ANYONE who knows Bae KNOWS this is NOT in his character!! He was my instructor for 4 years at Troy University and this is NOT the type of man he was / is!

no

Ok, I read the article. First, you're right, he was my professor as well, and he would not hurt anyone. And two, the girl is 21, according to the paper. It's not like she was underage, therefore that is not a crime. Nor does the article allege rape, therefore that crime was not committed, either. So what exactly did he supposedly do that was illegal? Someone explain that to me?

Perhaps this young woman worked for him.

Since he is not the President of the United States, it would be illegal to have sexual relations with an employee--it is called sexual harassment (at least), and if sex was intimated as terms of employment--sex abuse.

The other possibility is that the young woman had regrets and merely alleged wrongdoing...allegations are good enough when leveled against a man in Dothan.
