SALT LAKE CITY -- A movie theater may seem like a strange place to talk about a sensitive subject like child sex abuse, but it is where the Utah Attorney General unveiled a new public service announcement aimed at ending the cycle of abuse.

The campaign is called One with Courage -- it is the brainchild of police, prosecutors, those who work with victims of child sex abuse and some of the victims themselves.

Sisters Deondra and Desirae Brown, known as  members of the sibling piano quintet the 5 Browns, attended the event Tuesday as survivors of sexual abuse.

These two young women endured sexual abuse at the hands of their father but then had the courage to come forward, testify against him and help send him to prison.

They want to let others know that they are not alone and more importantly to let them know that help is available.
