star in the world. She wanted me to read this to you. It is an open letter to the people of Australia. It reads as follows:
First I want to say thank you for caring about humanity and being concerned about your families.
Thank you also for caring about my children and all the children who have been victims because of pornography.
I feel as I speak today that I speak for all the women and children who now look down upon us from above. All those who can no longer speak for themselves can now speak through me.
As I write down my thoughts, I wish I could say something so right and so intelligent that it would open everyones eyes to the destruction caused by pornography. Sadly, this will not be the case and some more children will have to suffer harm because of pornography.
Then I realized that all I can do is tell my story. I hope that through it you can see and feel what my eyes, my heart and my soul have personally experienced.
Linda Boreman was my name at birth, Linda Lovelace was my branded name and Linda Marciano is the name I chose.
Linda Boreman was the daughter of a policeman father and a PTA mother. Linda Lovelace was a fictitious character created for exploitation by Charles Traynor. Linda Lovelace did what she had to do to survive and be alive today.
Linda Marciano is a wife, a woman, and mother who for 10 years has attempted to let the world know the truth about the cold and callous world of pornography.
I experienced that world first-hand at the hands of Mr Traynor. He took me through physical abuse, mental abuse, sexual abuse. He threatened me daily with beatings, knives to my face, a 45 cal automatic and a machine gun. Constant threats were made upon my life and the lives of my loved ones. The world of the pornographers is not a kind one.
I had never seen a porno movie until I met Mr Traynor. In the next 3 weeks, which was my total involvement in pornography, my whole world was changed. Because of these threats and a strong desire to remain alive, I became involved in pornography. Since then, nothing has been the same and still the harassment continues.
