"Take Me for a Ride: coming of age in a destructive cult"


Rama continues in the "Statement":
Annie Eastwood alleges that we had a single
sexual encounter over five years ago in my
home in Malibu, California. She has told the
press that in hindsight, she now views the
sexual encounter we had together as forced.
She has alleged that during the course of an
evening together I brandished a hand gun. She
then states that she had sex with me out of fear.
Rama then claims:
...at no time during our evening together did
I brandish a hand gun.
Anne looked up from the "Statement" and said, "But Rama explicitly
told us at the meeting in Malibu that he *did* take out a hand gun
that night with Annie."
"Maybe," I replied, "Rama is playing off the difference in meaning
between *holding* and *brandishing* [waving] a hand gun."
"What Annie perhaps did not know," Anne added, "and what Rama fails
to mention, is that he nearly *always* slept with a gun by his bed."
Rama writes:
Ms. Eastwood continued to attend my seminars
for another year after our night together.
This would not seem to be likely behavior on
the part of a person who was allegedly forced
to have sex at gunpoint.
