Patreon: https://patreon.com/UnknownPressures | As if his alleged crimes and abuse weren’t enough, Melqui Galvao’s attempts to silence his victims and pervert the course of justice have been revealed. Given unauthorized access to a cellphone in jail, he had been contacting victims and employees in an effort to manipulate witness statements, and his son Mica Galvao has been drawn into the situation after he was heard speaking with his father in a leaked audio.

We discuss all the latest updates in this ongoing case, including the fact that one of the victims has named a number of former teammates who she alleges tried to persuade her not to make a report. Shocking.
