Suspect in Graham Case Had Allegedly Raped Girl At Liberty University
September 25, 2014
ACCORDING to The Daily Mail:
Jesse ‘LJ’ Matthew, the man charged with the abduction of missing UVA student Hannah Graham, was accused of rape when he studied at Liberty University, MailOnline can exclusively reveal.
Matthew was expelled from the Christian university founded by Jerry Falwell in Lynchburg, Virginia, in 2002, following the alleged sex attack on a female student but was not charged with any crime, former teammates said.
Police announced last night that Matthew was arrested in Galveston, Texas, after going on the run. He appeared in court there this morning charged with Hannah’s abduction ‘with intent to defile’ and is awaiting extradition to Virginia.
As a gifted football player, ‘LJ’ – as he likes to be known – won a sports scholarship to Liberty University after he was named Charlottesville’s ‘Athlete of the Year’ in 1999.
