Ashley Judd opens up on her sexual assault, says she was raped twice

Hollywood actress Ashley Judd, who was in Delhi on Monday revealed that she was raped twice.

The 48-year-old actress was here for the World Congress Against Sexual Exploitation of Women and Girls initiative, spoke about her sexual assault.

Ashley said that she is a survivor of gender & sexual violence.

While addressing a press conference, she revealed, "I was molested when I was 7 years old. I was raped at 14, and then I was raped in 1998. It’s a miracle that I wasn’t trafficked.”

Judd has been an active social activist and has been one of the strong voices against Donald Trump for his offensive remarks against women.

"I love my country (United States) & my country has a long way to go in obtaining full equality for girls and women," she added.

The 'Twisted' actress continued saying that there is a huge pay disparity in Hollywood and that her lifetime earnings are 40 % less, simply because she is a female.
