A woman who says she was sexually abused 40 years ago only remembered it after she moved next door to her alleged abuser in Alachua Country, Florida.

The woman, who is only known as Tracey, told police that she and her husband moved into a trailer on her allged abuser’s property.

Tracey remembered Donald Truluck, now aged 66, from here childhood – he had been her aunt’s boyfriend and her mother often left her with him – but remembered nothing about the alleged sexual abuse.

She only knew she did not want to be alone with him, although she was helping care for him because he was sick.

‘I should have been a whistleblower as a child and I didn’t know how. When I was faced with threats, I didn’t know what to do. I was a kid,’ she told the Gainesville Sun.

In 1993, he was arrested for growing marijuana.

Tracey says she remembered nothing about the alleged abuse until she began having flashbacks about six years ago, ten years after she moved onto his property with her second husband.

‘I remembered him but as far as the traumatic events, I buried it all,’ she said.

‘I remembered nothing and then probably about six years ago, I started having flashbacks, images.’

‘I had to go seek therapy and during that is when everything came to light. After years of working on it, it all came up,’ she told the outlet.
