Up until now it's been mostly a "sports" story, so I wasn't paying much attention either. Until I read the grand jury statement. Which is why this article is so brilliant. Yes, these descriptions are graphic and triggery. It's so much more polite to say "sex scandal" and "charges of sexual abuse." Those are easy phrases to ignore, pretty euphemisms for the apologists to hide behind. "The head of a youth charity got caught fucking ten year olds in the football team's locker room on three separate occasions and the University responded by taking away his keys to the locker room" is a lot harder to ignore.
