The Steve Wilkos Show is a talk show that features host Steve Wilkos as he provides a platform for guests to air their grievances and resolve their issues. In season 12, episode 79 titled "Did My Dad molest my sister and Make me watch," the show deals with a sensitive issue that affects the core of a family's relationships. The episode centers on a young woman named Jessica who claims that her father, Steven, molested her sister when they were children, and made her watch, traumatizing both of them.

Jessica begins by detailing the abuse that she and her sister suffered at the hands of their father when they were only five and six years old. She reveals how Steven would touch them inappropriately and make them perform sexual acts on him while ensuring that they kept the abuse secret, threatening to hurt them if they revealed what was happening. Jessica's sister has struggled to come to terms with the abuse, and it has affected her relationships, leading to bouts of depression and suicidal thoughts.

As Jessica speaks, Steve listens intently and gets increasingly emotional as the story unfolds. He is visibly disturbed by the allegations and promises to bring the perpetrator to justice. Jessica has one burning question that she needs to ask her father - Why did he do it? Did he genuinely feel pleasure entertaining himself by molesting innocent children?

Steve then welcomes Steven to the stage and confronts him with the allegations against him. Steven vehemently denies the accusations, claiming that his daughters are lying. He asserts that Jessica has always been difficult and always lies, and that his other daughter must have picked up the lies from her sister.

During the discussion, emotions run high, with Steven denying the charges and Jessica and Steve challenging his statements, and trying to get him to admit that he abused his daughters. Steve offers him a lie detector test, which Steven agrees to take. The polygraph results reveal that Steven was deceptive in his answers, indicating that he is lying.

In the aftermath of the polygraph test, Steve speaks with the sisters and their mother, who express their relief that the truth about Steven's abuse has finally come to light. While they were hoping for a full confession from Steven about his abuse, the lie detector results confirm what they always thought of him, as they feel justice has been served.

Overall, the episode is an emotional roller coaster and a harrowing account of the trauma and pain inflicted on young children who experience sexual abuse. It's a sober reminder of the importance of nurturing kindness and justice for all. The episode raises awareness regarding sexual assault and the power of choice that each individual has to take action against it.
