You must remember he was a journalist at the time and he took the time to talk to him about work or whatever. I don’t know how long it went on before it became sexual, but I know the first time it happened was in his office, and he was going to be on the air in a few hours.”

“There was like a mood swing, almost an expectation that something was going to happen, and it did,” the anonymous source explained. “They had sex and I know he was confused afterwards about what that meant. ‘Did that really happen?’ feelings I mean that’s pretty risky behavior on his part.”
