McGillicuddy claimed there are “multiple encounters” on video discovered on the cellular device and they allegedly show KJ using “predatory, derogatory” language toward the victim.
“This would now mark the second time he has been charged with an offense of a sexual nature of a very serious kind which involves female victims,” McGillicuddy noted, adding that KJ was previously charged with sexual battery of a victim under the age of 16, which had not been publicly reported until now.
