Scott Brown: I Was Sexually Abused By A Camp Counsellor When I Was Ten
I wouldn't tell anyone this if it happened to me. I have to imagine Brown feels that way too, but he's opening up about it because other abused kids feel that way. Feel that (like any rape victim) that someone else's outrage makes them unclean.
Not a fun story.
"It was certainly, back then, very traumatic," Brown said in a clip released by CBS today. "When people find people like me at that young, vulnerable age who are basically lost, the thing that they have over you is they make you believe that no one will believe you."
More: Further quotes at the Boston Herald.
He says he was also physically abused by "more than one" stepfather, but I think he means beaten, not sexually abused. Because, if he means the latter, wow.
