Sen. Scott Brown Says He Was Sexually Abused As A Child

ABC's Matthew Jaffe Reports:

Sen. Scott Brown, R-MA, has revealed that he was sexually abused multiple times at the age of 10.

Brown told CBS News in an interview for “60 Minutes” that the abuse came at the hands of a camp counselor.

“Fortunately nothing was ever fully consummated, so to speak, but it was certainly back then very traumatic. He said, ‘If you tell anybody then I’ll kill you, you know, I will make sure no one believes you.’ And that’s the biggest thing – 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,” Brown said in the interview.

“So you never reported it?” asked CBS's Lesley Stahl.

“No. My mom will read about it for the first time. My wife hasn’t read about it. No, no I didn’t tell anybody. That’s what happens when you’re a victim. You’re embarrassed. You’re hurt.”
