Liberty University grad claims he had sexual encounter with Becki Falwell

A Liberty University graduate claims Becki Falwell, the wife of the disgraced school head Jerry Falwell Jr., performed oral sex on him when he was a student in 2008, according to a report.

The graduate made the allegations in an interview with POLITICO, saying the sexual encounter was initiated by Becki Falwell and occurred in a guest bedroom at the Falwell’s Virginia home.

“She was the aggressor,” the former student told the outlet.

The man, who wished to remain anonymous, was 22 at the time and had been in a band with the Falwell’s oldest son, Trey Falwell. The band, which included other members, routinely practiced at an abandoned church on the Falwell’s property.

Leading up to the sexual encounter, which the student said occurred in either August or September, Becki Falwell, a then-employee of Liberty University, allegedly flirted with him and made at least one prior advance in the same guest room.

“One night [in August or September], we were up till one or two, and we went back to [Trey’s] room. We had a decent amount of Jack Daniels,” the former student told POLITICO.

From there, the student recalled, he went into the guest room, which was adjacent to Trey’s, to go to sleep.

“I’m laying in the bed and I hear, like, giggling to the side of me on the floor. And, pardon my French, but I was like, ‘What the fu– is that?’ I look over and it’s Becki,” he said.

“Just, you know, in my room. I’m like, ‘You can’t be in here. This can’t happen.’”

The student said Becki Falwell left, but a few nights later after a late band practice, she came back again and went further, climbing into his bed and performing oral sex.

“I was like, ‘uh, what are you doing?” the former student said.

From the encounter up until December 2008, the former student said Becki Falwell barraged him with calls and Facebook messages, the tones of which ranged from flirtatious to apologetic. The student provided Politico with screenshots of the notes.

In one message, Becki Falwell tells the student, “I think that you are beautiful just like you are,” in response to a mutual female friend wanting him to cut his bangs.

“You don’t want to cover up those killer eyes of yours and you know the bandana drives me wild … 🙂” the message continued.

Following the alleged sexual encounter, the former student only confided in a few people, including another bandmate who spoke with POLITICO.

The encounter “made [him] feel bad. It was a depressing thing; he struggled with depression [afterwards],” the former bandmate told the outlet.

Becki and Jerry Falwell, who this week amid a seperate sex scandal resigned as president of Liberty University, denied the allegations in a statement to POLITICO.

“It is unfortunate that the coverage of our departure has turned into a frenzy of false and fantastic claims about us,” the couple said.

“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. At this time, however, we think it is best to move on and help the Liberty community focus on its very bright future…”

Scott Lamb, the senior vice president of Liberty University, told the outlet the conservative Christian school received no complaints “for any inappropriate relationship” against Becki Falwell while she was employed there.

Lamb also noted it’s against university policy for employees to to engage in sexual relationships with students. He also said sexual relations outside of marriage at the school are prohibited.

“This is a fresh allegation, as far as we can tell,” he said.
