I realize the story it correct. It's the news article, I'm wandering if it is original.
Thanks,

Can we ever know how far Russell went with Rose? He kept her at his office every night after everyone left, he wouldn't let anyone leaving earlier escort her home and he was planning to divorce his wife(that's all according to Mary Russell).

In the court record it says he had her on his knee and they were "fondling each other." As to how far it went, that is the official court record. Fondling means they were touching each other in intimate sexual parts of the body.
According to what Grizzuti has written in her book (I think Vision of Glory or something similar was the title), Charles Taze Russell's wife Maria had some kind of problem with her female body organs which made CT Russell and her having sexual relations either impossible or highly infrequent. This was when CT Russell, as he admits in the court record, hit on one woman then another until he found those who were willing participants. It is also worth noting that Maria, not CT, wrote most of the early Watch Tower magazine articles; and both he and she had fathers who were members of the Free Masons.
