Actor and former football player Terry Crews struggled on Tuesday to tell a Senate committee his story of sexual abuse.

“A lot of people don’t believe that a person like me could actually be victimized,” Crews said. “What happened to me has happened to many, many other men in Hollywood.”

Over the past year, a number of celebrities and advocates have testified on Capitol Hill about sexual abuse. Crews shared his story before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday in a hearing about the Survivors’ Bill of Rights.

Crews, known for his role in the television show “Brooklyn 99,” got emotional in an exchange with ranking member Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., after she asked why he didn’t try to stop his abuser.
