 Harry Potter actress Jessie Cave has spoken out about being raped by a tennis coach at the age of 14.

The comedian and actress – who is known for playing the character Lavender Brown in the films about the boy wizard  - discussed her ordeal in her podcast. 



Actress Jessie Cave was raped by her tennis coach when she was just 14 years old.

The Harry Potter star bravely opened up about the traumatic experience while talking to her sister Bebe on her new podcast We Can’t Talk About That Right Now.

Chatting about who “had it worse” during their teenage years, Jessie said: “I mean, come on, I was raped. I get the trump card.”

As Bebe lightheartedly accused Jessie of “pulling out that trump card a lot”, the 33-year-old.  Cave then continued: “To be fair, acne and braces are bad, but I think rape at 14 is pretty bad.

“By your tennis coach, who you trusted, a position of power.”

The actress – who said the person who raped her had been sent to jail – added that there were “still consequences from that period of time that I’m only realising 18 years later”.

She went on: “And actually, the more time I have away from it, the more I felt, this is going to sound awful, but I do feel quite lucky in so many ways that I had a rape that was actually… it didn’t destroy me, and I think that’s something that people don’t talk about enough with sexual abuse and trauma.

“There are some people that are okay after.

“There are some people that do use it and find a way of living with it and definitely are not defined by it.”


SAY NO TO RAPE! RAPE IS A VERY BAD ACT!
