In many, perhaps most, cases of sexual abuse, especially those that have been written about almost daily in recent news, the victims are a type: young, ambitious women, beholden in some way to older men who take advantage of their power over these women. That’s one stereotype that’s faithful to the reality. Abuse is about power. However, it doesn’t always look like what people may expect. Take, for example, actor Terry Crews.
Known for playing ripped men of action with a comedic touch, Crews is not what anyone would picture as a sexual harassment victim… Then he tells his story, forcing everyone to reconsider what abuse can be, and just how pervasive it is. Once again, it’s about power over others.
According to multiple media reports, Crews filed a police report with the Los Angeles Police Department pertaining to his previous comments about sexual assault by an “unidentified high-level Hollywood executive.”
Speaking to co-host Michael Strahan on Good Morning America, Crews identified the alleged assailant as Adam Venit, further elaborating that the alleged assault took place last year during a Hollywood party. Crews said Venit “groped” him openly at the event, which Crews attended with his wife, Rebecca King-Crews. Venit is a real power player in Hollywood, with ties to Eddie Murphy, Sylvester Stallone, and Adam Sandler.
