Just a few weeks after Jim Gallogly was conveniently photographed walking off campus carrying a white box with all his personal belongings, The Oklahoman reported that only six people spoke to investigators about the "encounters" they had with OU President David Boren.
Here are the details from real-news reporter Nolan Clay:
Six witnesses gave accounts about encounters with David Boren to the law firm that conducted a sexual misconduct investigation of the retired University of Oklahoma president, according to an excerpt from the law firm's report.
One of the witnesses, Jess Eddy, on Tuesday released the excerpt of the confidential report to the media, after OU allowed him to review it.
"Mr. Eddy's account of President Boren's sexual advances is generally consistent with and similar to the accounts of others among The Six Witnesses — in particular the hotel room evenings described by SAIII and the President's Office meetings described by SAXII," the report states.
The excerpt does not name the other witnesses. "SA" is apparently an abbreviation for "Senior Administrator."
Yep, six people talked about their encounters. Based on all the rumors that have been circulating about Boren over the years, that seems kind of low. Hell, the way Boren talked about the political witch hunt, I was expecting at least a dozen.
In all fairness to Boren, the only accuser who's gone public – Jess Eddy – isn't the most reliable witness. His story has already changed twice. He first denied any inappropriate behavior occurred and then hit up David Boren for some money. He then changed his tune and gave a second interview to the law firm, spilling the jelly beans:
