When Adams was only 17-years-old, he decided to go to a party at University of Wisconsin, where a student's false accusation changed his life forever.

Three weeks after the party, Adams was getting ready to start junior college in the fall of 1998, but he was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a student at the varsity party.
