Sen. Scott Brown was profiled for this weekend’s episode of “60 Minutes” and says, for the first time, that he was a victim of physical, psychological and sexual abuse. At the age of 10, Brown was sexually abused at the hands of a camp counselor. “It was certainly back then very traumatic,” Brown says in the interview. “He said, ‘if you tell anybody you know I’ll kill you, I’ll make sure nobody 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 they have over you is that they make you believe that nobody will believe you.” In the interview with CBS, Brown says this is the first time he’s discussed the incidents. “That’s what happens when you’re a victim,” he says. “You’re embarrassed, you’re hurt.”
