The victim said what took place was non-consensual, the complaint states. He repeatedly told her to get out and tried to push her away – but she wouldn’t listen. He was 12 years old at the time.

Months later, the complaint says the victim received a text message from Crocker asking him to apologize to her “for what happened in the basement.” He described it as her “attempt to make him feel guilty.” She told him he couldn’t tell anyone what happened, he said.
