Added DiffLines:
* Andy's whole character is the stuff nightmares are made of - a handsome and seemingly nice star athlete who exploits his good looks and superficial charm to lull his victims into a false sense of security before having his way with them, and he gets away with it because his victims will inevitably be too scared or ashamed to come forward. There's nothing supernatural about this; this is simply a realistic depiction of an entitled young male who has no respect for women and sees himself as above consequences.
