Manitoba’s minister for the status of women says she was sexually assaulted when she was 13.
Rochelle Squires spoke about the assault after making a statement in the legislature to mark Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
She says she never went to police, and only spoke about the incident when she was in her 30’s, discussing it with a therapist.
She adds she decided to come forward to help others realize there is a way to heal.
