“as part of her duties as a member of the Program Board, she waited in the hallway of the Student Union Building opposite the room to which the band members were taken after their performance”
Translation into rock,,, the groupies (ahem,,program board members) were taken to what would normally be the “hospitality room”, to meet the band. She was there for fun,,,period. And she found more fun than she wanted. She was there to party,, but a little less than him. True _business_ from the program board would be done through the management or road crew.
She wanted to have fun with the rock star, he probably thought she had plaster too. Sounds like a pretty embarrassing misunderstanding IMO. But a “sex offender opens for Obama” headline just makes us look stupid here.
I worked a number of rock shows during that time, but not this one. I never observed employees being sexually assaulted or abused like what took place at this show.
