10 Years of Abuse… And No One Knew | Kieron Riley

The Tom's Talks Podcast is a place where we speak to a vast array of people from different walks of life and find out what makes them them. We will speak about their unique journey and delve into the highs and the lows which ultimately define them. 

In this episode, Kieron opens up about being sexually abused from the age of 6 to 16 — something he kept hidden for nearly 20 years.

We talk about what it’s like growing up not realising something isn’t normal, the confusion and guilt that follows, and how trauma can shape your identity, relationships, and mental health for years after.

Kieron shares what finally led him to speak out, the reality of staying silent for so long, and how he’s now using his story to help others feel less alone.

This isn’t an easy listen — but it’s an important one.
