Hollywood Actor Hosea Chanchez has revealed that he was molested at the age of 14 by his friend’s father. He made this revelation in an emotional Instagram post.
He began in the caption of his post:
“I’m Hosea chanchez and when I was 14 years old I was molested by my friend’s father. This man is a predator, preying on children who trust he’s falsely built through lies, manipulation, threats and secrets.”
“I hope this truth helps to stop child molesting predators from sexually assaulting more children. Paedophiles have no place in our society they hide in the open and rape children who are afraid to speak up because of shame, guilt, fear, denial and the thought that no one will believe them. In doing this to help parents and young children become aware of some of the signs and better protect themselves from sexual predators. (Swipe to read my TRUTH)”

In the post, Hosea gave a detailed account of the abuse he experienced at the hands of his abuser, who worked at a university. He then went on to name him.
He wrote:
On This one day in particular, he insisted on taking me home, I knew something wasn’t right, my intuition was telling me it’s not right but I got in the car anyways. Shortly after the drive began, he detoured and pulled down a dirt road, pulled over and said he wanted to talk to me about school and what my plans for my future are. He worked at a university so he said he’s only looking out for me and my future.
Then out of nowhere He said he wanted to see what the girls are going crazy over, then he reached over unzipped my pants and told me to trust him. I remember he kept saying trust me you will like it, he pulled out my penis put it in his mouth and molested me in his car.
When he finished he said, it don’t mean nothing if a guy gives you a blow job, it’s not intercourse, so it’s not sex. Then he told me he’s a very powerful man and if I’d ever told anyone he would ruin my life and no one would believe me anyways. I was 14, a young boy, a child.
