Patrice Evra, a former Manchester United and French national soccer team star, says he wants to use his platform to address violence against children after detailing sexual abuse he says he received as a teenager.
In his autobiography 'I Love This Game' (I love this game).
Evra writes about the abuse that he says took place when he stayed at a teacher's house to reduce his commute to school.
Evra never filed a police report about the abuse and says he denied it happened when he was approached by police when he was 24 years old.
CNN Sports Senior Analyst Darren Lewis spoke with Evra recently about the sexual assault.
