Jerry Falwell Jr. Resigns from Liberty U Following Scandal
Daily Mail ^ | 08-24-2020 | Staff

Jerry Falwell Jr. has resigned as president of Liberty University after a pool boy claimed the evangelist watched while he had sex with his wife.

A school official confirmed on Monday - the first day of classes for students - that Falwell had agreed to resign, the Washington Post reports.

He had already taken an indefinite leave of absence earlier this month after a photo of himself with his pants unzipped, standing with his arm around a young woman whose pants were also partly undone, was shared online.

His resignation comes after Giancarlo Granda, 29, spoke out on Monday in an interview with Reuters where he contradicted Falwell Jr's claims that he was trying to extort the pair and had an affair with his wife, and gave more details about his alleged sexual relationship with them.

He said he was 20 when he met the pair in Miami and that starting in March 2012, he had sex with Falwell's wife Becki several times a year in hotel rooms, sometimes while Falwell Jr. watched, until 2018.

'Becki and I developed an intimate relationship and Jerry enjoyed watching from the corner of the room,' Giancarlo said.

During that time, the trio went into business together with an LGBTQ-friendly hostel in Miami that Giancarlo runs.

Thanks so much, Larry. A first-rate educator with a first-hand experience. I toured Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan with the son of an engineer/automotive work friend. He was thinking of going there (don’t remember if he did) I was extremely impressed. No government funding. I still get and read Imprimis. I drove back out there by myself a year or so later and listened to a guest speaker in a packed auditorium. His topic was “Taxation”. I forgot his name.
When I was subbing in the local school system in the ‘90s 3-5 of the educators had graduated from Hillsdale. They were very impressive educators.

BUMP!

However, it’s harder for Protestants to recover from this. We Catholics are already pretty cynical.

Naaah, we're pretty cynical too.

I'd actually heard stuff about Jerry, Jr. before this.

Nope, just answering a question from another poster.

Hillsdale is a great liberal arts college.

Its weakness is that it doesn’t have a business school or engineering school.

Thank you. I did not know that. Those are very, very important subjects. My lifelong learning is invaluable.

You’ve heard of this...(how clever of THEM)...

Not reliable, deceitful PROGRAMMING.

Free Republic has many RELIABLE SOURCES who you can count on and question back and forth without commercial interruption...or someone else talking over you for as long as you both want.

One example...

Lifelong learning in a Free Republic. How GREAT is that?

Thanks JimRob.

10 million dollar pay out. He must not have a moral clause in his contract.

A bunch of sick perverts get off with a pay day again
