Even after the incident, Rogers would still call her at home to indulge his sick sexual fantasies. “He tried to talk me into talking dirty,” Linda claimed. Around the same time, Rogers faced a 1992 lawsuit from two other women in the Dallas, Texas area, claiming he made obscene phone calls from a private line. The singer settled with the women out of court, denying any wrongdoing and later saying: “I thought [phone sex] was the safest sex there was, only to get hammered by it!”
