Lonnie Walker IV of the San Antonio Spurs has revealed he was sexually abused when he was young.

On Thursday in an Instagram post, Walker revealed that he was sexually abused when he was young."The real truth as to why I started doing this early 5th grade, it was a cloaking device for me," Walker said."During the summer of my 5th grade year I was around more family. Some that names will be left alone I was around more. I was sexually harassed, raped, abused, I even got accustomed to it because being at that age you don't know what is what," Walker wrote.

Time doesn't wait on anyone so why should I waste my time on it ? Me cutting my hair was more than a cut. My hair was a mask of me hiding the insecurity's that I felt the world wasn't ready for. But now better then ever. Out with old. In with the new. I have shed my skin mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Life will always be hard. Gotta play with the cards your dealt with and try and make a winning hand. And if you lose. It's never a lost.

My prayers go out to you. Sorry for what happened.

This is sad. Imagine if it was your child ? You didn't see it. You missed it. Now what are you going to do? It happens and there should be a heavy price to pay for those who deceive and molest children. It's nothing to joke on.

By a woman or a man ? because if it’s a woman dude you a whole L out here.

Monsters who sexually abuse children should be jailed for the rest of their lives.

I’m so sorry that happened to him, but I’m sure his willingness to discuss it openly will help a lot of other people.

Amazing bravery to share his story

That takes bravery to step forward. Well done Lonnie 🖤
