Fox News
Paul Martin Andrews was 13-years-old when he was abducted, raped, and kept for days in a small underground box with this captor in 1973. Telling a story spanning nearly 50 years, Martin, an advocate for rape survivors and sexual predator laws, spoke with Fox News Digital about his journey, depicted in the new Fox Nation series 'Lost Then Found: Tales of a Kidnapping.'
"Some scars just don’t heal," Martin replied. "It’s hard to believe after 50 years that hole is still there. I still have a scar on me as well." I looked great on the outside, but inside I was coming apart." - Paul Martin Andrews "These men are a danger to the public and we know with near certainty that most of them will re-offend," - Paul Martin Andrews "…God gave me the tool of this documentary, to be able to communicate the problems that are going on here…" - Paul Martin Andrews
While Martin still remembers all that he endured, he felt that the world around had seemed to forget. Not just about his story, but about the dangers sexual predators pose to American cities, like the historic seaport town of Portsmouth where Martin disappeared five decades ago.
"I needed to remind people that this story happened, that these things, these horrible things happen to children – and if you allow sex offenders to roam freely after having committed multiple offenses, they will do it again," Martin said.
