Silent Victim: Growing Up in a Child Porn Ring (Hardcover)

Little Timmy is a shy, insecure, nine-year-old boy when he meets Brian Gunther, a third-grade teacher in his elementary school. Nothing awaits him at home except a physically and mentally abusive mother and an absentee father. But when Timmy appears at school one day sporting bruises and a fat lip, everything changes between Mr. Gunther and him.

As Mr. Gunther showers Timmy with affection and gifts, he becomes the friend and male role model Timmy has never had in his life. The teacher has evil intentions for befriending Timmy, however, far beyond simple molestation. As Timmy is unwittingly lured into the lonely, dark world of child pornography and orgies-in which he is tortured and forced to perform sexual acts on other boys and men-he becomes not only a victim of rape, but also of blackmail and deception. Unfortunately, his nightmare is just beginning.

Silent Victim touchingly illustrates one boy's shattering childhood journey as he learns to rely on sheer will and determination to survive the horrors of sexual abuse.
