Andressa Urach describes in her book Morri Para Viver the experiences she had with the sexual assault she endured as a young child. She was a victim from age 2 to eight years of sexual abuse from the grandfather she adopted. Andressa Urach was able to get free of the abuse after her foster grandmother caught her in the act. Andressa then returned home with her mother who was unaware that she was abused up until Andressa wrote her book. The famous woman said in interviews that she achieved something that, to her, was unattainable prior to her spiritual conversion: Forgiving her abuser. In one of my hardest decision, I called that person I had abused me sexually. It was not an easy thing to take. It was not easy. After numerous prayers and fasting, I told him over the phone I was sorry for him. I was not feeling guilt and pleaded for forgiveness. The request to forgive me was not a justification. Mariste Urach in a piece for Globo, describes the story of how she learned of her daughter's sexual harassment. In an interview with Globo Mariste Urach shares how she reacted when she learned about the intimidation suffered through her son.
