So here are some of the other ways I verified it.
We conducted a forensic digital examination of Paul's letter to Mr.
Hudson's widow, which he wrote on his computer.
This analysis confirmed the document was created about a year after mister Hudson died, was written in twelve minutes, and hasn't been altered since.
mister Hudson's widow also confirmed that a boy lived with them around the same time that Paul told me he did.
I spoke to two of Paul's friends who were aware of the role Paul played in Mr.
Hudson's death and the ultimatum he gave his former mentor.
In our fact checks, both friends corroborated Paul's story.
They told me they were devastated for Paul.
It had been painful for them too, knowing how Paul has suffered for so long.
There are some things I cannot fact check, of course.
I can't confirm that mister Hudson confessed to abusing other boys to Paul during that walk they took and in their subsequent phone calls, or that mister Hudson called him as he was dying.
But Paul's account at every step matches what I've independently verified with the people he's confided in.
And a Seattle Times article quoted another former Garfield student who talked by phone with the teacher the night he died.
So it makes sense that mister Hudson could have called Paul as well.
Piecing Paul's story together hasn't been easy.
But he has put up with me.
Through hours of interviews and many invasive questions, because he wants to help other survivors.
He wants them to know there can be light on the other side of darkness and that it's possible to have a good life even after enduring years of childhood sexual abuse.
