Becki Falwell accused of climbing into bed and performing oral sex on son's friend after band practice in 2008
It seems that the Falwells sex scandal is getting bigger and bigger each day. First, a pool boy, named Giancarlo Granda, came forward and accused Jerry Falwell Jr’s wife Becki of having sex with him. He also alleged that the former Liberty University president watched their intimate moments sometimes. Now, an ex-student of the evangelical Christian university has alleged that Becki had performed oral sex on him while he stayed at their home in 2008.
The fresh allegations came on Thursday, August 27, when the former student who has not revealed his name claimed that he had a sexual encounter with the mother-of-three when he was still studying at the university. Politico reported that the unidentified man after finishing his band practice with the Falwell's eldest son Trey was staying at the family’s home in Cifax, Virginia when Becki allegedly jumped into bed with him and performed oral sex on him. The man, who is 34-year-old now, also said that Jerry was not at home when the incident happened.
The ex-student said that after the initial encounter when he was 22, Becki tried to continue it and also pursued him with gifts and chit chat on Facebook messages, but he declined her offer. “She was the aggressor,” he said of the relationship.
The alumnus of the university said there were occasions when he stayed at Falwell’s home, especially when he and Trey spent the night playing music and drinking some whiskey. One night [in August or September], we were up till one or two, and we went back to his room. We had a decent amount of Jack Daniels,” the man said, adding he then went to the restroom, which was next to Trey’s bedroom. “I’m laying in the bed and I hear, like, giggling to the side of me on the floor. And, pardon my French, but I was like, ‘What the fuck is that?’ I look over and it’s Becki. Just, you know, in my room. I’m like, ‘You can’t be in here. This can’t happen,’” the ex-student said. But he stated that somehow he managed to send Becki out of the room.
A few nights later, the anonymous man had to again stay at the Falwells’ place. He claimed that Becki again came into the guest room while he was in bed. She allegedly climbed into bed with him and took down his pants. “I was like, ‘uh, what are you doing?” the ex-student said while the 55-year-old began to give him oral sex.
The man said he did not open about the incident before everyone since he believed it would rust the legacy of Jerry Falwell Sr, who was the first president of the University. “I respect Jerry Sr. and what he did for the school, for the kids, and I believe the Lord had a mission on his life to do that,” he said.
A fellow bandmate of the former student, whose name is also not provided in the Politico report, said that he told him about the encounter a month later. “It made [him] feel bad. It was a depressing thing; he struggled with depression (afterward),” the former bandmate said.
The ex-student also shared screenshots of messages that Becki sent him, which seemed flirtatious. One of her messages read: “[Redacted] said that she wants you to cut bangs when you get your hair cut. I think that you are beautiful just like you are. You don’t want to cover up those killer eyes of yours and you know the bandana drives me wild… oh well, do whatever YOU want to do. Now you have my two cents.”
The former student said the contact between him and Becki eventually stopped and he has not heard from her in over eight years, before this week when the pool boy scandal came into the light. “This is a nightmare. It just keeps getting worse,” Becki reportedly texted him on August 24 night, hours before her husband resigned on Tuesday, August 25.
The man also said that he now decided to come forward with his story because he believed Jerry’s wife is abusing her powerful position. “Usually I think about a middle-aged man grooming someone. It’s funny how it happened with the whole, ‘Me Too’ [movement]. I’m on the other end of the spectrum [from] men harassing women. I found [that] a lot of the traits that these guys had, (Falwell0 had as well,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Falwells have denied the former student’s accusations and said in a statement to Politico: “It is unfortunate that the coverage of our departure has turned into a frenzy of false and fantastic claims about us. These false and mean spirited lies have hurt us and our family greatly and we will respond fully with the truth at an appropriate time. At this time, however, we think it is best to move on and help the Liberty community focus on its very bright future…”
