Tony White attempts to cover up and distract from his own behavior

Tony White, a long time friend of Brent Poole, recently participated in a false narrative tabloid TV crime program about the case, A Wedding and a Murder: Murder in Myrtle Beach. In this program Tony goes on a Kimberly bashing escapade and falsely tries to portray Kimberly as some kind of sex addict. We believe he tries to do this in order to cover up and distract from his own behavior as a sexual predator. Kimberly Renee Poole would like it known that Tony sexually assaulted her on different occasions. And it is indeed Tony who is referred to anonymously in the Fact vs Fiction page as the friend of Brent who’d always try to molest Kimberly when Brent wasn’t around.

In Kimberly’s own words:

I was 14 when I met Tony, about 6 months before I met Brent. I considered Tony a friend that I’d hug upon greeting and goodbye. At that time I never felt awkward or uncomfortable. Once I met Brent and we started dating, the hugs stopped because we’d all see each other quite often. Tony’s mother died when he was young and his dad was never home (always working) so his house was the perfect hangout spot for a bunch of teenagers. Usually it was Brent, me, Tony and his girlfriend as well as a couple of other friends. We’d watch TV in the small sitting room piled on the tiny sofa and recliner. It was during one such occasion that Tony put his arm around me and I felt his hand on my breast. I thought it was an accident until it happened again at another gathering.

Sometimes it was under the pretense of tickling me, others just as before, by putting his arm around me. In my family we didn’t talk about feelings or what was going on with us. I didn’t really know how to communicate because of this. I was always a quiet girl who tried to make herself as small as possible and invisible. At 97lbs, it wasn’t that difficult. I didn’t realize that ‘no’ or ‘stop’ were an option. I just knew having Tony’s hands exploring my breast made me uncomfortable. Brent and I had been dating for awhile (maybe a year) so I felt that I could tell him what was going on. He and Tony had been friends since elementary school so I thought he’d know how to handle the situation. When I told him Tony was molesting me, feeling my breast and I didn’t like it, his reply to me was “I don’t want to mess up his and Karen’s relationship.”  I was lost. What about our relationship?

I was 15, almost 16 by this time, didn’t know how a relationship worked nor how to communicate. I took a chance telling my boyfriend that his friend was molesting me and he did nothing. I felt like I didn’t have a choice but to stay quiet and allow it to continue. After all, no one saw it as inappropriate or felt it was worth addressing but me. This happened maybe 4 times. Tony had a two story garage behind his house that we’d all hang out in during winter. We didn’t smoke in the house but the garage was okay. So when it got too cold out, we’d venture there. There was a wood burning stove that I’d stay near while everyone else milled about and went upstairs. Twice during those times Tony would find me there and touch my breast by wrapping his arm around me. He never attempted to touch me below the waist, thankfully. I’d silently endure it, hoping it would be over quickly. Once Brent and I were married we stopped going to Tony’s as much. Once he did come to our house in Mocksville. We were sitting on the couch when Brent went to get a drink or to the bathroom. Tony tried molesting me again there. I moved away from him. Later that night I told Brent that I didn’t want to be left alone in the room with Tony and I didn’t want him at our house unless Brent was there. That was the last time I endured Tony molesting me.

Kimberly is willing to swear under oath by affidavit that the above occurred.
