Miss
Pennsylvania Valerie Gatto, a contestant on last night’s Miss USA pageant,
described herself as a “product of rape” in an interview with TODAY.com. Gatto
revealed she was conceived after her mother was raped at knifepoint by a
stranger.
Gatto is using her experience and status
to educate women about sexual assault and to provide an example of someone who
rose above her situation to achieve success.
“I believe God put me here for a reason,”
Gatto told TODAY.com. “To inspire people, to encourage them, to give them hope
that everything is possible and you can’t let your circumstances define your
life.”
