TVTranscript
00:09In the U.S., it's not the culture to go abroad, to study, but my mom said, oh, well, you
00:19can go to Spain.
00:24And I was an 18-year-old kid, you know, and it was just like this, it was like an
00:29adventure art.
00:31I don't know exactly when things got so fucking bad.
00:42When I moved to Spain, I was the youngest kid in my program.
00:49American college students who were studying abroad in Spain.
00:54I studied abroad in Sevilla.
00:57Sevilla.
00:57Sevilla.
00:59After I got to Spain, we're saying, oh, let's go on a trip.
01:04Discover Excursions was recommended.
01:07We were adults for the first time.
01:10When I look at the photos of that time, we were all very vulnerable.
01:19And something really bad happened, and I don't have the language for it.
01:23She called me hysterical crying.
01:25Like, what the hell happened?
01:30Was happening for years.
01:35I think it was like 50 people towards the end.
01:40I was like, wow, this is wild.
01:45You feel like you were in the room with the devil.
02:02My name is Gabrielle Vaca.
02:04I am 30 years old.
02:09I'm the oldest of three girls.
02:15I grew up in a normal suburb in the U.S.
02:20We got bicycles, and we were always outside, and it was just like a sweet childhood.
02:28My father is a first-generation American.
02:32My mom's from New Jersey.
02:35My family has no Spanish roots, but my husband's side has deep roots in Spain.
02:43His grandparents were from Asturias.
02:48My parents really loved the idea of me going back to Spain and reconnecting with the origin
02:54story of the family.
02:57I remember the night before, I was packing my bag, and I was by myself, and I was getting
03:05really sentimental, and I had started writing letters.
03:10I think that's the only letter she's maybe ever written to me.
03:14It was meaningful.
03:17We knew she was excited, and she really wasn't afraid, and so it was, you know, it was a happy
03:23thing for us to send her off.
03:25I think my dad, I don't want to say regrets, but wishes that he taught me, like, taught us
03:31Spanish when we were younger.
03:34He was looking at, like, where could I learn the purest form of Spanish, and so he was like,
03:40oh, it's in Salamanca.
03:43So, that's kind of why I decided to go there.
04:03I don't know.
04:04I just felt like the world kind of just opened up, and I was just going to do whatever I
04:09could.
04:16I knew nothing about Salamanca.
04:23It's really, really beautiful, and, you know, you learn the little things about, you know,
04:29you meet under the clock when you're going to go meet your friends in the plaza, and that's
04:32where you go to meet, and then you just set the time, get there, whatever.
04:37I didn't know how to drink.
04:38I didn't know how to behave.
04:41I was on my own for the first time.
04:43I didn't speak the language.
04:45It was so new, but I remember living there and feeling like it was, like, the first time
04:50I saw color in my life.
04:52So, I really loved it and tried to immerse myself as much as I could.
05:07I was with kids who were probably, like, 21, 22, 23.
05:16You know, we were thinking about all the trips, because, you know, Europe is, like, packed,
05:20and so I was like, oh, I could go to France, or whatever.
05:23I went to Morocco, I'm going to Africa.
05:24I'm like, well, Africa, I don't know, like, but you could go, like, that would be great.
05:29And so, I had always known that that was one of the trips that I really wanted to take,
05:32just because it was so foreign.
05:37Discover Excursions was known, like, across our group.
05:42I knew they went to Morocco, and it just seemed like tons of kids had done it.
05:50Are you looking for a fun and easy way to travel to Morocco?
05:55Come with Discover Excursions on a safe and eye-opening trip.
06:00Ride on a camel.
06:03Try delicious food, and enjoy sun-filled days in miles of endless desert.
06:10Trust us.
06:11You'll be surprised by what you'll experience in Africa.
06:16Do more than travel.
06:18Discover.
06:21Basically, we were just, like, the market for it, for that company.
06:24You know, it was like, oh, well, you want to go to Morocco?
06:26This is the company.
06:28You know, they had all the marketing.
06:28They had pictures of all of us, like, little American kids going.
06:33Yeah, I mean, it was a, like, Discover Excursions was, like, a legit business.
06:38Welcome.
06:39We're open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
06:42No CSs for us.
06:43Yeah, it was very professional.
06:46It was pretty affordable.
06:47But it was also very much, like, this kind of, like, fun, sort of, like, young environment.
06:54It was young tour guides.
06:57And kids from my program, we all kind of decided to go together.
07:03They had organized the trip.
07:04The days were planned.
07:05You had, like, an itinerary.
07:07And it was, like, I think it was, like, a group of 200.
07:09Like, it was a huge group of kids that went.
07:11I think it was, like, two buses or something.
07:14It was a lot of us.
07:21I remember telling us that she was going to go to Morocco.
07:24So we were, like, oh, this is great.
07:26And I know she was excited.
07:31We basically went to Morocco.
07:34And we went around, like, the northern part of the country.
07:39Wow.
07:51I remember being, like, really impressed at how beautiful it was.
07:54There were these mountains that were really incredible.
07:58The architecture being extremely different.
08:03The main tour guide, my impression, was Manuel.
08:08I remember Manuel talking to all of us on the bus, like, standing up in the front of the bus
08:15and talking about how we're going to have a great time and we're going to do X, Y, and Z.
08:20He seemed friendly and warm and kind of just, like, an excitable person.
08:25Probably in the early 30s, late 20s, he seemed like a nice guy who was going to show us around
08:31and was really excited we were there.
08:37We went to the Blue City and went to the markets that were really, really incredible.
08:44I remember being, like, almost, like, overcome by, like, the aggression of these salesmen.
08:53I was with my friends and we were kind of just excited by the whole thing because it was, like,
08:57we're in this different world and they spoke, like, every language.
09:01They spoke French, English, Spanish.
09:03It was, like, it was overwhelming.
09:05Like, the smells were overwhelming and not in a bad way.
09:08It was just, like, it was like I was in this really new place.
09:18I think it was Saturday and that was the last night of the trip.
09:22Hello, little kitty.
09:24It's so pretty.
09:26They wanted us to feel comfortable the whole time we were there, you know, and they emphasized safety.
09:32Morocco's not super safe.
09:34Like, you guys should stay inside.
09:36Like, there's a bar at the hotel on, like, I think it was, like, the top floor of the hotel.
09:42And, you know, we can go up there if you guys want a drink, but it's best if you guys
09:45don't go outside because at night here it can be kind of sketchy and there's a big group of us.
09:49So we were all encouraged to stay in the hotel that night.
09:55And we went to the bar, me, Ashley, and Nicole, and we were staying in a room together, the three
10:02of us.
10:03I had met them through my program.
10:05I remember I smoked a cigarette with my friends, um, and Manuel popped up.
10:17He was like, oh, well, like, are you guys getting another drink?
10:20And we were like, yeah, we were gonna.
10:21And he, um, came up with this idea where he was like, oh, well, I can get champagne and we
10:26can all hang out in the room and, like, whatever.
10:28And, like, I'll get it.
10:29Like, don't even worry about it sort of thing.
10:31And we were like, I mean, sure.
10:33I didn't even think about it.
10:35I was like, okay, that sounds good.
10:37And, um, we went to our hotel room, the four of us.
10:45He had, like, ordered the champagne to the room.
10:50And he was one that, like, opened the door when it came.
10:55We were, like, sitting on the beds and just hanging out, the three of us girls.
11:03And, yeah, he came over, I'm pretty sure there was, like, a piece of furniture, you know, like, how there's
11:08a piece of furniture in front of the beds.
11:10He had put the champagne there.
11:12And we were behind him on the beds and he just started pouring it with his back to us.
11:21It was very casual.
11:23Like, it was a very, like, friendly kind of environment.
11:30And I just remember, like, his whole fucking, like, vibe started to change.
11:38Um, he wanted to play, like, games and stuff.
11:44He basically started asking us, like, well, how many people have you, like, slept with?
11:50And he would, um, he started saying, like, well, why don't we all switch shirts or play truth or dare?
12:02And he was, like, do you guys mind if we get, like, if I get more comfortable?
12:07And he just, like, takes his pants off.
12:10And he's, like, in his underwear and he takes a pillow and puts it over himself.
12:17I don't fucking, I was just like, what the fuck is that?
12:20And, and, but then you rationalize it and you're like, well, maybe it's just a cultural difference, you know?
12:27Like, maybe, like, maybe it's just him being, I don't know, different.
12:32I don't know.
12:37I remember I started getting really tired, like, really, really tired.
12:42And, um, there was a cot by the closet.
12:47I got up from the bed and I went to the cot.
12:50And I laid down and I, like, knocked out.
13:03I don't know how long I was asleep.
13:05I have no idea.
13:09I just remember, like, I woke up at some point.
13:13And no one was in the room and I felt like shit.
13:18I had never felt that way in my life.
13:21I have not felt that way in my life since.
13:26Like, it was almost like there was, like, a disconnect between my mind and my body where it was, like,
13:30my brain was working on such a slow level.
13:33It was just exhaustion.
13:34Like, I don't know what that was.
13:37When I got up here and I just remember, like, leaning up against the wall and, like, dragging my feet
13:43one in front of the other to, like, get to the bathroom.
13:46I went to go open the bathroom door and when I opened it, Nicole and Ashley and Manuel were all
13:54in the shower, the three of them.
13:56They were in their shirts and underwear and he was in his underwear.
14:00I remember I closed the door and I was like, what the fuck was that?
14:06And then, um, they all came out, like, scurried out.
14:12It almost looks like they were, like, all embarrassed, kind of.
14:15And so I just went in and I sat on the toilet and I was facing the door.
14:23And all I remember...
14:29And it's, like, the thing that's haunted me for years is, like, that memory of just, like, the door swinging
14:34open and seeing his crotch come towards me and then him putting himself in my mouth and then me getting
14:42hit in the, like, head.
14:44And then I just, like, blacked out.
15:07I woke up the next morning in the cot.
15:10And I was in my clothes and my roommates, Nicole and Ashley, were in the beds.
15:16They were sleeping.
15:18He had just, like, he was not in the room.
15:20He was gone.
15:22And I was in a lot of pain.
15:25Like, I was very sore.
15:27And I remember I moved the blanket and I looked at my legs and I had...
15:33I was wearing pants and I remember I looked at my knees and I had, like, bruises on my knees.
15:39It just felt like something was really wrong.
15:42Like, I was just in pain.
15:43And I felt very out of control and very slow.
15:47And I remember getting up, got in the shower, cleaned myself off, and they woke up.
15:55And we had to get, like, all our stuff ready because we were leaving that morning to go back to
16:01Spain.
16:01And, um, I just remember feeling so fucking exhausted.
16:15I got all my stuff, went downstairs with my stuff, and I sat on the couch that morning when we
16:24were getting ready to leave the hotel.
16:27And I remember I put my head back, and I closed my eyes, and I had that flashback of the
16:38door opening and him putting himself in my mouth.
16:44And I remember I, like, felt like I was going to throw up.
16:52And I was, like, so vivid and visual and just, like, horrifying.
16:58Um, that's when I realized what had happened.
17:07The craziest thing was...
17:11I couldn't have a breakdown.
17:14I couldn't freak out.
17:17I was in a different country.
17:18I had to just go through it.
17:20Like, I had to just be, like, just go, just get on the bus.
17:24You'll be fine.
17:26Manuel was at the door of the bus when we were all going on the bus to go to Salamanca.
17:34Um, I walked to get onto the bus, and he just, like, looked over my head.
17:41Like, I was not, like, it was, like, almost, like, completely invisible, which I preferred.
17:57But I didn't cry.
17:59Like, I didn't, I didn't do anything.
18:01I didn't react.
18:04I just went completely into myself, and I was just, like, no one was home.
18:25I think I went back to the U.S. maybe, like, May 2014.
18:31I remember crying on the plane, because I still wasn't really even admitting to myself what had happened.
18:46When she came back, she was not herself.
18:50She was just kind of withdrawn and not herself.
18:53And, and, um, we would say, what's the matter?
18:56Like, what's wrong?
18:57And she's like, oh, I just don't want to be here.
18:59I don't want to be here.
19:00I don't want to, um, you know, I'm just not used to being back in the States.
19:06I can remember researching it, and it was a common thing for kids who had studied abroad.
19:11It's called re-entry depression.
19:15Like, if they come back and they're not themselves, just know that it's normal.
19:19And that's what she kept telling us was going on.
19:25It was, like, my biggest fear, reaching out to my parents and telling them, because I had so much.
19:33So much, like, that I didn't want them to know, you know?
19:39Like, I'm the first kid.
19:45I'm their daughter.
19:47Like, I don't know anyone that this has happened to.
19:51Um, and I just didn't want them to feel like they failed me as parents and let that happen.
20:01So she was only home for maybe, like, a month.
20:03And then it was time to start school, um, at the university, which was, like, about a seven-hour drive
20:09from her house.
20:13Gabrielle showed no enthusiasm.
20:15Like, zero.
20:16She wasn't excited.
20:20I was really, really, really, really depressed.
20:24I had never dealt with depression like that before.
20:28And, um, it was, everything in my life became difficult.
20:33Everything in my life became very difficult.
20:40I started having, like, these, like, suicidal ideation and just, like, these intrusive thoughts about, like, just, like, killing myself.
20:51I thought, you have to tell your parents.
20:53Like, you have to tell your parents, Gabby, what's going on.
20:58I was outside.
21:00It was a Saturday.
21:04It was a beautiful day.
21:06And she called.
21:10And she was like, I'm coming home.
21:12And I was like, you know, why are you coming home?
21:14What's going on?
21:15And I was like, you know, I was raped.
21:18I was raped while I was in Spain.
21:19And, um, I need to come home.
21:24And, um, I honestly, it's kind of a blur after that.
21:32I didn't say what happened.
21:34I said, come.
21:38And it was, like, two and a half years that I didn't tell my family.
21:41They just thought I was depressed.
21:45Having no idea, like, and I think, how could I, as a mother, have no idea?
21:49But I didn't.
21:50And even my mother-in-law, Abuela, had said, do you think something happened to her?
21:55I think something happened to her in Spain.
21:58And I said, nothing happened to her.
21:59This is normal, you know?
22:02And I look back and I say, ugh.
22:03Like, I can't, she knew.
22:05She even recognized that Gabrielle wasn't the same.
22:14My parents opened the door and they just, like, they just gave me a hug.
22:20And, you know, we just, like, tried to go from there.
22:23And I was just, I was, like, desperate.
22:25It was, like, exactly what I needed.
22:27I just got to the point where I just needed my family.
22:29And I had to face the fact that I was, um, suppressing all of, I just had to, like, face
22:35it all and just tell them and stop curing it myself.
22:42Yeah.
22:44I said, did you know this person?
22:45And she said, yes, it was the tour guide.
22:48It was the person who owned the tour company.
22:54And I feel like that's how she felt.
22:56She didn't want to say the words aloud even or to even talk about details.
23:02She just wanted to just be in the security of her own home and be with us.
23:08And they asked me, they were, like, well, do you want to go to the police?
23:11And I was, like, no, no, I don't want to go to the police.
23:13Like, I, I don't want anything to do with that.
23:20It was just, like, a time to kind of just, like, recoup and just heal.
23:27Yeah, it was rough.
23:28It was rough.
23:30A rough time.
23:55I am an artist and graphic designer.
23:58In 2018, I was in my senior year of college at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida.
24:20It was a project that I was working on.
24:24It was an installation on people's experiences, their best and their worst experiences.
24:30It was supposed to be about the idea that we're shaped by our best and worst experiences.
24:39I felt like my world stopped.
24:43I was just totally lost.
24:45I reached out online to Facebook and Instagram and social media in general, trying to find
24:53people to do the interviews and record themselves for it.
25:00Gabrielle ended up being one of the people who responded to it and sent in her, um, her audio
25:09recording of her best and her worst day.
25:15When I heard her worst day, um, there was just, there was something very familiar about it.
25:24This is Gabrielle.
25:25I'm going to start answering your questions.
25:28The saddest moment in my life?
25:30Probably when I was raped.
25:35I was in Morocco by myself, well, not by myself, uh, with two friends and, uh, we went on
25:45a tour, like a tour guide with me and did some fucked up shit.
25:50Anyways, that was really hard for a 19-year-old girl.
25:55Yeah, and after that day, everything was just different.
26:01I wasn't a kid anymore.
26:05She didn't say the name of the company.
26:08She didn't say Manu's name.
26:10It was just a gut feeling that I had.
26:13And that was what prompted me to reach out to her.
26:24She sends me a message and she's like, hey, like, thank you for sending this.
26:28You know, I really appreciate you doing that.
26:30I'm so sorry this happened to you.
26:32And ask her if the company that she had gone with was Discover Excursions.
26:39She said yes.
26:41She asked me if the person I was talking about was, um, Manu.
26:46And I said yes.
26:51And so I just started panicking, like, completely lost my mind.
26:57I knew about something very similar happening to somebody else.
27:04I went to Spain to study abroad in 2017.
27:17My older sister had recommended Discover Excursions to us.
27:22Um, we wanted to go on the Morocco trip.
27:27You know, and you want to believe that your tour guides will have your best interests at heart
27:33when you're out of the country with them.
27:38I remember that there would be, like, one night during these trips
27:44that would be, like, a big party that they would throw.
27:59And that actually ended up being the night where he, um, he assaulted these other girls on our trip.
28:10I saw him acting weird around her.
28:13He was just all over Catherine.
28:18I felt like he was, like, following her and just was always around her, always talking to her.
28:28I asked Liz, I was like, can you get me in contact with her?
28:37So then I reached out to this girl, she was like, yeah, like, Manuel basically pushed me on the bed
28:43and tried to put himself on me, and I got really freaked out, but, um, but I actually heard that
28:49something worse happened to two other girls on a different Discover Excursions trip.
28:55So I was like, okay, can you put me in contact with them?
28:58Like, I need to track them down and talk to them.
29:02And, um, so I got in contact with Haley and Carly for the first time.
29:18And they basically told me that he cornered them in a room, both of them in a room, in Portugal,
29:27on one of the Discover Excursions trip.
29:30He very much was trying to get us to just keep drinking.
29:36Like, he wanted to play a game of truth or dare, and he wanted us to, you know, kiss him
29:41and dance for him.
29:42Was grabbing one of them by the wrist and want to let them go,
29:45and he was trying to force them to touch him.
29:50He said, one of, one of you touch me, one of you kiss me.
29:54He told us that we could not leave because we could not leave him with blue balls.
30:00And they were freaked out. Freaked out.
30:03Haley was able to kind of spin away from him. And then when Haley told him to let me go,
30:10he told her that he couldn't let me go because someone had to finish the job.
30:16And she had to run out into the hallway and basically open the door and say,
30:20if you don't fucking get out of here, we're going to tell everyone what you're doing.
30:23He let me go. And, and then the next day he was gone.
30:29And all of the other tour guides said that he had had a family emergency.
30:39So once I found those three women, I had like a complete switch in my mind.
30:53But she called me hysterical crying. He's doing this to other girls.
30:57He's doing this to other girls. And I was like, what are you talking about?
31:02I was in the car driving home on the phone with my mom and immediately focusing on what I was
31:09going to do.
31:11So I got home and started posting on Facebook that day.
31:19My rapist is still raping people. Like, if you know anyone that's going to Spain,
31:23you need to tell them that Manuel Blanco Vela at Discover Excursions is harming women. Like,
31:30please share this. Me too. So I just started writing nonstop. And I took it to a whole other level
31:38where I just started, I wrote the same message. Hey, haven't heard from you in a while. My rapist
31:45is still raping people. Can you please share my Facebook status? Like, like insane stuff. I sent it
31:52to like, probably 200 people. Just direct message on Facebook, just sending that out. My dad had
32:01contacts in Miami with the general consul at the embassy, the Spanish embassy in Miami.
32:11So I went down there, told them what was going on, told them I found these women.
32:16And I remember the general consul was very kind
32:20and was going to help me, but was hesitant. Like, he was like, you shouldn't go on the news about
32:25this.
32:26Like, you shouldn't talk to anyone about this. I wonder why he didn't want us to go to the press,
32:30you know, because it's bad press for the country.
32:39And the second he told me no, I was like, that's exactly what I'm going to fucking do.
32:57We were in the green room and I was like, starting to get really freaked out. Like, I was like,
33:02blacking out, you know?
33:03Yeah. One minute, guys. One minute, guys. Here we go. Let's have a good show.
33:12I remember I was standing behind the stage and, um, I just started sobbing.
33:29And I just started breaking down and she came up to me and she was like,
33:34you're doing a really good thing. Like, I think this is really going to help you and you're going
33:38to get them. And I was like, okay, well, if Megyn Kelly says it, I guess, fuck it. Like,
33:43I got to go and do this. And so I, she goes out on the stage and then I go
33:48out and I remember just
33:50like looking at her and she asked me a question and I literally don't remember anything from it.
34:00But apparently it went really well. My husband and I were in the green room while they did the
34:04filming and we were very proud of her. And I think at the time we knew that this is going
34:11to,
34:11this is going to be something big. I knew
34:18that I was going into really unknown territory. I had no idea what I was,
34:24I had no idea that this was going to turn out the way it did.
34:32When that show happened, a lot of people started reaching out to me.
34:37My phone just started going off.
34:53I was sitting there and was like, wow, this is wild.
34:57I don't even think he was mentioned, but yeah, I was like, oh, this is Manu.
35:02All came crashing together, hearing Gabrielle's story.
35:08I never in a million years would have thought it was Manu. I felt a big sense of clarity,
35:14but also like an insane amount of anger.
35:19I guess when I learned from Gabrielle, it felt like so clearly that he is a serial predator and
35:27that he committed these crimes and assaults. That's when I knew that what happened to me
35:35was happening to women for years after and probably years before.
35:41I was telling my parents like, oh, I found a girl here from Rhode Island.
35:45Oh, I found a girl here from Virginia. Oh, I found two girls from Florida.
35:49Three girls from Florida. One's in New York.
35:51Like finding all these women and my parents were just like, Jesus fucking Christ, kid.
36:10This is part of the story that I, I emailed or messaged Gabrielle about. That one day,
36:18I believe this was early April. I sat in the office and Manu's not there.
36:28My job was literally to go through, there was like different Facebook groups of universities
36:35studying abroad. And I was supposed to go through each individual person and send them a message from
36:41the Discover Excursions account saying, come to Morocco and here's like a discount code.
36:52And then I see I'm kind of like pacing on the phone.
36:57And then he comes in and he grabs me like usual, Aubrey, it's time to go to lunch.
37:02I need to tell you, you know, what's, what's going on. And I'm like, okay.
37:09So we go to lunch. He sits down, he orders like usual. He always orders all the stuff for us.
37:18And he goes outside and he's just walking and pacing on the phone, like a little frantic.
37:28Then finally he comes, he sits down, he can't eat anything. And he tries to explain to me like,
37:37there are these girls who are just trying to ruin my reputation and hurt me and get my money.
37:47I don't know why they would do something like this. This is horrible. And my, my poor family,
37:53like this is ruining my reputation. This is going to cause pain for my mom.
37:58I was like, Oh, wow. Yeah. Like that's, that's crazy. He was trying to twist it. He was trying to
38:07get my sympathy.
38:11And I, I went back to the office and he left and I knew that it was on the today
38:17show. And I watched the today show
38:22and I saw just how bad it was. And I left. And then the next day, I think the office
38:34was shut down.
38:38We are very careful of this case that has been viral in the last few weeks.
38:42The police are investigating if a tourist tourist company of Sevilla has violated a dozens of clients,
38:48in its majority of the United States.
38:49A student of Florida just announced his case and this has desencadened a lot of similar testimonies.
38:56We have approached this company that, as you can see, we have found closed.
39:00We have also tried to talk with his director, who now has not responded to the messages of the media.
39:12Llamo a la agencia, Discovery Excursions, nadie coge el teléfono, me presenta allí porque está cerca de la redacción.
39:19Allí eso está cerrado, no hay nadie. Consigo el móvil de Manuel Blanco.
39:24Le llamo, me cogió el teléfono, le dije que era Fernando Pérez Ávila de Diario de Sevilla,
39:29que quería hablar con él y me colgó, directamente.
39:32Y le decido escribir un mensaje de WhatsApp. Él me responde muy escuetamente.
39:39Desde nuestra empresa solo podemos comentar que son todo injurias y calumnias.
39:43No existen demandas ni pruebas de ningún tipo. Todo se hizo viral y sin fundamento.
39:48Los abogados de la empresa están al tanto, en Estados Unidos y en España.
39:51Simplemente ese fue el mensaje que me que me mandó y que yo reproduje íntegramente en mi noticia.
40:00I remember people started sending me stuff and I'm pretty sure somebody sent me the screenshot of like the Google
40:08permanently closed location thing and that was fucking awesome.
40:17It was awesome. It was amazing. It was like, it was like, okay, so now the access is cut off.
40:27Fuck you. Fuck your friends. Fuck everyone who supported you. Fuck you.
40:50I would say the majority of the messages came
40:53that week
40:55it was like,
40:56and then they would slowly start rolling in because then I would have girls come and be like,
41:00my friend was raped by him, but she's too afraid to contact you.
41:06I was raped by him, but
41:09I don't want to tell my family. Like, I don't know what to do. Like, like a bunch of people
41:13coming to me and trying to
41:15like, they would come to me and tell me everything.
41:19It was like one of those moments where I had no idea what I was involved in.
41:26And I remember I got a direct message on Facebook.
41:32She said,
41:33Manuel Blanco Vela killed my daughter.
42:00It's a mess now.
