Scott Brown's tale of being molested as a child has opened the door for another victim to step forward. A second man has reported being molested at the Christian camp in Massachusetts where U.S. Senator Scott Brown, said he was fondled as a child.

Brown described the molestation in his autobiography, "Against All Odds," which was published in February. He did not name the camp, but Camp Good News in Sandwich, Mass., on Cape Cod said it has sent Brown a letter apologizing for the abuse, The Boston Globe reported.

Mitchell Garabedian, a lawyer representing a 36-year-old man who says he was molested at the camp, told the Globe he has referred the case to prosecutors in the Cape and Islands district. Garabedian said the employee his client has identified as his abuser still works at the camp.

Hope Willard Brooks, daughter of the camp's founder and now its deputy director, said she was "horrified" by the abuse allegations. But she said in the 1970s and 1980s camp operators were less careful about preventing abuse of children.

First Assistant District Attorney Brian Glenny said other calls about the camp have come in since Brown's book appeared. He would not say whether they all involved sexual abuse.

Brown has no interest in pursuing a criminal case, a spokeswoman said.

"He has made it clear that he does not have any scores to settle," Gail Gitcho, his communications director, said. "This is part of his life, but it is not all of his life."
