Aaron Hernandez, a former Patriots of New England, was "sexually assaulted as a child," according to a survey report released by the Boston Globe on Saturday.
The Boston Globe Spotlight Team, which interviewed family, friends, former teammates and recorded nearly 300 phone calls to prison by Hernandez, released Saturday the first installment of their six-episode Aaron series.
History covers many areas, including childhood and family life, drug use, sexuality, and more.
Hernandez – who played for the Patriots from 2010 to 2012 – has committed suicide while he was in prison in Massachusetts in 2017. His lawyer suggested that the suicide was due to chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. The researchers discovered that Hernandez had one of the most advanced CTE cases on a player as young as Hernandez.
Hernandez was serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for the murder of Odin Lloyd in 2013. He died just five days after being found not guilty of a double homicide committed in 2012.
Hernandez "sexually assaulted as a child"
Jonathan Hernandez, Aaron's only brother, told the Globe that his brother had told him that he had been sexually assaulted as a child. One of Aaron's lawyers also confirmed that he talked about sexual abuse during his childhood.
However, neither Jonathan nor his attorney was willing to identify who had mistreated Aaron and refused to say more.
Abuse at home
Jonathan told the Globe that he and his brother "lived in constant fear of their father's blows" while growing up in Bristol, Connecticut. Once, Jonathan was reminded that he had threatened to call the police for help after one of the beatings.
This, he said, only made things worse.

Their father, Dennis, died in the first year of Aaron High School.
Early drug use
Dennis SanSouice, one of Aaron's high school teammates, told The Globe that they smoked "a lot of marijuana – before school, training and after games".
He recalled a case where Aaron and he were walking near high school on the first day of their junior year when they were "cooked".
Aaron's relationship with SanSouice
SanSouice revealed to the Globe that he had had a "sexual relationship from time to time" with Aaron during his middle and high school studies.

While they were concealing their relationship to the world, Aaron and SanSouice knew they had to keep the secret about Aaron's father.
