TOWNSHEND WAS ABUSED BY SEA SCOUTS
THE WHO rocker PETE TOWNSHEND has revealed he was sexually abused as a child.
In a new excerpt from his upcoming autobiography, WHO HE?, which the guitarist has posted on his blog PeteTownshendWhoHe.Blogspot.com, Townshend recalls he was forced to shower naked before two men when he was 10 - as part of a Sea Scouts initiation.
He also implies that further sexual abuse followed, writing only that, "What followed needs no description." Townshend goes on to reveal the experience has affected him ever since.
In an earlier excerpt, the rocker revealed he was physically abused by his mentally ill grandmother at the age of six.
In January 2003, Townshend was arrested on suspicion of possessing child pornography, while researching his memoirs. He was cleared of the charges four months later.
Who He? is set to hit book stores in 2008.
