Omar Vizquel, a former MLB All-Star, has broken his silence more than two years after being accused of sexual assault by an autistic batboy. Allegations against the now 56-year-old first appeared in 2021, just after he was first accused of domestic violence in late 2020. When he was managing the Chicago White Sox's Class AA team in Alabama in 2019, he was sued by the former batboy for reportedly bullying. Vizquel was accused of "sexually offensive conduct" in which the batboy was compelled to wash his back. He was initially suspended by the White Sox before being dismissed at the end of the season.
