She also said before she moved in, she and Greg agreed they would not be in a relationship. (Source)

Greg also accused Sam of sitting on his lap and wiggling. He says her genitals were on his and she was trying to stimulate him. (Source) According to Greg, one morning they were up early. They hugged good morning and she slid onto his lap. He says at first she said she didn't wiggle, then she said she was just adjusting herself.
