I DON’T SEE HELEN MUCH over the next several days but when I do, we mainly talk about the case. It seems that Gladys’ undercover work has paid off in large and lasting dividends.
Unfortunately, it turns out that Gladys was not entirely correct about Davenport never being coercive. Nate uncovered a string of complaints filed and then withdrawn from various young men and women on campuses where he had previously taught. The complaints range from his “being fresh” to making suggestive comments to a few actual physical attacks. Because he was careful enough never to leave bruises, the latter were hard to prove and easy to cover up, especially with the help of some less than stellar local law enforcement units.
Because of Gladys’ involvement in the case, she is having to rely on a tech person
