Jenna Quinn
Jenna is a triumphant survivor of sexual abuse. No, more than mere survivor, she has become a valiant warrior against sexual abuse of children and adolescents. A new Texas law bears her name, Jenna’s Law. Finally telling her secret brought such sweet relief that she has been on a campaign ever since to spare others her torment. The first step in that campaign was telling her story, just a few days after her molester was sentenced to 20 years in prison. "I'm not scared. Don't you be scared," she told other victims at the time.
