Actually, i am not the one who said these girls approached him in THAT manner, Leslie. The Chief of Richardson Police and the Superintendent for RISD are the ones who said it. You can watch a replay of the press conference they held the day after his arrest, or you can read the affidavits for his case, if you like. They are all available online….
