How is it possible a boy was being molested in a locker room filled with players and no one even knew?

Lisa Ling, host of "Our America," takes Leeronnie Ogletree through what happened when he was molested as a little boy by Boston Red Sox clubhouse manager Donald James Fitzpatrick.

My mugshot from 2005...the judge in this case violated me because I had been having too many visitors at my home.  This is the same judge who only sentenced child molester and the man who changed my life forever, Donald James Fitzpatrick, to 15 years 15 years' probation and a 10-year sus pended prison sentence in Polk County Circuit Court.

Hold MLB accountable

The story of Leeronnie Ogletree is one that needs to be told.  It is time the events which took place in his life cease being ignored and people need to make themselves accountable.

There is  reality in baseball which is being ignored.  People are being portrayed as something other than what they really are.  It is time to let the truth be told.  Everything needs to be on the table.  There is a side to Major league baseball that it must be my destiny to tell about.  I lived it and saw it and now have to tell it to everyone I can.  Humans are flawed.  They have defects.  We must be able to see people as who they are.  We must be able to accept our defects and not attempt to conceal them.  I spent years hiding my shame with drugs.  Now I want to let others know that the most important thing they can do is tell the truth.  I was around someone who took advantage of the way major league baseball operates.  If it has done nothing to correct those flaws, then there are people who still can exploit those flaws today.  I have to make sure that does not happen.  Major League Baseball needs to be responsible for the children it attracts.
