West reportedly abused his office by offering internships to lure them into more intimate relationships.
Episode 8
02 April 2007 - David Hicks' Story
With a wispy moustache and long, lank hair, it was a different David Hicks who just faced US military court in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. No longer the clean-cut young man smiling familiarly out of old family snaps - and no longer protesting his innocence.
