Watch: Pool Boy Delivers More Details About Relationship with Falwells - Jerry Liked to 'Watch'
READ TIME: 2 MIN.
A pool boy delivered more damning testimony about his relationship with Becki Falwell and husband Jerry Falwell Jr. this morning on "Good Morning America," the Daily Mail reports.
Giancarlo Granda, 29, said that Falwell Jr. "told him to 'go for it' with her the first time they had sex and that he waited for them on a bed, 'drunk and giggling' after telling him that they didn't like swingers clubs and wanted an 'intimate session'."
He added that the recently resigned president of Liberty University "is 'lying' about never being involved in his affair with Becki and that he 'knew from day one' but is now 'trying to throw her under the bus'."
Watch Granda's interview in this tweet from GMA:
"He was aware from day one of our relationship and he did, in fact, watch," Granda, 29, told George Stephanopoulos, ABC News reports.
Last Sunday Falwell Jr. claimed he knew nothing about his wife's relationship with Granda, which began when the former pool boy met the couple in 2012 in Miami and began a six-year affair that transpired in various hotel rooms in Miami and New York City, and at the couple's Lynchburg, VA estate.
In his GMA appearance, Granda said that the Falwells told him during that first encounter that they had visited a Miami swingers' club the previous night but that they weren't comfortable.
"She mentioned that they were actually at a swingers' club the night before but they said it wasn't their thing ... they wanted a more intimate session."

Falwell and his wife have vigorously denied most of Granda's charges. A spokesperson for the Falwells directed questions to Granda's attorneys, who did not immediately respond to a list of emailed questions from ABC News.
In related Becki Falwell news, Politico reported yesterday that a 22-year old former Liberty University student came forward to say that she had "jumped into bed with him and performed oral sex on him while he stayed over at the Falwell home after a band practice with her eldest son in 2008."
"She was the aggressor," he said, adding that she continued to pursue him with gifts and engaging in banter through Facebook messages. "The messages, screenshots of which were provided by the former student to POLITICO, suggest a flirtatious relationship that went beyond what might be expected of a mother communicating with her son's bandmate."
In a statement, Jerry and Becki Falwell said of the former student's allegations: "It is unfortunate that the coverage of our departure has turned into a frenzy of false and fantastic claims about us. These false and mean spirited lies have hurt us and our family greatly and we will respond fully with the truth at an appropriate time. At this time, however, we think it is best to move on and help the Liberty community focus on its very bright future..."
