BOSTON (AP) ? A man who had his "dream job" working in the Red Sox clubhouse as a teenager says that ended abruptly when the clubhouse manager sexually assaulted him.
Charles Crawford is one of two Massachusetts men accusing Donald Fitzpatrick of abusing them in the early 1990s.
Crawford said at a news conference Monday that Fitzpatrick assaulted him twice in the clubhouse at Fenway Park.
The statute of limitations has expired for filing a lawsuit or seeking criminal charges against Fitzpatrick, who died in 2005. Both men are asking for $5 million settlements.
In 2002, Fitzpatrick pleaded guilty in Florida to attempted sexual battery on a child under 12. The following year, the team settled a lawsuit with seven Florida men who said Fitzpatrick molested them during spring training beginning in the 1970s.
