	Abuse Victims, Kin Reach out to Brown By Mark Arsenault and Shelley Murphy Boston Globe February 22, 2011 http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2011/02/22/abuse__victims_kin__reach_out__to_brown/ WASHINGTON — Senator Scott Brown said yesterday that hundreds of victims of sexual abuse or their families have reached out to him in recent days, in response to revelations in his new autobiography that he was molested by a summer camp counselor more than 40 years ago. "I've received hundreds and hundreds of e-mails and phone calls and letters — my sister just texted me and said, 'I have to let you listen to this voicemail from this man who said he was abused as a kid and how you helped him address the situation,' " Brown said in an interview. "That's been very rewarding, to help people like that. Amen." In his book, "Against All Odds," which was released yesterday, the Republican senator from Massachusetts describes a hardscrabble upbringing punctuated by shoplifting sprees and beatings from abusive stepfathers. But the book's most shocking revelation is Brown's vivid description of being fondled by an adult male at a camp when he was 10 years old.
