IN MEMORY OF
TODD TRIBBLE

STOP THE NORMALIZATION OF CHILD SEX ABUSE

I am Jennifer Tribble, the only child of Reuel Todd Tribble.  One day, I woke up and the inordinate fear I felt by not telling the secrets what went on at Todd’s house were finally outweighing the fear of telling.  My secret was that he had been sexually abusing me for as long as I can remember, from about 2 years of age.  Oh the slew of detailed stories of sexual abuse by this man I can tell.  Once I hit puberty, it quickly escalated to pornography.  He owned a computer business at the time in Orangeburg, SC called Transworld Computers.  There, he would take me, and alone with my father I was forced to do horrific things – and for the camera, to include the video camera.  He even showed me explicit photographs of other young girls in an effort to normalize his behavior.  Years later, I found out through Todd’s brother that Todd had also sexually abused my cousin (Todd’s only niece).  Todd spent his life making friends and it seemed that, sadly, everyone trusted Todd to be with their daughters.
