Sure, the official word is that he was raped by a hamster, but the reality is much closer to Richard Gere.
It's not as well known that Kesa was part of a cult run by Richard Gere. The cries of "The hamster raped me" could be heard nightly. It was a mantra of sorts should the cult be uncovered, so they practiced it often.
If it wasnt for Richard Gere's celebrity status, and his lining of pockets with bribes, the real story wouldve come out.
