A former Litchfield athlete is speaking out about abuse he says happened decades ago—when he was just a teenager.

At 16, he went to police. But no one else came forward at the time.

Now, after renewed attention in the community and a public debate over how the coach should be remembered, he’s sharing his story in full.

In this episode of Say More, he explains:

- How abuse was normalized and hidden

- Why speaking up felt impossible at the time

- What happened when he finally came forward

- And why he’s choosing to speak publicly now

This conversation includes discussion of sexual abuse.
