She couldn't take her abuser to court. So she took her to the Internet instead.

Trigger warning: This post could be distressing for survivors of child abuse and/or sexual abuse.

When Jaime Carrillo was 12 years old, her sports coach began to sexually abuse her.

Over an extended period, the woman engaged in unlawful sexual activity with Carrillo, ranging from kissing in the locker room, to taking the minor on out-of-town trips to have sex.

But, when Jaime (now 28) managed to come to terms with what had happened to her, and wanted to bring her abuser to justice, it was too late. Statutory limitations on the pressing of charges* meant that too much time had passed between the incidents of abuse and the present day for Carrillo to take her abuser to court.

So, knowing that the law couldn’t help her, she decided to take justice into her own hands. Carrillo called her former coach (who had gone on to become Assistant Principal at a California high school) and told her who she was, and what she did to her. Her abuser confessed.

But, there was one thing that Carrillo didn’t tell her abuser. And that was that she was recording the whole conversation, with the intention of putting it on YouTube.

Her abuser has since stepped down from her job as an Assistant Principal.
