58. I'm becoming convinced she was abused herself as a child
Everything I'm seeing said about her is things I've read are true of victims of sexual abuse:

Lacking any self-respect.

Equating abuse with affection, and being willing to engage in acts which replicate the original abuse for the sake of attention.

Abusing others.


I've read that many (or most) prostitutes and porn stars come out of a background of abuse. They are willing to continue being abused because it feels normal to them -- it may even make them feel good.

Lynndie England seems to fit that pattern -- and every new lurid detail that comes out fits it even more perfectly.
