And then at that event, he told me, like, email me sometime and we'll connect before you make any final decisions on where you go to college.

I followed up with him over email and he invited me to come see a play at UCO.

I was a high school senior at the time, 17, communicating with this man that I don't really know, which looking back now is really strange because there was no parent supervision or teacher supervision.

But I go see this guy.

play.

I drove separately, showed up to UCO.

They didn't know what to expect.

I didn't have much details.

As we're walking in, he looks at me and says, I've never brought a student to a UCO production before.

Everyone's probably wondering why you're here with me and who you are and why you're so special.

And I remember feeling really special at the time.

And now I think about it, I'm like, that's so fucking creepy to say to a 17 year old, this like 50 year old man.

We went, sat together, watched the play, and he kept mentioning how special I was that he had chosen me to partake in this life-changing event.

I think that's like a pattern.

The recruitment events and then trips, I think he really used to his advantage to enact this grooming on young girls.

I also think there's a through line of not having super present parents.

I think he definitely used those events to target people that he thought he could victimize.

I think we chatted for a minute after the show and he may have introduced me to another professor there who is fantastic.

I think that was it.

At that play is when I told him I decided to come to UCO.
