Wife of (Oral Roberts) university president denies nights alone with 'underage male'
Edited on Mon Oct-15-07 02:48 PM by RamboLiberal
Source: CNN

The wife of the president of Oral Roberts University is denying allegations in a lawsuit that she spent the night in a university guest house with an "underage male" on nine occasions.

Lindsay Roberts, in a statement on the university's Web site, said the allegations against her "sicken me to my soul. ... I live my life in a morally upright manner and throughout my marriage have never, ever engaged in any sexual behavior with any man outside of my marriage as the accusations imply."

-----

The new allegations come in an amended version of the wrongful termination suit filed by three former professors, who say they lost their jobs after reporting that Roberts and his family lavishly spent school money for personal expenses.

The amended lawsuit, filed Friday, also alleges that the university gave a "convicted sexual deviant unrestricted access to students" while the man acted as a "mentor." The lawsuit also claims the university shredded evidence three days after the suit was filed against the school. The school denies both accusations in a statement on its Web site.

-----

It says that photos show her and an underage male smoking at the president's residence and that she "spent the night in the ORU guest house with an underage male on nine separate occasions." It also references 29 photos it says show her and an underage male alone in her car, time-stamped after midnight, despite a citywide 10 p.m. curfew for minors not with their parents.

2. Admit it Dear and be forgiven
In fact your typically christian hypocritical sex life could be a source of nationwide fundraising. Scamming widow ladies from coast to coast to send you a few bucks a month so you can get over this recent trauma no doubt perpetrated on you by evil libruls. A $25,000 clothes shopping spree should do the trip. Yo bitch, there is no doubt in this heathens mind what Jesus will do.

11. There are two things working here:
First are the allegations of a salacious nature, of which this is the current hot topic.

The second is the broader misuse of university funds. In that arena, one accusation is that the Roberts oversaw/managed a special scholarship fund for friends of theirs and their kids. I know of a recipient of one of those "friends" full rides. A girl, dumber than dirt, whose mother told us her 12 ACT was no matter because Mrs. Roberts thought the world of daughter and she would be getting a full ride. Da trooth.

Probably, its the latter category that might stick, in that audits/external review could result in finding that would threaten the 501(c)3 status. The biggest is the requirement that students work for the campaigns of conservative politicians.

32. Wow. Certainly NOT college material.
I bet the missus doesn't think of it is as sexual. She has probably deluded herself into thinking that it is something else.

16. I give it a week before Lindsay fesses up and heads into sex rehab.
I give it a week and 2 days before the RWNM declares it "a personal matter...and old news to boot."

21. No, no, no, alcohol rehab
Which makes her less culpable, "I was drunk and I didn't know what I was doing" or "I would do anything when I was drunk".

27. I think it is honorable that she was taking an active role in this young man's education.
A mentor if you will.

29. Just a few late-night tutoring sessions, I'm sure.
Since they have pictures, I guess she'll say it was biology they were studying.

34. A classic answer
Lindsay Roberts, in a statement on the university's Web site, said the allegations against her "sicken me to my soul. ... I live my life in a morally upright manner and throughout my marriage have never, ever engaged in any sexual behavior with any man outside of my marriage as the accusations imply."

So, you did it with boys (instead of men), and in ways other than what the accusations implied?
