Peter O'Brian Tuesday, March 24, 2015 7:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. $45 +HST On February 7, the Globe and Mail published Peter O'Brian's story about how he had been sexually assaulted as a school boy. It took him 50 years to breathe a word about it to anyone beyond his wife, Carolyn Bennett, MD, MP. Peter is not one of society's natural victims: he's the Chair of TVO, the winner of a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Direc- tors Guild of Canada, and was the inaugural Executive Director of the Canadian Film Centre. But even he (especially he) has carried his terrible secret about something that still victimizes so many people -- precisely because no one wants to talk about it.
