Rogers then manages to get a job teaching at Tony’s school. After their relationship escalates through [[physical intimacy]] to serious [[Child sexual abuse|sexual activity]] and Tony wins a [[recording contract]], he lets slip the details of the intensity of his [[physical intimacy|relationship]] with Rogers to a [[newspaper]].
