Who is Jerold Dunning?

When Kym Brown-Hunter first got involved with Jerold Dunning, he was a friend of her then-husband, who is also her current husband. During that time, she and Jaime lived on a yacht with her husband. However, after a few years of marriage, they decided to divorce, and Jerold was there for Kym during this difficult time. After dating for about five months, Kym and Jaime decided to move in with him. The couple was previously separated.

Jaime claims that Jerold undressed and touched her while she was still wearing her clothes while she was ten years old doing her anatomy homework. Jerold was wearing shorts then. Jaime said he even groped her while she was taking a shower and then offered her money to have oral sex with him.
