Liberty University student claims Christian school president's wife Becki Falwell was 'the aggressor' and climbed into bed with him and performed oral sex on him when he stayed at her home after band practice with her son
A former Liberty University student who played in a band with Becki Falwell’s son claims she performed oral sex on him and pursued him on Facebook for months when he was 22.
The scandals surrounding evangelist Jerry Falwell Jr and his wife Becki deepened on Thursday when an unnamed man came forward to claim he had a sexual encounter with Becki in 2008 when he was a student, according to Politico report published Thursday.
Falwell Jr resigned as president of Liberty University, one of the nation's largest evangelical Christian colleges, on Tuesday after a pool boy came forward alleging he had a six-year affair with the Falwells.
In the sexual encounter, the former student said he had finished band practice with the Falwell's eldest son Trey and was at the Falwell home in Cifax, Virginia when Becki allegedly jumped into bed with him and began to perform oral sex on him.
He claimed her husband, the president of Liberty University who resigned this week, was away at the time.

The former student who says Becki Falwell pursued him was in a band with the Falwell's eldest son Trey Falwell
He said that he gave in to her advances but rejected her later ones when she pursued him with gifts and chit chat on Facebook messages.
'She was the aggressor,' he said on the relationship.
A fellow bandmate, who was unnamed in the report, said the former student told him about the encounter with Becki a month later.
That bandmate said Becki would flirt with the former student during band practices while her son was present.
The former student provided screenshots of messages Becki sent him that suggest a flirtatious relationship.
In one message she said: ' 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.'

According to Politico after months of chasing the former student she wrote to him: 'Maybe time will heal whatever wounds that I have caused and your Christian heart will allow you to forgive me.'
The former student, who is now 34, says he hasn’t heard from Becki Falwell in more than eight years until this week when the pool boy scandal with Giancarlo Granda broke out.
He said she texted him to say hello and share her agony on the scandal.
She texted him Monday night: 'This is a nightmare. It just keeps getting worse.'
Becki and Jerry Falwell Jr have dismissed the former student's claims as 'false and fantanstic claims'.
'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,' they said in a statement to the outlet.
Liberty University said no students registered sexual misconduct claims with the university against Becki.
'This is a fresh allegation, as far as we can tell,' Scott Lamb, the vice president of the nation’s largest evangelical university in Lynchburg, Virginia said.

He stressed the school’s 'policies against employees having sexual relationships with students, as well as having other inappropriate relationships outside of marriage, whether consensual or not.'
'Becki Falwell was an employee in 2008 and such policies would have fully applied to her as spouse of the then-university Chancellor and President,' he added.
At Liberty University, students aren’t allowed to have sex outside of marriage.
Those that do risk punishment including expulsion. Like many other Christian institutions, the school views premarital sex as a sin.
Jerry Falwell Jr stepped down as president of Liberty University on Tuesday, two days after a man named Giancarlo Granda came forward saying he had a six-year affair with Becki and Jerry would watch them have sex.
He said he was 20 when he met the pair in Miami when he was a pool boy and that starting in March 2012, he had sex with Falwell's wife Becki several times a year in hotel rooms, sometimes while Falwell Jr. watched, until 2018.
Falwell said in a statement Sunday his wife was involved in the affair but he was not.
