Kerri Rawson says father, the BTK Killer, likely sexually abused her | Banfield

[@KatlynHaydon]

Imagine your father being friggen BTK and him saying “you brought this on yourself.” What an absolute freak.

[@vsanchez7158]

Right?

[@MK-cc5ve]

“You brought this on yourself”, this is horrific gaslighting. His daughter should not be put in a position to be abused like this ever again.

[@wendyodell356]

How could that sick disturbed evil thing be the parent of a remarkable, intelligent, beautiful woman?!?! Her mother raised her. Kerri, you are an amazing woman! ❤❤❤ So proud of you 🥰

[@Ultorvindex]

I don't know about beautiful because she looks like her father.

[@Sally150]

She loves the attention. With a father like Dennis Rader, most people would try to live quietly.

[@cindee1794]

It's amazing that she's able to talk about it without breaking down. She must have really done a lot of work to get to this point. My heart goes out to her.

[@Sally150]

Like father, like daughter. Neither one of them shows any emotion.

[@PEdition1BFD]

There won't be no emotion if it actually didn't happen or she can't remember it happening as she was so young.

[@jq4444]

Kerri, you are one brave lady. Thank you so much!

[@THREESISTERS15]

I heard about this today and my heart just sank for this woman. Not just Kerri, but her mother, finding this out is absolutely horrifying. As a mom, totally unaware I couldn't protect my children. My thoughts and prayers go to you and your family. Kerri, you are amazing going through this trauma in front of the world. Stay strong.

[@doranvee5944]

Tragic. To think the after-effects the family has to deal with, doesnt end.

[@MollDoll174]

Kerri you are so strong. "The body keeps the score" is so true and I believe that is probably your body remembering that trauma happened with your neck. You are validated. I'm glad you tried EMDR. I have never tried it but been curious.

[@michellecarey583]

She is so strong! I'm so glad she is in therapy. She's very brave.❤❤❤❤

[@christinavigorandmoxie]

I was at this CrimeCon when she announced this. Horrifying. Also the people in the background, never bring your child to this event. Sick that you would even think this type of conference is ok to bring your kid. Shame. Kerri, I saw you speak, it was haunting and you are such a strong woman for speaking out against your families need to keep it a secret. The things people have said to you, the things your father has said to you and done to you, I wish nothing for healing for you.

[@tracycoleman9144]

Such an extremely remarkable brave woman ❤

[@pdelmercado]

That poor woman.

[@anhingasnakebird9947]

Imagine your dad is BTK and every day when you look in the mirror you see his face on yourself. I admire how she handles all that’s happened to her and other victims.

[@THREESISTERS15]

She's not acting as a victim. She is doing all the things she needs to do to heal from this trauma and get stronger. She's also an advocate of educating yourself on how to recover from these grotesque circumstances. Not many people have been in . Look at Victoria Heuermann. How is this young woman going to survive these life changing events that has almost destroyed her family? If you think everyone is out to make a buck, on the backs of these murder victims, families, loved ones, and the pain the perpetrator's family has faced, thats pretty shallow. Maybe that would be your choice? When you've walked in the shoes of a victim's family or the family of a monster, then maybe you can be cavalier about it.

[@sarah2.017]

Kerri's book was great, although not easy to read.

[@jemrosekoontz189]

That poor girl! BTK is evil!

[@kevinbrady3063]

I really hope that she can get all the help from professionals that she could ever want and need.

[@Starcrunch913]

In previous interviews, she said she only saw a rage side come up at the dinner table one time and how it was a side they had never seen before. Now the plot thickens.

[@Thecrimesleepersofficial]

He was hiding in plain sight for nearly 40 years !

[@watsonspuzzle]

I feel so bad for Kerri. It's just one awful thing after another with her dad. It never ends.

[@donnah5378]

So sad 😞

[@susanegley4149]

She is so strong. ❤

[@chiaracelli]

My God.. she is an amazing woman.

[@selinahopeformefarm]

I feel for this woman and understand her search for what happened. I blocked my whole childhood out. I always had nightmares flashbacks etc but wasn't able to put it all together until I started counseling in my 40s. I knew some of what had happened like little glimpses but once I put everything together I could then face it and start healing. I was severely abused as a child, trafficked, and used in CSAM(Child abuse materials). We can go through horrible inhumanities and still, they do not define us! we can choose to use what we endured as a catalyst for good! I now educate folks on the things I went through as a child and teen. I train LE and others on child abuse trafficking and CSAM. I work with kiddos who have been abused /trafficked. in doing this it helps not only me to heal but them as well.

[@andreafowler6953]

God bless her little heart! She’s been through enough hopefully she finds peace and solace asap

[@jooliagoolia9959]

What a brave and strong person she is. Thank yiu for all of your sacrifices to help future cases. 🌈 💜 🌈

[@nevadatan7323]

So proud of everything she's managed to cope with. Complex trauma and abuse is so very detrimental in so many ways, and it lives with you despite being a fully grown adult. Your entire nervous system and executive function of the brain is rewired. The only way to heal is to take back control of your life and live authentically to you, and its so good to see her making her own name for herself in terms of helping others instead of forever living under the shadow of the Monster. Much love Kerri! ❤

[@Croneposse429]

This is just so hard to watch. When you think of law enforcement as the only true family you ever had! Thankfully all her people there really are watching out for her. But at the same time she is still helping them out, and I just hope there isn’t a price she has to pay for all this! She truly is intelligent, empathic, and gifted, but it seems this predator is just too powerful. I hope she finds a way to powerfully purge this toxic being from her life once and for all, and I hope it’s soon! Kerri, you are a very powerful being in your own right, more powerful than your father, and you deserve peace, and protection! Much love!❤

[@teresamoreno6650]

A truly despicable Evil 👿 monster ! This poor woman has been living with PTSD & SA disgusting 🤮! God bless & thoughts and prayers 🙏🏻🇺🇸♥️

[@tonifitz6831]

Enough already

[@ClementineRosexo]

Kerri is so strong. What she does, the retraumatization and the places she has to go back to in her mind to help the public should not be forgotten. That is no easy feat for any survivor. She is an incredible woman ❤

[@ckvarnmass]

She is a strong woman to speak out as she does. Bless her heart.

[@susanjones8489]

Presenting a courageous decent woman whose a survivor. I honor and respect you.

[@jamiestewart5990]

Girl! Go get those glasses adjusted!

[@ahill4642]

YES, PLEASE!

[@KT-fm7dt]

I think if I in her shoes, I would want to distance myself from the situation & just go away and never think about any of this as much as possible. I wouldn’t be attending Crimecon bringing back memories. That would be too triggering & re-traumatizing. Whatever works for her, but I do think she enjoys the attention & there’s no telling how much money she has made off of the murders.

[@CoolHandLukeDuke]

There's this push & pull of both being able to advocate and profit off of it. I can't imagine she can hold a stable job so I do not blame her at all

[@Fat12219]

Comes to steal, kill, destroy 😢

[@debumaiya]

"I have PTSD." " What is that?" You'd think that after spending almost 20 years incarcerated he would have knowledge of PTSD.

[@karenbuchholz1801]

What a remarkable young lady!

[@michaelfrazier629]

It's crazy cuz 5 years ago she was somewhat defending her dad in interviews 😂

[@dd911]

Therapists can sometimes make things worse……..memory is a very strange thing. Sadly she doesn’t know if he did anything to her sexually and it’s terrible if people are telling her he did

[@tiffanyswann4349]

It sucks but I would definitely like to forget about mine. I wonder if it makes it easier or harder to handle 🤔

[@gloomgirl]

She’s so brave to speak up-the families of these monsters are victims as well…heartbreaking 💔

[@pwallace5359]

It’s sad that she even went to him to discuss it. He probably got off on it sexually and it sounds like it just traumatized her further.

[@WildflowerAnn]

What a sicko. I feel so bad for BTKs family.

[@taniaacosta688]

she looks like her dad. how can you do that to your own kid

[@marisawoods]

God bless her and keep her. I admire her so much. She's such a brave woman, so strong. ❤

[@annina_pure_creativity]

Stop telling her what to do or not, you don’t want to change places with her believe me. She needs to figure out herself what she needs or wants to do its her own choice.

[@plaistowbill]

I think Dennis is a horrible person but was, by the stanards of the time, a good father. Kerrie is try to get as much as possible out of being the daughter of a serial killer. It’s a money maker and she gets attention. She needed to come up with something to keep the public interested.

[@rosab7372]

Kerri needs to stop looking at those journals!!

[@kevindorland738]

Poor thing......Dad's/Fathers have one responsibility in life. Being a pervert isn't one of them.

This seems like oversharing or perhaps she would benefit from not speaking on this publicly quite yet. I blame the interviewer too for asking. This Crime Con is very disturbing in my humble opinion.

Ted Bundys daughter changes names and moves to rural England. BTKs daughter makes a career out of it. 😅

[@KahlessTheUnforgettable]

Ted Bundy’s daughter wasn’t raised by him for close to 20+ years. Like I told another “true crime” hag on here; clearly she offers something to the discussion for the FBI and academics to continually schedule time with her. She is also a victim and if she profits from the notoriety, more power to her. Her father’s action have made a normal life impossible.

[@idontcheckmynotifications7138]

She even tried to understand him after he went to prison..smh

[@egtweb]

She is a real life survivor. She can give real testimony of how these types of individuals like BTK act and behave. How controlling, meticulous and manipulative they are. She has been very helpful in profiling a psychopath. She really knows what she is talking about.

[@justme6767]

Shes a brave.lady

[@Ultorvindex]

What's very terrible too is that she is the same face of his father. She's very look alike! How can you live like that?

[@deborahbaker4770]

My father wasn’t a killer but he did sexually abuse me before I was two which I blocked out until I was 10 I’m 66 now and I remember everything he did to he did thing’s you don’t do to any child so I understand what she is saying as far as the sexual abuse part. 😢

I'm sorry to hear that. Dad act is just a manipulation, BTK is the real him.
