Greer also worked as a lawyer for 14years in New Haven and had also served as the New Haven Commissioner of City Police.

He sued Greer stating that his high school journey from 2001 to 2005 was miserable because of Greer’s demand and pressure for sexual Favours. The suit also mentioned of a second student who was also abused and tortured by the Habbi.
The Verdict.
