Gangs, childhood abuse and a secret double life: Elliot McLaren Pt.1

Comedian Elliot McLaren was sexually abused as a child for years.
To escape the trauma, he robbed houses, joined street gangs and
turned to alcohol. By the age of 12, he was a drug addict.


Soon he became homeless, lived in a mob house and became a stand
over man - all the while he was hiding a secret he thought would
destroy his life.
