Peck would take him to auditions, Bell stated, and then have him sleep over, saying it was too late to drive him again house. One evening, Bell described, he awakened on the sofa (the place he stated he at all times slept) and Peck was sexually assaulting him.

“I froze and was in full shock and had no thought what to do or how you can react,” Bell stated, “and I had no thought how you can get out of the state of affairs.”

He recalled Peck being apologetic, however the abuse did not cease—and Bell stated he did not inform anybody, not even when the mother of his then-girlfriend realized one thing was improper and took him to a therapist. He admittedly believed that if he stated something, his profession could be over.

Bell stated that detectives made him give an “excruciatingly detailed” account of the abuse after which had him name Peck to immediate a confession over the telephone whereas they listened in. Peck “simply began a full-on confession,” Bell stated, and was subsequently arrested on Aug. 20, 2003.
