Summary:
His dream of playing hockey was stolen from him by charismatic hockey coach and sexual predator Graham James. Greg Gilhooly describes in anguishing detail the mental torment he suffered both during and long after the abuse and the terrible reality behind the sanitized term "sexual assault." Although James has been convicted of sexually assaulting some of his victims, including Sheldon Kennedy and Theo Fleury, he neither confessed in court nor was convicted of sexually assaulting many of his other victims, including Gilhooly, depriving him of the judicial closure he craved. Gilhooly also provides a valuable legal perspective, as both a victim and a lawyer, and he delivers a powerful indictment of a legal system that, he argues, does not adequately deal with serial sexual child abuse or allocate enough resources to the rehabilitation of the victim. Greg Gilhooly is a graduate of Princeton University and the University of Toronto, Faculty of Law. He lives in Oakville, Ontario.
