    Default Ray leonards book - abuse.

    Obviously any type of abuse is not right but what is everyones thoughts on ray leanard talking about the sexual abuse he suffered at 22 years old by a former coach?

    When i first heard about it the first thing i thought was that he would have been a child but he was a grown man.

    Was he right to not name the coach or should he name and shame him?!

    Should have named him, because the guy may be doing it today. But 22 years of age doesn't sound like abuse, it sounds like rape.

    What did the book explain about the abuse? Was it full on penetration, fondling or just inappropriate touches and flashes, etc, etc...?

    The sexual abuse allegations began when he went to a boxing event in Utica, New York, in 1971 aged 15 with another teenager and an unidentified ‘prominent Olympic boxing coach’.
    The coach got them to take a bath while he sat on the other side of the bathroom - and they thought it was ‘inappropriate’ but not want to question him, he wrote.
    Then several years later Leonard said he was sitting in a car in an empty car park and listened as the same coach explained the importance of an Olympic gold medal.

    But then Leonard writes what followed: ‘Before I knew it, he had unzipped my pants and put his hand, then mouth, on an area that has haunted me for life.

    ‘I didn’t scream. I didn’t look at him. I just opened the door and ran.’

    I think the guy who offended is dead, so what's the point? All he'd be doing at this point would be to shame the guy's family. What does that achieve?

    It's sickening and it's typical of most sexual abuse. Someone in a position of power takign advantage: I think in this case, Ray was worried this guy would hold him down and keep him out of the Olympics.

    It really is sickening. These sexual predators fuck up people's lives for a few moments of personal gratification.

    Coach has hand on Leonard's lap. Leonard does nothing
    Coach starts unzipping Leonard's pants. Leonard just watches him do it
    Coach goes inside Leonard's pants and takes Leonard dick out. Leonard not complaining
    Coach starts sucking Leonard's dick. Leonard supposedly jumps out the car and starts running

    The fact that Leonard didn't beat the fuck out of the coach as soon as his hand touched his thigh says it all. Leonard is a fucking fag

    We had a local f*<k-up named Murray here, skinny frenchman in his late 50s, was suckin' off guys when they'd pass out after drinking too much.

    One dude, Kevin, a guy in his 30s, was telling the story.
    "I was drinkin', I passed out, when I woke up, Murray was blowing me."
    "Holay! What'd ya do?"
    (pauses)
    "Weelll, I let him finish me off. Then I kicked him !!"

    He couldn't have been 22? (I haven't read the book) In the second incident he says they were in the car discussing the 76 Olympics, so the oldest he could have been is 19.

    I'm not sure a 19-year-old getting groped is "child abuse," but it could obviously have a terrible impact on someones life especially coming from someone you respect as an authority figure. To call him gay is just ridiculously childish.

    Leonard should have come out years ago and possibly stopped this Jimmy Saville abusing other young men.

    True. Leonard could have said "no" and quickly left when the touching and unzipping began.

    I have to agree with VD on this occasion.
    Put yourself in that situation at 19-22 years old.
    If your straight (let alone a boxer) would you let another man take those foreplay steps in the first place?

    Perhaps he was scared and confused but just think how many other teenagers he would have abused because he was not exposed at that stage.

    Perhaps leonard was a bit curious and disgusted at the same time and ran away from it at the time.

    Now he has his millions and is safe its a good time to clear his chest with it.

    not read it but from what you're saying this is someone he knew for some years growing up as a teenager. The person in question would have been an authority figure, someone he would have trusted. I don't think you people realise how abuse and grooming works

    Don't justify Leonard's fag behavior

    I feel terrible for anyone that was sexually abused but in this case I think Ray was curious and now regrets his bi-curious ways.

    That was no abuse. If anything it sounds like non payment of services provided

    An adult man allowed himself to be abused like that? An adult man who could clearly protect himself and did nothing to resist? I find that a little bit questionable. Would you punch him or just let him have his wicked way? Most would argue the former.
