Former One Day At a A Time star Mackenzie Phillips' shocking confession about her decade-long, consensual sexual relationship with her famous father, John Phillips, has a silver lining for others: it has propelled the issue of incest into the spotlight…and as a result, it has inspired other victims to come forward and seek help.
ABC News reports that since Phillips' public admission on the Oprah Winfrey show this week, the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN) has seen a 26 percent jump in its hotline calls and an 83 percent increase in traffic on its Web site.
It is not unusual for such a public confession to spur others to seek help, said Ajia Meux, a supervisor at RAINN, which is based in Washington, D.C.
