Ct wilson a maryland state delegate from the waldorf area and a short time ago, he sat down with scott broom in annapolis to talk about what hes done. Scott . Reporter well, people here in annapolis fellow legislators are still picking up their jaws after what happened in front of this committee back on march 18th. This was supposed to be routine testimony about a child abuse, Sexual Assault reform bill. Instead, ct wilson shocked everyone by telling the secret of what happened to him when he was a little boy. I want to really really want to be here. Reporter delegate wilson uncomfortable. Anxious. From the age of about 9 to 15. I went from what was a difficult life to a downright hell. Reporter and then as seen on this youtube video, he said it. After the physical abuse will come the sexual abuse. For the slightest mistake. I cant sit here and describe to you the pain of being betten and molested for years and theres no amount of counseling or talking thats going to bring me back to normal. I know that. I could have gone the rest of my life without talking about this. Reporter in his office today, wilson said he did it to lead the way for others who are hesitating to testify.

The rigorous debate continues over indianas religious freedom law but virginia and many other states as well as the federal government have a similar law on the books. Stephanie ramirez joins us now live from the newsroom and how is virginias law different from indianas . Reporter thats the exact question i posed to a virginia professor who works at george mason university. And he says the difference is in the wording. Virginias religious freedom restoration act zizania man shall be compelled to frequent says no man shall be compelled to frequent worship in its wording. Indianas protects a Government Entity from substantially burdening a persons exercise of religion. Free exercise of religion is almost like a card that says get out of jail free. You may discriminate if you can base it on the religion that you practice. Reporter and professor frank sharprock says theres no such corporations in virginias or the federal law that sparked so many on the state level. I think its dangerous because it puts into the right into the hands of private parties the ability backed by the state to specifically discriminate against certain americans. Reporter all kinds of dirt americans sounding off today saying it doesnt just affect the lgbt community. Its any group of people. If you threaten one you threaten them all. What the somebody somebody doesnt like short women and you know their religion says ooh women should be in the kitchen you know. You get the idea. Religion can cite anything. As an american, im offended. As an indiana resident i would be offended. Reporter while indiana now tries to clarify this, he says from his perspective its creating lots of discussions. And i think that discussion is going to end up being positive. At least i hope it is. Reporter now this doesnt mean virginias hands are entirely clean.
