Disgraced Penn State coach’s son, Nicole Brown Simpson’s sister will join Utah march against child abuse Saturday

The son of an infamous Penn State assistant football coach; the sister of murder victim Nicole Brown Simpson; and a woman who was twice abducted will be keynote speakers at Saturday’s March to End Child Abuse in Salt Lake City.

“What is about to happen here in Salt Lake City will be epic,” promised Sam Young, the leader of Protect Every Child, which is sponsoring the event. “It will launch the equivalent of a civil rights movement of our time.”

Young, a former bishop in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was excommunicated after he pushed to end the practice of lay leaders having one-one-one interviews with children, which sometimes included sexually explicit questions.
