Socialite Pretty Mike, has alleged being sexually assaulted as a child by two house helps, leading to him losing his virginity at 13.

Speaking on the “In The Company of Men” podcast, he opened up about the traumatic experience, emphasising the need for parents to be vigilant and protect both their male and female children from s3xual abuse.

Pretty Mike urged parents to pay equal attention to their sons as they do to their daughters, highlighting that male children are often overlooked in such situations.

He stressed the importance of treating all children with care and protection, regardless of gender, and ensuring that domestic workers do not take advantage of them.

He said, “Men have been encouraged to come out to talk about sexual abuse and being taken advantage of sexually at a tender age.

“I lost my virginity at 13 to my housemaid. Not even one, but two. Did that change my orientation about sex? Yes. Am I coming out to report it to say that something negative happened to me? I think I have decided to let it go, especially at that age. Nowadays, 13 can even be seen as an adult sometimes.

“For people that were taken advantage at 6,7,8,9,10 it is totally no because they had no idea. I always tell parents to pay attention to your kids, not just the females but the males also.

“Because I have realised that parents are always consider their female children when hiring domestic workers but what about the male child? They are all young. There shouldn’t be a double standard. Look out for your kids and make sure nobody takes advantage of both the female and the male.” (Via The Nation)
