What a disgusting creep. Ugh. Thoughts and prayers to his victims… both the ones who have come forward and any who have not.
This is a bunch of crap. He lured FOUR students into his room, overpowered them all, and raped them one at a time??? Baloney. These kids want money because he is famous. I don’t buy it.
Misty, maybe you should try brushing up on your reading comprehension. He was accused of raping four students, not ‘four students at one time’….big difference, don’t you think?
Hey Nicole, I’m not taking sides but maybe you should read carefully as well, she said “one at a time”….
