KEYNOTE SPEAKER
2nd Annual
Child Abuse:
The Big Picture
Conference
When Jenna Quinn was 13, her father’s best friend began
sexually abusing her. Jenna kept her secret for years because
she didn’t want to hurt her family. Jenna is a triumphant
survivor of sexual abuse. No, more than mere survivor, she has
become a valiant warrior against sexual abuse of children and
adolescents.
Nov. 29, 2012
Finally telling her secret brought such sweet relief that she has
been on a campaign ever since to spare others her torment. The
first step in that campaign was telling her story, just a few days
after her molester was sentenced to 20 years in prison. “I’m
not scared. Don’t you be scared,” she told other victims at the
time.

When she was 17, she was approached by the Dallas Morning
News about featuring her story. This was paramount in her
decision to speak out as a victor and not a victim. Her story
sparked an array of news and media opportunities for her to
speak out about child sexual abuse issues.
She has moved into political action reaching out to Texas
legislators about the need for schools to adopt age-appropriate
curriculum on child sexual abuse. Republican Rep. Tan Parker
championed what is now known as Jenna’s Law in August
2009, which passed the state senate unanimously. She has a
desire to see struggling individuals reach their full potential in
Christ, and live a life of peace and wholeness.
