DescriptionBOSTON (AP) — Sen. Scott Brown has revealed he was sexually abused as a child several times by a camp counselor and has detailed physical abuse by a stepfather.

The Republican senator from Massachusetts made the revelations in an interview to air Sunday night on the CBS program "60 Minutes."

Brown says the camp counselor threatened to kill him if he disclosed the sexual abuse.

"He said, 'If you tell anybody ... I'll kill you. I will make sure nobody believes you,'" Brown said in the interview.

Brown also said he looked into buying a home where his stepfather had physically abused him just so he could "burn it down."
