"Suicide was on my mind for years": Boxer Callum Hancock reveals shocking rape ordeal when he was 10 at the hands of 14-year-old school bully
Boxer Callum Hancock waived his right to anonymity so he could encourage other victims to speak out while Lyttle pleaded guilty in Derby Crown Court to buggery and incident assault
Boxer Callum Hancock has won many fights, but his toughest one was not inside the ring. He recently opened up about being raped at the tender age of 10 by a 14-year-old boy who bullied him. He also revealed that the trauma of the attack brought him close to suicide, reports the Daily Mail. Hancock was abused by Jason Lyttle, who told Hancock "this is what happens at big school" before raping him inside a play den near his childhood home in Sheffield about 17 years ago.
According to reports, Hancock waived his right to anonymity so that he could encourage other victims to speak out while Lyttle pleaded guilty in Derby Crown Court to buggery and two counts of incident assault. According to reports, he is currently awaiting sentencing.
