Former Manchester United star Patrice Evra has revealed that he was sexually abused in his youth.
The onetime Red Devils and France left-back reveals in his new autobiography that he was assaulted as a 13-year-old by his schoolteacher
The 40-year-old admitted that he had yet to tell several of his family members and friends - but said that he has come forward now to help other young victims like himself.
"I'll be honest with you, when I first did the book, I didn't tell the whole story because I was still ashamed and scared about what people will think," Evra told The Times.
"Now I want to say it because I don't want kids to be in my situation and they are ashamed of themselves, thinking they are not brave, because it's not about being brave, it's about being mentally ready to talk about it.
