Could be.
I don't know. After reading those IMs, I would be so disgusted that I would go on every TV network in the free world to proclaim my innocence. A charge like that simply cannot go unanswered. Unless its true, of course.
I'm sure it will all be sorted out in time...
I hope all these im's were just to the 18 year old....then all the media did was embarrass a man from a private LEGAL conversation......
