The traumatic incident occurred the summer before she entered 5th grade when a much older ‘cool girl’ performed oral sex on her while she was visiting with her friend’s family’s friends in California.
“She was one of the cool girls,” said Williams. “She made you want to feel like you were a grown-up.” One night when Williams and her friend were sleeping, the older girl snuck into their room and went straight for Vanessa.

“She told me to lie down on the floor. She took my bottoms off and she said, ‘Be quiet,’” Williams says. “She went down on me.”
Vanessa says that she couldn’t really understand what was happening, but knew it was wrong.
“I had no idea what it was, but I knew it felt good,’ she says.’I knew it felt good, but was also something that was not supposed to be happening.”
Although she knew it was wrong, she never told her parents about what happened because the moment she stepped off the plane she learned of a family tragedy and didn’t have the courage to bring it up. “I saw my dad’s face and his face was gray. And I just found out that his brother had died,” she recalls.
