Ray Leonard Claims He Was Sexually Abused

    The problem is that some kids are savvy and others are not. You lower it to 12 and there are some kids who will never get into harm or trouble. You could have it as high as 21 and there will be people out there still getting harmed in someway even though the preponderance of their peers will know one thing from another.

    Thus, draw the line somewhere.

    U DON'T Get Cool Points or Merit Badges for Being Sexually Abused or ADMITTING to Being Sexually Abused...Moreso, Anybody that Wasn't ALREADY Gonna Buy Ray Leonard's Book, Won't All of a Sudden Decide to Purchase it, Just Because he Reveals he was Sexually Abused...

    Ray Leonard DOESN'T Need Attention BADLY Enough to Make Up Some Shit like this...

    If Ray was abused he has an obligation, as well as an entitlement, to talk about it.

    Ray was under 18 at the time.

    Up until a few years ago, the minimum age of consent in Canada was 14. It doesn't make it right.

    I can't imagine making something like that up---especially a grown adult who has lived their life. Do people think he did it to keep his name in the papers because he's no longer on Dancing with the Stars? :doh:

    Also, claiming that Leonard, at age 15 or 17, should have known better is absurd. Sheldon Kennedy was 16-17 or so when he was repeatedly molested by Graham James. It happens to teenagers for a reason: they are still developing mentally and physically, and they often don't know how to deal with it.

    Is this really surprising? Hell I always figured Ray was a little suspect. This just confirms it. Gay ray!!

    Well, we will never agree on that.

    You are right, not all are equal at that age. Most don't have a child by 17, as Leonard did. I'd say he knew what was going on here.

    I dont wish to cause controversy, but this just feels like it was more consent than molestation.

    You guys should leave Ray alone. It's not gay if the other guy unzips it for you...

    I've heard all types of stories about Sugar Gay, and even without all that, his mannerisms are very suspect.

    Like others stated, it was probably moreso consensual than guilt than molestation.

    Not that Id believe a 20 year old boxing phenom could be molested by some old guy.

    So being sexually abused as a adolescent makes you gay? Is that sort of like being raped makes a woman a whore? How ignorant.

    You don't know anything about boxing, but it sure is apparent you know a lot about sucking.

    Shut up already. Go hang out around boxing gyms some more. Maybe some 18 year will let you unzip their pants.

    Isn't abuse considered more than one instance and with a younger child? Sorry Ray, not to trivialize it but damn dude, fight back, you had the damn training.

    Buddy. Ray was a star boxer old enough to know what the fuck is going on and strong enough to defend himself. The only way this is sexual assault is if he's mentally challanged then age doesn't play that much of a factor but this is a moot point anyway. Sugar Ray didn't mind a guy sucking his dick. It is what it is. Move on.

    This poster that refers to herself as boss is as queer as a three dollar bill, folks.

    Somebody remove that picture of Chris Henry in drag from his signature. It's hurting my eyes.

    Seeing as how it says in the book that there was an incident when he was 15, I was able to determine that 15 is less than 18.

    Wow, so teenagers, being groomed and taken advantage of, are automatically consenting homosexuals? Try saying this to Sheldon Kennedy and Theoren Fleury. This type of thing is devastating to a kid, and the ignorance here from a few people is quite surprising.

    There's a reason why there are laws against this sort of thing. I guess some people just don't understand or don't want to understand.
     
  29. This thread is a microcosm of the boxing world's opinion on this matter and it proves what I said initially:

    "Sugar" Ray should have kept his mouth shut!!

    I think you meant the coach should have kept his mouth shut.
