The former defender of the French football team, Patrice Evra, has decided to speak. In a book to be published Thursday, October 28, he reveals to have been the victim of sexual assault, at the age of 13.
Patrice Evra is currently promoting his autobiography, I Love This Game. Between two smiles, the former captain of the Blues evokes a dark page in his personal history. The footballer was sexually assaulted when he was a teenager. The English daily The Times published some extracts from his story. “I was ashamed to admit that I was sexually abused. But I don’t want other kids to feel this“, writes the footballer in particular.
The facts happened when Patrice Evra was 13 years old. He was staying three nights a week with one of his teachers. “Believing I was sleeping he ran his hands under my quilt and tried to touch me […]. He was trying at all costs to take my pants off. The last night at his house, when he knew I was going to go home, he finally got it. He put my penis in his mouth“Says the sportsman again. Patrice Evra convinced his mother to keep him away from the professor, without explaining why. He confessed to him the facts two weeks ago. Saturday, October 23, England welcomes his testimony.
