British Television presenter Saira Khan has said sexual abuse has changed her forever as she discussed "Filthy Rich" a documentary about Jeffrey Esptein which explores Jeffrey's past until his death in a prison cell last year.

"I was really scared about watching it. Because obviously having been in a similar situation where I was molested" she was quoted by UK's Daily Star  as saying.

Discussing the victims of Epstein's abuse , the "Loose Women" star said, "The moment I found really difficult was there was a girl there, one of the survivors and she talked about before being molested, her life was lovely."

She added:"She felt like she was a flower, she was blooming, and life was ok."I really resonated with that particular woman because that's how I felt, my life was absolutely fantastic and then in that moment, I changed.

Talking  about her own experience, she said "That's how I felt, my life was absolutely fantastic, and in that moment I changed - I can never get my innocence.

Saira Khan said, "Up until this moment I have been angry, I've got a defence mechanism around me, it just changes your lives forever."

 She added:  "Listening to these girls' voices, they're so brave, you can't turn a blind eye and also we have to create a society where if someone says it's happened, you believe them."

The TV star previously revealed that she had been molested by a family member when she was just 13 years old.
