John Wetteland, Yankees 1996 World Series MVP charged with sexual assault of a minor.

Accused of forcing a 4 year old to perform oral sex on him, then doing it twice with the child in later years. He is a born again Christian who was teaching baseball and bible studies at a Christian academy. Really sad shit, I hope the child can recover and live a half decent life.

Just made my stomach literally drop out the bottom of my gut. I just hope the child gets a lot of support. My best guess from the sketchy story is the child is now a teen or nearing teen years and likely just came to the realization that what happened was wrong and totally immoral.
