CHICAGO (WLS) -- The former Chicago Blackhawks player at the center of the sexual assault investigation that unraveled the team's front office spoke out for the first time Wednesday.

Kyle Beach, 31, was drafted by the Blackhawks in 2008. He chose to speak out about what happened to him.

Beach came forward and asked that his identity be revealed on TSN in Canada. He spoke about the last decade of his life, and shared an emotional message to victims of sexual abuse.

"I know I'm not the only one," Beach said. "Male or female. And I buried this for 10 years. 11 years. And it's destroyed me, from the inside out. And I want everyone in the sports world, and the world, to know that you're not alone."

( The monster and his enablers should be rotting in jail. )

1. It's sad how Beach blamed himself for his assaulter preying on other subsequent victims.

That entire ~30 minute interview with Beach on TSN was emotionally powerful and difficult/impossible to watch without tearing up.

2. Same here, I cried for him.

So many of these monsters are enabled by the structure of these leagues...disgusting.
