...repeated visits. Adams had 15 physicals in total. On this extended regiment of no sleep, Adams recalls a particularly harrowing incident.“I walked out of my house and onto Mass Avenue and [saw] a mass of soldiers coming towards me.” Having not slept in days, Adams panicked, thinking the troops were there to conscript him.

Roy told CNN that he was taking pictures of women under desks, and two men identified as suite mates of Cho's told the network he had stalked three women.
