On March 15, the victim remembers that she went to Campbell’s apartment to return a wrench she borrowed. He then “proceeded to ask how many men I’ve slept with.” She said zero, and claims Campbell told her not to lie. “He then proceeded to ask how many women I’ve slept with and said he bets girls go crazy over me,” she recalled.

When confronted with the allegation, Campbell told NewsChannel 5 that the allegations were “not true,” adding “I had consensual, adult conversations with two adults off property.”Daily news about the politics, business, and technology shaping our world.
