'I was molested from age 6 and gang-raped in high school' - Pamela Anderson reveals

During her speech at the launch of her foundation, Pamela Anderson Foundation, at Cannes Film Festival last week, glamour model and actress Pamela Anderson revealed how she was molested from age 6 and gang-raped by her first boyfriend and his friends who decided it would be fun to rape her

"I did not have an easy childhood. I was molested from age 6-10 by my female babysitter. I went to a friends boyfriends house while she was busy. The boyfriends older brother decided he would teach me backgammon which led into a back massage which led into rape- my first heterosexual experience. He was 25 yrs old, I was 12.

My first boyfriend in grade 9 decided it would be fun to gang rape me (with 6 of his friends) Needless to say I had a hard time trusting humans. I just wanted off this earth. My parents tried to keep me safe but to me the world was not a safe place, my dad  an alcoholic, my mom worked two jobs waitressing. My mom was always crying. Dad didn't always come home leaving us in tremendous pain and worry. I couldn't bare to give her any more disruptive information. I couldn't break her heart any more than it was breaking. I kept these events to myself. Sometimes, when you smile, it's not because you are happy, it's because you are strong" she said

Keep a close eye on your young children and the people around them. Children are getting molested every day...sometimes by family members...and people you trust!

7 dead in California drive-by shootings

Drive-by shootings in Southern California on Friday night left seven people dead, CNN affiliate KEYT-TV reported Saturday, citing Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown.

Brown said the suspected gunman was among seven people killed in the shootings, which occurred in Isla Vista -- near the University of California, Santa Barbara.

"This was a premeditated mass murder," Brown said, and he labeled the suspect as "severely mentally disturbed."

Authorities searching for a motive were looking into a video posted on social media that contains a man's tirade against women who supposedly rebuffed him, Brown said.

Seven others suffered "gunshot wounds or traumatic injuries," Brown said. One of those victims is said to have "life-threatening injuries. The sheriff reported nine different crime scenes.

The KEYT report said "witnesses described seeing a black BMW speeding through the streets, spraying bullets at people and various targets." The suspected gunman traded fire with sheriff's deputies, and the vehicle plowed into a parked car, the report said.

The suspected gunman was found in the BMW with a shot to the head, the affiliate said. It wasn't clear whether the death was self-inflicted or whether deputies killed the suspected gunman. A handgun was recovered.

The violence occurred over a 10-minute period, from the first emergency call at 9:27 p.m. to the suspect's discovery, the KEYT report said.

Woman, 25, found alive after being kidnapped by her neighbor 10 years ago

Isidro Garcia

(Scroll down for video) A family was happy to reunite with their daughter and her baby, who was fathered by the kidnapper.
The woman of California, who is now 25 year old, was abducted 10 years ago. She has been found alive and well.
The accused kidnapper was identified as 41-year-old Isidro Garcia. He was arrested on charges of kidnapping, rape and imprisonment, police said.
At the time of the abduction, the victim, who was 15 years old, lived in a complex in Santa Ana, with her family.
She began a relationship with Garcia, who lived nearby.
Garcia had reportedly been sexually abusing her for a couple of months before he kidnapped her.
One day, Garcia allegedly drugged the teen and took her hostage. He gave her false identity papers. In order to keep full control over the teen, Garcia took her along to his job as a night cleaner.
When the victim turned 18 years old, Garcia forced her to marry him. Two years ago, the woman gave birth to Garcia’s baby. The couple moved to many different locations to avoid being caught.
Over the years, the woman tried to escape, but was caught by Garcia, and he beat her for trying to get away. The woman’s latest attempt to escape was successful.
The woman notified police and Garcia was arrested.
A neighbor of the woman’s mother claims that the teenager ran away with Garcia voluntarily after her family did not approve of her relationship with the much older man.
Garcia’s lawyer claims that his wife filed the kidnapping charges only after the couple decided to separate.
