Professor Fell for Her Disabled Student… But It Wasn’t Love

Professor Fell for Her Disabled Student… But It Wasn’t Love Derrick Johnson was a nonverbal man with cerebral palsy, completely dependent on his family for care. Anna Stubblefield, a respected Rutgers University professor, claimed she had discovered a way for him to communicate through a controversial method known as facilitated communication. However, what began as an academic pursuit quickly turned into a shocking case of manipulation and abuse. Stubblefield insisted they had formed a romantic and sexual relationship—despite Derrick being unable to independently verify consent.
