AHHHS Presents another Adult Survivor of Childhood Abuse

Richard Windmann is from Fort Worth, Texas.

Richard's childhood was filled with sexual abuse.

"I was a typical mid-city kid.".

Unbeknownst to his mother, four pedophiles started the boy scout troop he joined and all four of his Boy Scout leaders raped him. Men would fly in from out of town to have sex with me. It was two years before detectives would find this pedophile ring. Then he contacted two police officers and one told him not to call back. "As a kid, I did not know to call the District Attorney," he explains. "Then the sex crimes detective also raped me and scared me by showing me a picture of a dead teen. I was called to a court case against this sex crimes detective. The court found that they believed my testimony over the detective's testimony."

Richard stays busy helping others. He states, "I find my healing through helping others find their voice," he says. "I am the president of a group which helps adult survivors of child abuse try to get justice and tell their story. The name of the organization is 'Survivors of Childhood Sex Abuse'." SCSA is an advocacy and support group for victims and survivors of childhood sex abuse. They offer free resources and support to victims and survivors. The mission of Survivors of Childhood Sex Abuse is to empower victims to become survivors and thrive. "Through understanding, empathy, education, and advocacy, we support you and your loved ones in your healing journey," he says. "We will listen to you, believe you, and we support you."
