Some of the time, he messaged me late around evening time, mentioning selfies. It caused me to feel awkward and I would have rather not.”
Wu says she would attempt to ignore his advances or divert discussion, however maker’s activities strengthened at a Lakers game he forced her to join in, at which he put a hand on her uncovered thigh. “Your skin is so smooth,” she recalls that him saying, prior to sliding his hand up and brushing her groin.

That is the way I wound up gripping the gallery railing of my fifth-floor loft.”
