Julianne says she was just 10 years old at the time, far away from her family in Utah.  "I was abused, mentally, physically, everything," she tells Cosmo, on newsstands Jan. 8.    She says adults at a dance academy took advantage of her position.  "I was 10 years old looking like I was 28, being a very sensual dancer" she says.   "I was a tormented little kid who had to put on this sexy façade because that was my job and my life," she adds. "But my heart was the same, and I was this innocent little girl. I wanted so much love."    Julianne's brother and fellow DWTS pro Derek Hough and fellow dancer Mark Ballas also attend the school, although they too, were children at the time.   Now the 24 year old just wants to move on and won't provide any more details of who or what.   "I'm a very forgiving person, and I don't want to hurt anybody," she says. "What's past is past."     Read all about it here.   Now, Julianne stars in the upcoming movie  Safe Haven, opening Valentine's Day, about a girl who survives an abusive ex-boyfriend and accepts the love of a widower, played by Josh Duhamel.
