Last week, a former southern Illinois pastor accused of sexually abusing foster children will likely spend the rest of his life locked in mental hospital.
76-year-old Bill Vandergraph was indicted on several sex crimes back in 2010
He was later found mentally unfit to stand trial.
A woman, who claims she was a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of her foster father and former pastor, is speaking out.
She says she doesn’t feel the punishment is harsh enough.
“I went through a lot more than what he is going through,” says she doesn’t want her identity revealed.
Now 18, this woman claims she was sexually abused by Bill Vandergraph from the age three to 13.
“A lot of kids will talk about their childhood and my childhood is not a good childhood. My childhood is getting raped,” she says.
