Josh said it took him a"few days to process" the bombshell revelations that Drake made in the new ID docuseriesthat Brian would sometimes accompany him on auditions in LA, and occasionally, he'd spend the night at Brian's house due to the distance.
Recalling one night when he stayed at Brian's home, Drake said, “I was sleeping on the couch where I usually sleep, and I woke up to him... He was sexually assaulting me. And I froze and was in complete shock and had no idea what to do or how to react.”Drake said, from there, the abuse reoccurred. “Anytime I had an audition, or anytime I needed to work on dialogue or anything, I somehow ended up back at Brian's house.
Ultimately, Brian was arrested after Drake revealed the abuse, serving a 16-month sentence after pleading no contest to two counts of child sex abuse. Drake's identity was never disclosed until he came forward as the victim for the docuseries."I reached out to Drake privately, but want to give my support for the survivors who were brave enough to share their stories of emotional and physical abuse on Nickelodeon sets with the world. Children should be protected.
