
2. The details of Michele's abuse
3. The impact the abuse had on Michele's life
4. What to do if a parent suspects a crime.
5. Encouraging words for a survivor.
