John Sweeney – Sexual Assault victim who refuses to stand down… 40-years later

Sexual Assault is a plague among young boys and men almost as often as young girls and women. From the current revelations of sexual abuse in religious institutions and Hollywood comes John’s story of abuse at one of New England’s most prestigious boarding schools – The Fessenden School in Newton, Massachusetts.

From my friend, John’s book on Amazon Kindle comes the following from the book’s introduction:

“So while the school continues to boast of famous alumni—General George S. Patton, Howard Hughes, Ted Kennedy—Fessenden can now also boast of giving birth to a movement to eradicate the sexual abuse of children from every school, led by one of its less-heralded students, former Green Beret John Sweeney.”

John was offered a pay-off to go silent on his story. He refused it. That’s no surprise to me and those who know him. John’s goal is to see a nationwide 50-State change in the Statute of Limitations for sexual crimes.

Onward…
