Ex-NFL Player Accuses High School Trainer of Sexual Assault

Former NFL player Shareece Wright has publicly alleged that he was sexually assaulted by a former Colton High School athletic trainer, joining six other former football players in a lawsuit against the school district and the trainer. Wright described multiple sexual encounters with the trainer during his junior year, prompting him to speak out due to concerns for his own children and the need to make the conversation about such abuse more comfortable. The trainer has denied the allegations, and an attorney representing Wright and other plaintiffs has highlighted a permissive school environment that could facilitate a cover-up of sexual abuse.
