๐ŸŽ™WATCH THIS: In this powerful episode of The 411 Live, we confront a topic thatโ€™s often ignored male victimization in sexual assault. Society rarely talks about men as survivors, but the truth is staggering: nearly 90% of incarcerated men may have experienced sexual abuse. It's time to break the silence.

๐Ÿ’” Special Guest: Todd Jones

Todd shares his deeply personal story of surviving sexual assault and how that trauma shaped his life, ultimately leading to his incarceration. His story is a raw and emotional look at the long-term impact of abuse on men and how unhealed pain can manifest in destructive ways.

๐Ÿ—ฃโ€œThe greatest way to live your truth is to express your pain.โ€ โ€” Todd Jones

With Insight from Trauma Therapist Simmone Kilgore

Simone introduces the concept of "psychological identity theft", explaining how abuse during a boyโ€™s formative years can shatter his sense of self-worth, identity, and emotional stability. She discusses how societal expectations of masculinity often silence menโ€™s pain and discourage them from seeking help.
