**TRIGGER WARNING**
5-time Emmy winning journalist, Brandon Lee enjoyed a privileged childhood, a beautiful home in Anaheim Hills, the best private schools, and both parents prospering in their careers. What he didn’t have was parental supervision to protect him from predators and pedophiles. From the ages of 7-10, Brandon was molested by a trusted neighbor, his piano teacher, and his soccer coach. Each time he waved a “red flag” his mother ignored his desperate acts of self-defense. His teens years were spent trying to numb the pain of trauma with alcohol, drugs and becoming a sex worker in Laguna Beach at 16.
