It should have been a triumphant NFL Sunday afternoon.
A mother and father brought their two young sons to watch the Houston Texans play the Arizona Cardinals at NRG Stadium on Dec. 14. It was the family’s first NFL game, which they attended with a group of friends from their Houston area youth football league.
Their oldest son, an outgoing 8-year-old who lives and breathes football, was especially excited. He loves the Kansas City Chiefs and hopes to play college football someday.
But his parents say their son’s gameday experience was corrupted when an Aramark employee allegedly pulled down the boy’s pants and attempted to sexually assault him in a stadium bathroom, according to a civil lawsuit the family filed Jan. 12 in Harris County, Texas.
“He’s been having some night terrors since then and asking questions like, “Why did God let this happen to me?’” the boy’s mother told USA TODAY.
