Well they don’t really make all The facts here. But it seems like the falwell’s got involved in some kind of financial relationship with sky? And he later threatened to blackmail them. So he may only be coming forward because he realized the third party was going to expose him his family anyway
I finally read the article, and the man in question has already spoken up; apparently, they have been dealing with him for quite some time over the idea of extortion. As for Dr. and Mrs. Falwell, there is a certain culture that comes with money, in which other forms of “prosperity” and licence seem to entangle people. Some former Christian greats seemed to avoid it, like Billy Graham, living in the same house, instead of building mansions, etc., having the ability to exercise self control, and so on. But their offspring haven’t done so well in that direction. They’ve never gone without, and their parents indulged them too much. I don’t know if that’s what happened to Dr. and Mrs. Falwell, but I know it’s common in his generation.
