Miss Iron County has no problem with world peace.
But when Erika Hansen steps up to the microphone in June at the Miss
Utah pageant, she's going to be talking about something very different from
the normal beauty pageant stereotypes, something that can make a lot of
people uncomfortable.
She is a victim of child sex abuse.
"It started when I was 11 years old and lasted until I was 18," Hansen
said matter-of-factly in an interview with the Deseret News. "In high
school, in my senior year, I went to my high school counselor and I filed a
police report."
She testified against him at a preliminary hearing in 2007.
