Raz B Accuses Former Manager, Chris Stokes, of Child Molestation Via YouTube.com

On December 24, 2007 a video from Raz B, former member of the boy band B2K, posted a video confession on video sharing site Youtube. In the video he confesses that his former manager , Chris Stokes, molested him and all the boys associated with TUG Entertainment. The allegations have
 rocked the online urban community and caused numerous statements to be issued from both sides of the fence.

It all started with the two Youtube videos posted on Christmas Eve. The videos show at least 8 different clips in which Ricky Romance and Raz B are talking to Chris Stokes and other members of the family about being molested at an early age. This set off a fire storm of accusations, finger pointing, and press statements from Chris Stokes and Omarion, another member of B2K and who is directly related to Omarion.

Omarion released this statement:

I want to be on the record as saying that Raz B. Thorton and Ricardo Thorton are lying regarding Chris Stokes. Chris is a father figure to myself, and many others in the industry. He's guided us, helped raised us and is nothing more than an inspiration and someone I respect to and look up to. I have spent countless hours, days, weeks and months with the man since the age of 5 and have never once seen him behave inappropriately. He's married to my aunt and I know this man very well. I stand behind him with no question whatsoever. I have grown up around Chris and this is crazy to me. These people have damaged me, and my reputation and I won't stand silent and will do all within my means to speak the truth about this matter.
