Chapter 12 - Greg’s ChoiceGreg accepted responsibility earlier than Trent.
He admitted helping restrain me.
Filming.
Encouraging humiliation.
Then cooperating.
His lawyer negotiated a plea on lesser charges conditioned on testimony and community service.
Greg's parents did not blame me.
His father came to one hearing and said:
“We should have paid more attention to who he was becoming around Trent.”
That sentence bothered Greg.
Later he told investigators:
“Everyone acts like Trent controlled me.”
“Didn't he?”
“Sometimes.”
“Then?”
Greg looked at his hands.
“I liked being close to the guy nobody challenged.”
Power attracted satellites.
Greg had borrowed Trent's protection.
He laughed because cruelty was the membership fee.
That did not make him innocent.
It made the mechanism understandable.
He eventually gave the university permission to use anonymized portions of his group chats in bystander training.
