What celebrities have abused children?

Many famous people were abused as children. Perhaps most famously, Oprah Winfrey revealed that she was repeatedly molested by members of her own family. Many professional sportsmen that I know of were abused as children as was pop star Darren Hayes. The Irish singer Sinead O'Connor also suffered years of abuse. Abuse, no matter how extreme does not need to be the end of your life. Many people who were abused as children don't go on to be famous but do work with charities that help other suffering people, and go on to live happy lives.

Others include Axl Rose singer of Guns N' Roses, Mackenzie Phillips, Tom Petty, David Ruffin, etc.

Oh and the best comedian in the world. Billy Connoly!
