For many, bringing hidden trauma to light is a liberating experience, but for one Mobile County man, the decision after 50 years to finally confront the child sexual abuse he suffered at the hands of a Boy Scout leader has only blown up in his face. The man, who asked not to be identified (and will be referred to as John), is nearly 70 years old now, a former local police officer who later pursued a career in radio as a host on programs serving audiences across the Gulf Coast. He allowed Lagniappe to publish details about his life.
