Former first round pick details horrific sexual abuse suffered in the QMJHL.

A shocking report published in a Montreal newspaper risks to rock the foundations of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.

A pair of players formerly of the Chicoutimi Saguenéens of the QMJHL have come forward to detail the horrific sexual abuse the suffered while members of that team, and one of those players has come forward and identified himself. Former QMJHL first round pick Carl Latulippe has broken his silence in the hopes of preventing any other young men for suffering a similar fate, one that he says stripped him of his love of hockey.

"My story is not exceptional," said Latulippe as per La Presse. "That's what makes me sick, it's that it is far from unique."

The accusations made by Latulippe, allegations that have thus far been corroborated by at least one of his former teammates, detail how he and other rookies were beaten with bars of soap in towels, as well as more sexual forms of abuse such as being forced to watch pornography and masturbate while in the presence of adult coaches.

Latulippe describes how the veterans would wrap the soap bars in the towels so that it wouldn't leave marks on their bodies, claiming that this happened on more than just one occasion

Latulippe says he was finally pushed over the edge during one of the team's first road trips of the season. That is where he says veteran players forced rookies to watch pornogrpahy and masturbate on the team bus, while the adults were on the bus.

In spite of being a first round pick in 1994, Latulippe would quit the team only weeks into the 1994-1995 QMJHL season as a result of the abuse he says he suffered at the hands of his own teammates.

The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League is now reportedly investigating these allegations, although none of the investigation's findings have been made public as of yet.
