The movie I saw on opening night in a packed New York City theater was not about sex, despite all one might read about "50 Shades of Grey". I was most intrigued by how the film would depict the life of a childhood sexual abuse victim, and I was not disappointed. I was not interested in being titillated with images of intimate sexuality, nudity, or pornography. I saw the movie because a preview I read mentioned that the title character was a victim of childhood sexual abuse. Recently, I saw the movie, "50 Shades of Grey," but not for reasons one might suspect. I am an ex-Christian Brother of Ireland, ex-priest, survivor of sexual abuse, and advocate for thousands of sexual abuse victims for over a decade.
