McCord first spoke about being raped in an essay for Cosmopolitan in 2014.

Since then she has become president of Together1Heart, an organization focused on supporting victims of sex trafficking in Cambodia and working towards ending 'modern day slavery.'

She explained that recalling her own painful memories of abuse led her to understand 'why this is my life and this is my story because it is so personal to me.'

McCord told People: 'I thought I had to had sex with someone to be able to be loved. It was devastating to my soul as a human being to feel I wasn’t worthy of love unless someone was taking advantage of my body.'

As for working to help others, she said: To be able to be a part of something where young men and women and boys and girls have been through even worse than what I have been through in my own life..... to see that they weren’t suicidal like I was, they weren’t cutting up their arms like I was... they were forgiving and loving themselves and those who did that to them, that gave me a way out. They gave me hope.'

The actress first found fame on FX's Nip/Tuck and went on to star in The CW's 90210 teen drama series.

She also appeared in TNT's Dallas reboot and ABC's Secrets And Lies.
