Jennie Garth Briefly Addresses Dan Schneider & Costar Amanda Bynes

Drake Bell Describes How Brian Peck Obtained Him By yourself

Bell described Peck purposely driving a wedge involving him and his supervisor father Joe Bell (who also appears in the ID series and backs up his son’s account) so that he could devote far more time with the teenager, who experienced a recurring part on The Amanda Show just before he was available his own sitcom, Drake & Josh, in 2004.

Peck would get him to auditions, Bell mentioned, and then have him rest in excess of, expressing it was much too late to drive him again residence. One particular night, Bell described, he woke up on the couch (the place he claimed he normally slept) and Peck was sexually assaulting him.

“I froze and was in entire shock and experienced no strategy what to do or how to react,” Bell mentioned, “and I experienced no notion how to get out of the circumstance.”

He recalled Peck remaining apologetic, but the abuse did not stop—and Bell mentioned he did not tell any person, not even when the mother of his then-girlfriend realized something was wrong and took him to a therapist. He admittedly considered that if he said everything, his profession would be over. 

Ultimately, he stated he “exploded” and told his mom every thing, and she promptly identified as police. Bell stated that detectives produced him give an “excruciatingly specific” account of the abuse and then had him simply call Peck to prompt a confession about the cellular phone although they listened in. Peck “just started out a entire-on confession,” Bell mentioned, and was subsequently arrested on Aug. 20, 2003.
