From Childhood Sexual Abuse Victim To National Champion
DENVER November 19, 2019: Vinnie Curto was born in East Boston, Massachusetts on July 10, 1955. His father, Jimmy Curto, was a raving, sick, alcoholic homosexual. Vinnie’s father and his drunken friends sexually abused young Vinnie, frequently raping him and performing other deviant sexual acts on him, while his mother, Loretta, stood by and let it happen.
When Vinnie was fourteen, his father forced him to pursue a boxing career. Jimmy Curto told his son that the only way he could ever be proud of him is if he won a boxing championship. He said if Vinnie failed in that, his only other alternative would be to commit suicide. To make his point, Jimmy produced a handgun and made Vinnie hold it in his hands. It is a memory that has haunted Vinnie for years.
Vinnie Curto was a viciously abused child from the streets of Boston. Ironically, the monster who abused him got him into Boxing. Fighting his way through the mob/underworld, and a hidden desire not to please his nemesis, Vinnie finally won his World Championship at age 41, for himself.
Dennis N. Griffin has written several books on the true stories of the Las Vegas mob and the era in which they reigned. In 2007 Denny began hosting his own Internet radio show on Blog Talk Radio.
