'LAS VEGAS -- Domestic violence is not only a serious crime against women, it also affects a lot of men. According to the Department of Justice, more than 800,000 men in the U.S. become victims every year, but most don't report it due to shame.

One local man decided to break his silence, after years of alleged abuse. He wants to help other men come forward and get support.

Cornell McCrary says he endured more than four years of physical and verbal abuse from a woman he thought he wanted to marry. Today, that woman is behind bars and McCrary hopes she stays there for a long time.'
