Abuse Knows No Gender: Famous Men Who Were Sexually Assaulted

- By

Scott Weiland

Scott Weiland became an international star as the Stone Temple Pilots frontman. He’s lived a very public life filled with ups and downs and a few rehab stints to kick his heroin habit. During a session with his therapist, Weiland finally revealed that he had been raped as a 12-year-old boy. His assailant was a high school senior who tricked a young Weiland into coming over his house where he was raped. “This is a memory I suppressed until only a few years ago when, in rehab, it came flooding back,” the rocker wrote in his memoir. “Therapy will do that to you.”
