Overview
Stone Temple Pilot frontman Scott Weiland has revealed that he was raped when he was 12.
The former Velvet Revolver star makes the admission in his new memoir, Not Dead & Not For Sale, which has been syndicated by Spin.
In the book, Weiland says he was raped by a "big muscular guy, a high school senior... [who] rode the bus with me every day to school... invited me to his house”.
He added: “It was quick, not pleasant. I was too scared to tell anyone. 'Tell anyone,' he warned, 'and you'll never have another friend in this school. I'll ruin your f*ckin' reputation'.”
Weiland says in the book that he suppressed the memory until a recent stint in rehab, when “it came flooding back”.
