David Daniels, one of the opera world's most well-known countertenors, pleaded guilty along with his husband Scott Walters on Friday in a Houston district court to drugging and raping a young vocalist in 2010.
Plaintiff Samuel Schultz was a 23-year-old graduate student at Rice University in Houston, Texas, when he met Daniels and Walters at a party following one of Daniels' performances at the Houston Grand Opera. The couple invited him to the apartment where they were staying, and there he was sexually assaulted after a spiked drink caused the young singer to black out.
