What Kathy didn’t know was while John was all charming and loving to her, his neighbor was suing him for Voyeurism. There were also some other clients who were complaining about medical malpractice, sexual assault, and fraud.
Branden managed to fool her and the cases were soon dismissed in court. But as the days passed, Kathy began to feel the rage that was slowly building inside John. His rage peaked when in Gold Beach home, John raped her, made her captive, and threatened to kill her and throw in the ocean.
