That. Is. Huge. News.

In a claim likely to intensify the controversy surrounding one of the most influential figures in the American Christian conservative movement, a business partner of Jerry Falwell Jr has come forward to say he had a years-long sexual relationship involving Falwell’s wife and the evangelical leader.
Giancarlo Granda says he was 20 when he met Jerry and Becki Falwell while working as a pool attendant at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel in March 2012. Starting that month and continuing into 2018, Granda told Reuters that the relationship involved him having sex with Becki Falwell while Jerry Falwell looked on.
Granda showed Reuters emails, text messages and other evidence that he says demonstrate the sexual nature of his relationship with the couple, who have been married since 1987. “Becki and I developed an intimate relationship and Jerry enjoyed watching from the corner of the room,” Granda said in an interview. Now 29, he described the liaisons as frequent – “multiple times per year” – and said the encounters took place at hotels in Miami and New York, and at the Falwells’ home in Virginia.
His friendship with the Falwells eventually soured, Granda told Reuters, in part because he wanted to dissolve his ties with the couple and fell into a business dispute with them.

I might have cut the guy some slack if it had only been a case of a cheating wife. But when I read that he had watched, I'm not so inclined. Absent some sort of revelation that gives him a reasonable explanation, I will not defend the guy at all.

I'd cut them all some slack if they would just come out and say, 'Yeah, maybe, but it's none of your fucking business'. These things to try to duck blame and get sympathy ever work out. I would have respected Clinton a lot more had he done that.

I dunno much about Jerry. I hear his dad was a big deal, but don't specifically know why.
The interesting bit seems to be that he's the head of a religious university. Students of that university get monetarily penalized for moral infractions (that's my understanding).
Feels a bit wrong to have this guy leading that.
