Grosso says he was teen victim of sexual abuse by priest
D.C. Council member David Grosso (I-At-Large), a strong supporter of LGBTQ rights, disclosed in a statement on Monday that his decision not to run for re-election this year was heavily influenced by emotional scars that resurfaced when Virginia prosecutors recently uncovered evidence against a former Catholic priest who allegedly sexually abused Grosso when Grosso was 14 years old in Purcellville, Va.
