Former "Dancing With the Stars" pro dancer Cheryl Burke opened up about her surviving childhood sexual abuse, speaking for the TLC special "Breaking the Silence," which aired Sunday.

Burke, 31, said the abuse started when she was in kindergarten.

She didn't name anyone specifically, but said, "He would make me watch pornographic videos. He was kind of like that fatherly figure – I think he knew my weakness, that I was very insecure. He knew that no one was ever around," according to People magazine's recap of the Sunday special.
