Note the lack of any named source, just "a lot of people." Later: "Dr. Graham, why not preach here at home? Aren't there people in the United States who need your ministry?"

...POINTLESS to preach that fans of this real-life soap opera should find something better to do with their time. Did the two former Waltham patients decide to press fabricated charges years after hazily remembered run-ins with Hussain only because the learned that he had been convicted of the gang-rape? Was the drunken affair in Rockport a matter among consenting adults, as Hussain and this co-defendants claim, or was it a violent and horrible crime?
