Larrissa Miller’s story

Ms Miller was sexually abused by an extended family member between the ages of five and 16.

“The reason I wanted to come out is because I know I have a following in the gym community and I wanted to raise awareness of (sexual abuse),” she said. …

“I just wanted people to know that it’s okay to speak out and get the help and support they need.”

Ms Miller said she had regular contact with her abuser.

The 23-year-old broke her silence on White Balloon Day on September 11 and is now an ambassador for child protection organisation Bravehearts.

Ms Miller’s attacker was jailed in May this year. …

The Moranbah gymnast said she used gym “as an escape” to the abuse.

“Gym was my saviour, to be honest. I don’t know what I would have done if I wasn’t in the gym,” Ms Miller said.

Since opening up about the issue, Ms Miller said quite a few people had told her their own stories. …

“The first person I told was my sister… and then my sister told my mum.” …
