Victim of sexual assault call Finebaum show

BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC) - All week the phone lines have been lighting up at the Paul Finebaum show, callers wanting to share their thoughts on the Krystal's incident.

"It's been crazy,” said producer Daniel Entrekia. “We really couldn't believe this story has gotten as big as it has and has seemed to snowballed and gotten bigger and bigger every day."

And today was no exception. Entrekia answered a phone line. On the other end was a man he didn't expect to hear from. "The moment we thought it was about to start wrapping up Sam from Louisiana called.”

Sam who claims to be the alleged victim seen in the infamous video that shows an Alabama fan exposing himself and simulating a sexual act on an unconscious LSU fan. Here's what Sam tod Paul Finebaum.

"I just want to start off by saying I apologize to everyone for getting so out of my mind drunk that I didn't know what I was doing," said Sam. "I didn't even know it happened to me at the time."

Sam, who would not tell his last name, told Finebaum he didn't learn about the incident until a friend of his called him. Finebaum asked, "Did you feel violated, sexually violated?" Sam responded, “It pissed me off. It pissed me off."

Sam said he couldn't go into detail, but did tell Finebaum what he could remember. "I was with my girlfriend during the game. I didn't have tickets to the game so we watched it on Bourbon Street at the bar. Just the way the game was going, I drank more and more," said Sam. “I remember at the end of the game and I remember my girlfriend wanting to go to Krystal’s. She won't even talk to me now."

Finebaum tells FOX 6, "My guess is he's real, although I'd hate to put money on that."

Is it the victim? Is it not? Whoever was on the other end of the line definitely got a rise out of callers. "I think there's a serious aspect, then there's a bizarre I can’t believe that really happened aspect. Everybody wants to say that's terrible out of one side of their mouth, but they are laughing out of the other," said Finebaum.

Entrexia said, “It's always very interesting up here at the show but it's been a little extra pepper on it this week."
