The crack was only a "means to an end," he writes. "I had no interest in the drugs, but I figured Rasheeda would have some good sex with me if I agreed to do it with her."

Less subject to question is Barry's account of his first use of cocaine, with an unnamed woman earlier in the decade. He said he decided to partake after the woman came on to him in sexually explicit terms. "I was curious," Barry writes. "If cocaine made this woman feel this hot, I wondered how it would make me feel."

He describes fumbling with the drug, blowing his first hit off of a business card before snorting it properly: It "felt like I had ejaculated. The cocaine was a powerful stimulant that went straight to my penis. I could see what this young woman was talking about.

"What happened next?" Barry writes. "I had sex with her."
