Biography[]
Speak[]
Andy Evans was a senior in high school as well as the rapist of Melinda Sordino. He met Melinda at a party, and he took her into the woods to rape her. Melinda tried to call 911 to help her, but she didn't know what to tell them.
This led to several people getting arrested at the party, and Melinda becoming an outcast. Because of this, Rachel ends her friendship with Melinda. With no one to speak to because of her traumatic experience, Melinda gradually becomes mute. Having not forgotten about her, Andy decides to sadistically bully Melinda as a reminder of what he did to her. He also encouraged Melinda's bullying to further place the young girl strictly into despair.
Defeat[]
Later on in the story, Andy began to date Melinda's ex-friend, Rachel. When she discovered the truth about what he had done to Melinda, he angrily went to her, and he tried to rape her a second time. This caused Melinda to finally stand up for herself, and Andy was found out and was later arrested. Melinda is praised for her bravery and becomes comfortable with speaking again, while Andy is presumably locked away permanently.
Catalyst[]
After his defeat, Andy was found guilty, but got probation, and was on house arrest, and his actions were in his criminal record. Andy was forced to register as a sex offender, with the punishments Andy got, where that he was forced to wear an electronic tag. Andy was also forced to stay away from Melinda and her family at all times (even after his sentence) or he would get a harsher punishment. Not only has he been put on probation, but he also became an pariah since everybody now knows about Andy's actions, leading him to lose everything. his friends, his reputation, and his power were ironically erased. Not only would people make his life miserable because of all of his crimes, but they would also dox and harass him, giving him an ironic fate.
Personality[]
Andy was described as sleazy and narcissistic, and he was also noted as being very handsome-looking. Despite this, he was actually a repulsive individual underneath. He had a disturbing history of sexually assaulting girls, and it's heavily implied that Melinda wasn't the only girl that he raped.
It’s heavily implied that he also raped a little girl, given his criminal history.
Andy was also a sadist as shown when he was asking Melinda if she remembered their time together and taking great enjoyment from it.
Andy is also shown to be a coward as in the final parts where Melinda overpowered him after irritating his eyes, he also didn't fight back when he was outnumbered by Nicole and her hockey team.
