After Abuga Pele and Philip Assibit were imprisoned on February 23, 2018, for their role in the GYEEDA scandal, Mr. Ayariga's assessment was that they were
victims of a system filled with holes that festered corruption.
As a
systems therapist, incest survivor, and recovering alcoholic, I've lived through several stages
of our culture's attempt to come to terms with child sexual abuse — as a
victim in the silent 1950s; as a therapy client in the oblivious 1960s and 1970s; and as a psychotherapist in the 1980s and 1990s, when once - dismissed accounts
of abuse
filled my therapy practice (and my television screen) only to be partly discredited within the decade during another swing
of the cultural pendulum.
