Students and faculty at Gonzaga, who describe Stevens as quiet and studious, were stunned by the allegations that he may have lived a secret life. Chris Bales, a former Gonzaga law professor who taught Stevens criminal law, characterized him as a "gentle fugitive" who posed no threat to society when he was arrested last winter.
