Drake Bell Describes How Brian Peck Got Him Alone
Bell explained Peck intentionally driving a wedge in between him and his supervisor daddy Joe Bell ( who likewise appears in the ID series and supports his child’s account) so that he might invest more time with the teenager, who had a repeating function on The Amanda Show before he was used his own comedy, Drake & & Josh, in 2004.
Peck would take him to auditions, Bell stated, and then have him sleep over, stating it was far too late to drive him back home. One night, Bell explained, he got up on the sofa (where he stated he constantly slept) and Peck was sexually attacking him.
“I froze and was in complete shock and had no idea what to do or how to react,” Bell stated, “and I had no idea how to get out of the situation.”
He remembered Peck being regretful, however the abuse didn’t stop– and Bell stated he didn’t inform anybody, not even when the mother of his then-girlfriend understood something was incorrect and took him to a therapist. He undoubtedly thought that if he stated anything, his profession would be over.
Eventually, he stated he “exploded” and informed his mom whatever, and she instantly called authorities. Bell stated that investigators made him offer an “excruciatingly detailed” account of the abuse and after that had him call Peck to trigger a confession over the phone while they eavesdroped. Peck “just started a full-on confession,” Bell stated, and was consequently apprehended onAug 20, 2003.
