By ABC7
LOS ANGELES

Williams says she was visiting family friends in California when their 18-year-old daughter sexually abused her.

Williams says she kept the incident to herself for years, not realizing until college that she had been molested.

In an interview with People magazine, Williams said she talked about the abuse with her kids so they would know what to look for.
