Transcript

00:00I'm here suing my ex-boyfriend, Drew, because of the emotional distress he's caused me

00:06and for taking the only life I knew away from me.

00:10Excuse me, the only life that was taken was out of my baby boy.

00:14All right, so, Ms. McGarry, just explain what happened, please.

00:19So, I come from a small town in Tennessee, and it's just about 3,000 people.

00:28I joined the adult church choir at 18, and that's where I met my ex-boyfriend, Drew.

00:37Are you older? Are you guys the same age? How old are you?

00:42He is 27. I am currently 21.

00:47Okay, so a big age gap.

00:49Yes.

00:50Okay, and you knew each other just from church or also from the small town?

00:55Yes, I met her in the choir when she was about 18 and started dating very slow.

01:02I didn't think that the age gap would be a problem.

01:04All right, so then you started dating Mr. Andrews.

01:07Were you worried that he was so much older than you?

01:10I wasn't so much concerned about how much older he was than me.

01:16We bonded over our love of music, so I guess it didn't occur to me how much older he was than me.

01:24And we eventually engaged after a few years.

01:30We started getting closer and engaged in sexual relationships.

01:34Okay, all right. Consensual, obviously.

01:39Yes.

01:39And what else happened?

01:42And we used condoms, and something must have happened because after six months of being intimate,

01:53I went to the doctor, and I found out that I was just about five weeks pregnant.

01:59Wow, okay. And you found out you were pregnant, and what did you do?

02:04So I had a lot to think about at that point, and in Tennessee, you can't just get an abortion, so...

02:13She wanted to cheat the system by going to another state.

02:16Okay, to write.

02:18I flew to Virginia to stay with my cousin and to have the abortion there.

02:24Okay, so you decided that you were going to have an abortion?

02:27Yes.

02:28Did you speak to anybody about it, about finding out that you were pregnant, your parents, Mr. Anders, a friend?

02:37What did you decide to do?

02:39I ended up going to Drew about my plan, and he went insane.

02:45And he berated me and told me I was going to hell, and I had to let him know that this wasn't his choice.

02:54It was my body, my choice, and that he was probably more comfortable with having the child than I was.

03:00She didn't give me a say in the matter.

03:02She didn't give you a say in the matter?

03:04No.

03:04And why do you think you have a say in the matter?

03:06Because it's my child, too.

03:08Okay, all right, so continue, Ms. McGarry.

03:12He told me that we were to either get married or we would have to put the child up for adoption, and I wasn't ready for either.

03:23All right, so then, Mr. Anders, you were very upset that she wanted to have an abortion?

03:33Definitely.

03:34She knew where I stood from the very start of this on abortion.

03:37I was in panic because I think that my baby's going to be killed, and that's something that's so important to me is my child.

03:45Mm-hmm.

03:46And there's nothing that I wouldn't do to fight for my child.

03:50Okay.

03:50And she was the person standing in the way, so I got a little bit angry.

03:54You got a little bit angry, okay.

03:55Yes.

03:56What did you do when you got a little bit angry?

03:59Well, my town doesn't really believe in going to therapy either.

04:02I talked to the people in the choir because they're my main people I go to when I have issues.

04:06How did you talk to them, about anger management or about what?

04:09About what happened between us, about the matter of the abortion.

04:14Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

04:15You disclosed personal, intimate information to strangers that had absolutely no business knowing what was going on between you two?

04:22They're not strangers.

04:23I've known my whole life.

04:24But it's none of their business.

04:24You were disclosing her private life.

04:27What happened after that?

04:29She got very upset and her mother found out.

04:35Her mother and father found out.

04:36They kicked her out of the house.

04:37How did her mother and father find out?

04:39It got around to them, too.

04:41I didn't tell them.

04:41It got around to them, though.

04:43That's a lie.

04:44Why is that a lie, Ms. McGarry?

04:45He told my father and my mother about my abortion.

04:50So you told her parents?

04:52No, I told the church choir.

04:54In her statement, she said that you called her father and let her know.

04:59And that when she came home one day after where you were at work, he decided not to.

05:04He didn't talk to you.

05:07You returned home.

05:08Your father wouldn't speak to you.

05:10And your mother wouldn't speak to you.

05:13That they sided with Mr. Anders' side of the story.

05:16And they asked you to leave the house.

05:18Yes, that's correct.

05:20They kicked me out.

05:21I know this topic is a very touchy one.

05:23And there's a lot of opinions surrounding it.

05:25So I'm going to try my best to say a couple thoughts.

05:28I actually do think that it is a very, very difficult situation for this young lady here

05:34to be put into a position where she comes from a small town, sounds like a very religious

05:38spirit in this town, and everyone is extremely judgmental towards people who decide to make

05:44choices that maybe they disagree with.

05:47Now, she wants to make this decision.

05:49I do also feel for the boyfriend or the fiance here, because in this situation, I understand

05:59if he feels like that's my child that I want or I desire.

06:03I don't want you to get rid of it.

06:04Like, I understand his feeling.

06:06I don't think he's wrong for feeling that way.

06:09I'm not going to shame him for feeling that way.

06:12But at the end of the day, it's a very difficult situation and a very difficult choice.

06:17Now, if he's feeling so much emotion for it and so much emotion about it, just as much

06:23as maybe she's probably, I mean, I know she's feeling a lot of emotions about it.

06:26It's not an easy choice to make.

06:29I don't think that him telling the choir or telling people that he's trying to navigate

06:34these feelings for in such a small town, in such a small little church setting where

06:39your whole community is just the people you go to do church with and choir.

06:43I don't think it's outlandish that he talked about it with them.

06:48Now, I know that this is extremely sensitive material and topics here, but they both came

06:54together and created this child.

06:56So they both are somewhat co-creators in this.

07:01And so it does affect him.

07:03I don't think that so far, based off of what I've heard, it sounds like the judge is not

07:09giving him and his feelings enough credit and thinks that he's just lackadaisically telling

07:16people about this to get back at her.

07:19Now, he could be doing that.

07:20And if he is doing that, then that's wrong.

07:21And he shouldn't do that.

07:22That's just stupid.

07:24But I feel like in this situation, it's to say that he should pay you 20 grand because

07:31he's trying to navigate the feelings of this whole experience and tells people about it.

07:38And then it ends up going that your family and your parents end up finding out about it.

07:42You know, that I don't know.

07:44That's a little bit of a stretch in my opinion.

07:47But what do you guys think?

07:48Do you agree?

07:48Do you disagree?

07:49I'm trying to understand why you felt it necessary to tell everybody what she was doing.

07:59I needed to talk to somebody.

08:01It's my child.

08:02And I never get to see them now.

08:05And that destroyed me inside and out.

08:08So I told someone and I had to let it out to somebody.

08:13Without any regard to what would happen to her, because it's hard for me to believe that

08:20you didn't intentionally or at best recklessly, recklessly share this information to get back

08:26at her.

08:26I did it out of sheer emotion.

08:28Sheer emotion, anger.

08:29You said out of anger.

08:31When you weaponize anger, you're getting back at somebody.

08:36And I have a feeling that's what you did.

08:38I don't get the sense that you are an unintelligent man.

08:44On the contrary.

08:46But you knew the impact it was going to have by you telling people that this would happen.

08:54This is an outrageous.

08:56Would you?

08:57Is it fair to say that this is an outrageous thing to happen in your community?

09:02I don't understand why everybody said what they said.

09:06And I think that things may have taken.

09:08You just told me that everybody, the majority of the people around you where you live, believe

09:13abortion is wrong.

09:15I respect your belief.

09:16I respect that.

09:17But you did not think that by disclosing that she was going to have an abortion, that

09:22this would be an outrageous thing for the community, that they would react in a very negative

09:28way?

09:28I knew my friends strongly disagreed with it.

09:30Of course.

09:31Because nobody believes in that where you live and believes in the right to have an abortion.

09:35I thought I'd be understood by them.

09:37So yes.

09:38So then what did you logically think the impact was going to be on her?

09:42I thought they'd be angry at her for sure.

09:45I have no doubt about that.

09:46And then what else?

09:49I couldn't predict what would happen to her fully.

09:52I just knew that they would be angry.

09:54Come on.

09:55By you calling her parents or her parents finding out?

09:58I mean, her father did not want anything to do with her.

10:05She describes in her statement he won't even look at her.

10:09I mean, not only did you violate her privacy, but you took away probably the most important

10:18relationship in her life, which was her community, her family, the people she had around her.

10:25I was about to have my family, though.

10:27I understand that you wanted to have a family, that you want to have a family, and I respect that.

10:32But you do not have a right to control her body and a decision of what she's going to do.

10:37Now, obviously, I don't think that it was right for him to share this information with everybody.

10:42But I understand that when you're going through an emotional experience, and you feel like you

10:48don't have a choice in it, and you're in it, it's a complex dynamic when you're in relationship

10:53with the person who's got your baby.

10:56I understand there's a lot of complexity to this.

10:59But I think, you know, shaming him is not necessarily the right thing because the people

11:09who are in the wrong, not necessarily him because he's still willing to work through

11:14it and have, you know, say something and have a relationship with her.

11:18But what I don't understand are the people who are choosing to shame her and disown her,

11:23including her own parents.

11:24Because that is the issue, not really him who's going through the same emotional experience

11:29and feeling, you know, upset about the fact that he is, a choice is being made that he

11:36has no control over.

11:37Because I'm not saying that he should have any control.

11:40I'm just saying, if you are both in relationship and you both are co-creators of a child, it's

11:47very difficult when one person wants it out and the other person doesn't.

11:51Like, you have to admit, that's a complex issue.

11:54It's not, I'm not saying that he should just not care at all.

11:57I think it's reasonable for him to care.

11:59I think it's fine for him to care.

12:02But to say that, you know, oh, these are her most important relationships.

12:06It's like, well, yeah, but also these are people who are willing to disown her at a drop

12:11of a hat.

12:12These are people who are willing to choose self-righteous behaviors over grace and love

12:18and understanding for somebody who is in a very difficult situation, who's going to

12:23make a choice for their own bodies.

12:26I don't know if this is 20 grand worth of suing somebody.

12:30There's nothing in your state that says she cannot go anywhere else under the law.

12:34And like I said, I'm following the law.

12:36I'm leaving all emotion aside.

12:39But you do not have a say.

12:41You do not have a say, right?

12:45If she continued living in Tennessee, she could not get an abortion.

12:49We know that.

12:50But she decided to leave Tennessee.

12:53I just see that as cheating the system.

12:55Cheating the system is also getting very angry and purposely engaging in behavior that

13:06is intended to cause severe emotional harm to a person.

13:14Right?

13:16By disclosing the one thing that you knew in your church and in your community would cause

13:24a mass hysteria in the sense of rejecting her.

13:28I didn't have anyone else to tell.

13:30So, Ms. McGarry, can you explain to us?

13:32Obviously, I have copies of some of your evidence, and I know you brought other evidence today.

13:37But explain to us, and to Mr. Anders, maybe he doesn't remember or refuses to know, what

13:44you went through after your community rejected you and your parents rejected you.

13:52Right.

13:53So, after I returned, as you already know, I got kicked out.

13:58My mother and my father wouldn't speak to me, let alone even look at me, and I got kicked

14:03out of my church choir, and the only people that I knew all my life had turned on me.

14:10So, when I returned, I had no choice but to move to Nashville.

14:18You did not have to choose.

14:19Go ahead.

14:19You chose Nashville.

14:21Go ahead.

14:22But after I returned, I had no choice because I was receiving also a lot of hate messages.

14:31I was getting abused and harassed, all because of his decision to go to someone and speak

14:39about my information.

14:41Can you give, Cinder, all of your evidence, please?

14:44Yes, of course.

14:45So, this is a letter from your church that they asked you to leave the parish?

14:57Yes, that's correct.

15:00Because your decisions impacted not only you and the community.

15:05Wow.

15:05Did you know that?

15:06That she got a letter from the church kicking her out of the parish?

15:09Yes, I heard.

15:10You did.

15:10You knew that.

15:11Wow.

15:11You apparently lost how many pounds, cents, this situation?

15:16I lost around 15 to 20 pounds.

15:22These are some of the text messages.

15:24How can you live with yourself?

15:27You're going straight to hell.

15:28I'm not even going to read some of these because they're disgusting.

15:31And then you also have receipts for your new location, that you had to find a new location,

15:37a house, right?

15:38An apartment?

15:38Yes.

15:40But the majority of your bills are from your therapist.

15:43Can you tell me what is happening, your therapy, why you decided to get therapy?

15:48Absolutely.

15:49I decided to get therapy after all the emotions and stress that I've gone through.

15:55And after moving to Nashville, I had spent a week living in my car before I could move into

16:03my actual apartment.

16:04So, you lived in your car.

16:06And I stopped eating, I stopped sleeping, I became very depressed.

16:11I needed to find a way to heal from this.

16:15So, I decided to go to therapy and have groups and people that I can lean on because...

16:21I needed people I could lean on too.

16:23Okay, go ahead.

16:24Because the only people that I knew...

16:26Because of you, she has nobody.

16:27You have a whole town.

16:28She has nobody.

16:29Yeah, well, she runs to people about it too.

16:30She has a whole town.

16:31You have your parents.

16:32She doesn't even have her parents.

16:33But anyway, go ahead.

16:33They could talk about me.

16:35Okay.

16:36Anything else you want to say, Mr. Anders?

16:39Anything, any other evidence you want to add?

16:41I noticed you didn't bring any evidence.

16:43Is there anything else you would like to say?

16:45It is some of my say with my child.

16:48And I wish she would have at least heard me because she didn't give me any voice.

16:52It seems like she's allowed to have a voice in all of this, but I'm not allowed to have any.

16:56She would rather act as a victim, but I think she's the wolf in sheep's clothing.

17:00I think that this is all her way of getting my money.

17:03She already took my child, but now she wants my money too.

17:06And I don't buy that any of that's going to therapy.

17:08I think this is all just a lie and she's trying to act like the victim, but that's not the case.

17:12She was too immature to handle a kid.

17:14Good to know.

17:15And maybe you were too mature to have sex with somebody who was so young.

17:18Oh my gosh, she just went in there.

17:19Now, this guy is digging his grave, to be honest with you.

17:23And he's really just being a jerk and, to be honest with you, a bozo in this courtroom.

17:31I think at the end of the day, it sounds like he was, in fact, just sharing the information to try to ruin her life.

17:39I mean, initially, when he was explaining it, that I feel like this is a difficult thing and I needed to talk to somebody

17:46because it's hard for me to navigate this, that I feel a certain way about this and she doesn't.

17:52And then that's why I shared the information because I needed to confide in somebody.

17:56Now, based off of what he's saying, it sounds like he's just being a bozo and just sharing information willy-nilly

18:02and doesn't care about the consequences.

18:05But really, my biggest criticism of this, while he, yes, is an idiot,

18:10my biggest criticism of this is the parents and the church making these decisions

18:15as if they don't even have love in their own hearts.

18:18That's what's so crazy to me.

18:20I'm very sad to hear about this and I really hope that this young lady gets the help that she needs.

18:25You knew exactly what you were doing.

18:28You used anger as a weapon.

18:30You weaponized anger.

18:32You probably went to your choir and you used that anger in a very manipulative way to tell people,

18:41oh, yes, yes, we had sex and I'm really sorry, but she's getting an abortion.

18:46When you knew that telling the core of the church, they would disown her,

18:52how sad is it that an actual church, a religious organization,

18:58actually has to write her a letter to kick her out of church?

19:02How sad is that?

19:04And by telling people, you knew exactly what was happening.

19:07And you knew you were going to do that and you used it against her

19:10because you knew they would reject her, that they would kick her out.

19:13And that's what's probably going to make you happy because you feel so strongly about what happened.

19:17You had to get back at her in some way.

19:21She has suffered damages because she has to see a psychiatrist.

19:25She has suffered damages because she's had to find a new location.

19:29She lived in her car because she had nothing and nobody.

19:33She had to go to a shelter.

19:35I don't know if you knew that, to get help, because she had nothing and nobody.

19:41She finally got stable, was able to rent a place, right?

19:46And I have to give it to you.

19:48That is fantastic that you were able to do that.

19:51And congratulations, that you're able to pull yourself through.

19:55But can you imagine for one minute what your actions have done to her?

20:02I know you feel strongly about the abortion.

20:04I'm going to give that to you.

20:05But for one minute, everything she's ever known is gone.

20:11Gone.

20:13Okay?

20:14Gone.

20:15And why?

20:16Because you took it upon yourself to oversee and to play with her life.

20:22That's exactly what she did.

20:23She played with my baby's life.

20:24Based on the evidence, I will grant the plaintiff's claim, not in the total amount of $20,000, but in $12,000.

20:31I am deducting the expenses that you spent on getting your new apartment and things of that.

20:37Why?

20:38Because I think that is important for you to know that's yours.

20:41That's something you did for yourself.

20:43The therapy and everything else, I believe you deserve.

20:46So based on the evidence, I will grant your claim in $12,000.

20:49Good luck.

20:50Judge Perez has ruled in favor of the plaintiff.

20:54The defendant has been ordered to pay $12,000.

20:57So I agree with this judgment, actually, at the end of the day.

21:02I do believe that his choices and things he did did incur for her to have to go get therapy and things like that and have some damages from the choices that he made.

21:13And therefore, he has to pay for her therapy.

21:17I mean, $12,000 is still a lot of money, so you can argue whether or not that's fair or not.

21:23But the thing that's really shocking to me about this case is not the fact that he felt a certain way about it and told people,

21:30because I think that that's just part of being a human in this interaction of this issue.

21:35But the thing that's really crazy is that the church did not even care that he was having unprotected mattress polo out of wedlock mattress polo with this young lady.

21:49And yet, she's the one who did the bad thing.

21:53Now, you could argue, you know, one person might think she did something wrong and, you know, yada yada.

22:00But they didn't even care.

22:02And I think this is an issue that I do believe is in the church is actually they time and time again will take the side of the man over the woman in this situation.

22:14They both did something sinful, let's just say.

22:19But instead of there being, you know, an equal justice of this, they choose to only go after the female, the woman, for whatever reason.

22:28It's stupid.

22:29It's silly.

22:30And it's wrong.

22:31And it's not actually how Christ would do things.

22:34So, therefore, I think it's a strange thing that a church decided to do this.

22:38I think it's wrong that they would give some letter to kick her out of the church.

22:42Honey, you don't want to be in that church.

22:44Trust me, there's plenty of churches that would not do this to you, in my opinion.

22:48And not only that, your parents, if they got rid of you for this, there's who knows what they would get rid of you if you did something else.

22:57So, I know it's a sad and it's a hard thing.

23:00But I'm glad that she got some form of, you know, justice for what was done to her.

23:07And I do hope and wish her well.
