00:01In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous.
00:07In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are
00:11members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit.
00:15These are their stories.
00:34No! No! I think she hit her head!
00:37Let's go!
00:38I don't think she's breathing, man!
00:39Get back in the car!
00:40Come on, let's get out of here.
00:41Let's go!
00:54Help! There's a girl on the ground over here!
00:56She needs a doctor!
00:57Over here!
00:59Help!
01:03He's a waffle guy.
01:04I'm good with coffee, thanks.
01:07Like I said, I looked through hundreds of cases.
01:10I'm sure you did.
01:11And, uh, are there minor mistakes?
01:15Yeah, sure.
01:17License plate, numbers transposed, paperwork misfiled, small stuff.
01:21You could find worse in my jacket.
01:23Could we now?
01:24It's not like there was incompetence or corruption.
01:28I'd like to decide for myself, Jake.
01:31May I have a file?
01:40You're wrong about this.
01:43You're wrong about Benson, okay?
01:46Whatever chain of command or BS you're hung up on, let it go.
01:51Wow.
01:52Six months as a detective and he's ready to run the bureau.
01:58Do you remember when you had that problem in high school with that kid and you called me?
02:02You're not doing that.
02:04You're not doing that.
02:05No, this is not about how many times you helped me or how tight you were with my dad.
02:09I'm not going to look the other way when you're doing something wrong.
02:12What am I doing wrong?
02:14You're undermining a good cop.
02:17You're letting your ego make decisions, yeah?
02:20And when you can't get to her, you go after someone in her unit.
02:24Then you set me up to be the fall guy.
02:26That's untrue.
02:26I still don't understand why.
02:29If Captain Benson asked you to do something and you did the opposite, what do you think would happen?
02:36That's not the same thing.
02:37It's exactly the same thing.
02:38I am not being unreasonable.
02:40I'm not even being political.
02:41I'm being a boss.
02:42If she does good, you look good, right?
02:46Why not just make her an ally?
02:49I tried.
02:51Benson's only ever allied with herself.
02:57There's a teenage girl in the hospital, head trauma, signs of sexual assault.
03:01Oh.
03:06Jake, you can leave the file.
03:13I found her school ID in her pocket.
03:16Emma Burns, 16, tense Carlton prep.
03:18How is she doing?
03:19Stable, but unconscious.
03:21There's a subdural hematoma from getting tossed out of the car.
03:24Bruising and blood in her underwear.
03:26Plus the top screen showed the razepam in her system.
03:28Anybody get a good look at the car that dumped her?
03:31Witness said it was an SUV.
03:32We can get you the security footage, but they said it's not helpful.
03:35Sorry.
03:35Thank you so much.
03:36All right, look, razepam is a benzo, so that increases impulsivity and it induces memory loss.
03:42Basically a roofie.
03:43Yes.
03:44Hey, how was your breakfast?
03:47No, I'm talking to a charming brick wall.
03:49Yeah.
03:50You back with us?
03:51So Cap don't make me a cake, but yeah, I'm back.
03:54That's good to hear.
03:54So how about the two of you go through the security footage and see if you can see something that
04:00they didn't?
04:05Something's up with this kid.
04:08You think he knows something?
04:09What's that?
04:11Hey.
04:13Hey, hey, hey, stop.
04:15You got me running the first day back?
04:16Seriously?
04:17Hey.
04:22Oh, and it's unlocked.
04:24Thanks, kid.
04:25Hey, that's private property.
04:26You can't take that.
04:27Technically, it's abandoned property, which we can't search.
04:30Please just give it back.
04:31I didn't do anything wrong.
04:32I'm just here visiting someone.
04:33Look at this.
04:34At the hospital.
04:35Cops here.
04:35Nobody better snitch.
04:38You know what the first rule about not snitching is?
04:42Don't text about not snitching.
04:53Don't text about not snitching.
04:56Bye, let's stay.
05:00Bye, bye, bye.
05:07Bye.
05:07Bye.
05:33Oh, my God.
05:36Ethan's social media helped identify the kids in this video.
05:39All seniors at Carleton Prep.
05:41Oh, I've heard of that. It's a high-end private school.
05:44So these four, Ethan Weiss, Matt Davis, John Gallagher, Casey Stewart, were all on the group chat.
05:49Possibly the ones that took her to the hospital.
05:51And no luck with Ethan.
05:52I tried. He's not talking.
05:53These private school kids ain't gonna talk to the cops. Their parents will pay for the best lawyers in the
05:57city.
05:58Most of these kids are 17 years old, so we don't need their parents' consent to talk to them.
06:02Let's grab them on the way to school.
06:05And ever since she cut her hair, she looks like a hippopotamus.
06:07Hey.
06:09What the hell, bruh?
06:11Come with me, bruh.
06:12You too.
06:13Let's go.
06:27All sticks and stems. You got beat, kid.
06:32So let's start with an easy one. Where was the party last night?
06:36Look, I'd love to help you, but I have no idea what you're even saying right now.
06:39Casey, your friend may have been sexually assaulted, and I think that you can help her.
06:44And I think I'd like to speak to my attorney.
06:48Just tell us what happened. We'll forget about the weed.
06:51What weed?
06:52Wise guy, huh?
06:53Wise enough not to talk to cops.
06:56So, John, your friend, Emma, she's in pretty bad shape.
07:02She may have been sexually assaulted, and we're just trying to figure out what happened.
07:06So can you help me help her?
07:11Lawyer.
07:12We know you care about Emma.
07:14You came to the hospital to check on her.
07:16You tried to help her, right? You saw that she was in trouble, and you tried to help her?
07:23Listen, I swear.
07:24That's enough.
07:25Ethan, I'm your lawyer. Don't say another word.
07:30Calm down.
07:31Leaving to a room at tomorrow. You need to release these kids immediately.
07:34I'm not going to let these...
07:35Who's not going anywhere?
07:41Let's give donuts at the courthouse for this? What a mess.
07:44Well, they all lawyered up and won't talk, and we can't hold them.
07:47Which means we got no leads. There's nothing you can do.
07:52I put all the lawyers in the conference room. I got an idea.
07:56Just give us a minute.
07:57All right, guys? Thank you.
07:59Hey.
08:00So, I wanted to give you a heads up. I did some digging, and I found a retired IAB detective
08:05who investigated your dad's shooting.
08:07Oh, yeah?
08:10Okay. Case I'm on is a cluster.
08:12All right. That's fine. It's best I talk to him anyway.
08:14I owe you.
08:15Yeah. I take Venmo.
08:22Sonny, what's up with all the theatrics? You know you can't talk to our clients.
08:27You're right. I'm not going to talk to all of them. I'm only going to talk to one of them.
08:32What does that mean?
08:33These kids are in deep. And I'm going to make an offer to the first one that comes forward with
08:39useful information.
08:39The rest can drown.
08:41Come on, Carisi.
08:43There's a teenage girl in the hospital because one of your dumbass clients dropped her on her head.
08:47The strain is leaving the station.
08:50And I'm only letting one kid ride.
08:52You all have my number.
09:04I really thought one would flip.
09:06Look, it was worth a shot. We'll figure something else out.
09:12No need. We got a bite.
09:16I keep seeing her face. Her lips were blue.
09:20Yeah, we saw the video. And we also saw that you were drinking.
09:24Just tell them what we talked about.
09:29We went to John's apartment to party after school. I only had one drink, maybe two.
09:33We had no idea.
09:34He told us it was just him and John.
09:36Mr. and Mrs. Weiss, just please, let Ethan answer. Go ahead.
09:41At some point, I fell asleep. And then all of a sudden, John and Casey were shaking me awake, saying
09:47that Emma might be dead.
09:49You didn't call 911?
09:50I wanted to, but they didn't let me. Like you said, we had been drinking. We just didn't want to
09:55get in trouble.
09:56So you drove her to the hospital yourselves?
09:59Yeah, but I didn't mean for her to hit her head. I lost my grip and she fell. And then
10:03John and Casey were yelling at me. I didn't know what to do. I tried to pick her back up.
10:07But Ethan has given a statement. Now, let's talk to you. Full immunity from my client.
10:11If you want full immunity, he's got to give me more than that.
10:14Hey, Ethan. It doesn't matter if your intentions were good. Emma almost died. She may have been raped. So if
10:22you know something, you can help her.
10:25Ethan, you don't have to sit anymore.
10:26It's okay. Enough.
10:28Emma started to act weird. She seemed out of it. And then I saw her go in the guest bedroom
10:35with Matt.
10:44All right. According to Ethan, Emma and Matt, they were flirting the entire night and then they snuck off into
10:49the guest room together and Emma was unsteady on her feet.
10:53Okay, but Ethan didn't intervene?
10:54Well, he didn't think it was a big deal. He figured they were going off together and Emma must have
10:58consented. Excuse me.
10:59She was 16 and full of drugs. Where'd the lorazepam come from anyway?
11:02Ethan said that there were no drugs at the party.
11:04Was Matt drunk too?
11:05Ethan said that Matt had one drink, possibly two.
11:09So he's sober enough to know better.
11:11We have a suspect and a crime scene. Go check out the apartment.
11:15That was Matt's lawyer. He wants to talk.
11:18All right.
11:20My client has come forward of his own volition. He's willing to cooperate.
11:25But before you take him into custody, there's something you should see.
11:30What's this?
11:31It's a toxicology report.
11:34Matt woke up the morning after the party with no memory of the previous night.
11:38I ordered the report.
11:39It shows lorazepam glucoronide in his urine at a rate of 30 nanograms per milliliter,
11:45which is more than enough to impair decision-making and memory.
11:50Since benzos only remain in the urine for one to three days,
11:53it is likely he ingested the drug at the party in question,
11:56which Matt swears he did not willingly do.
12:02So what are you saying?
12:03Our son was drugged.
12:06I had one drink early in the night and never took any drugs.
12:09Well, who do you think would have drugged you?
12:13He clearly doesn't know anything.
12:15And if any sex occurred, I suggest you look at my client as a victim, not the perpetrator.
12:21Okay.
12:22Well, hopefully we're going to get to the bottom of what happened.
12:26I'm just awake.
12:30No, it's not true.
12:32I know that it's hard to hear, but your injuries are consistent with the sexual assault.
12:38Matt cares for me.
12:40He would never rape me.
12:41Okay.
12:41Do you have any memory of the night?
12:44Because one of your friends said that they saw you and Matt walking into a bedroom
12:49and you were having trouble walking.
12:51Well, no.
12:53I like Matt, so if we did anything, I would have wanted it to happen.
12:57You had lorazepam in your system, and that's a drug that can cause memory loss and confusion.
13:04So do you remember taking anything like that?
13:06No.
13:07I don't take any pills.
13:10I don't get wasted.
13:12Because I just, I don't ever want to feel like I'm not in control, okay?
13:17Okay.
13:18I believe you.
13:20So how about you tell me anything that you do remember leading up to the party?
13:26And nothing is too small.
13:28You know, little things can be important.
13:30We went to John's apartment after school.
13:32So were his parents home?
13:34When his dad died.
13:36Tully was there, though.
13:37And Tully is his mother.
13:38Yeah.
13:39Did she know that you all were drinking?
13:42It's not a big deal.
13:44And she said that it's safer to drink at her place rather than some, like, back alley.
13:48So she's cool.
13:50Uh-huh.
13:50She doesn't treat us like kids.
13:52Was she drinking with you?
13:55Only a little, but hardly anything.
13:57Right.
13:59Look, Tully's a good person.
14:01She's like one of us.
14:02She's a friend.
14:03And she's the one who told me that Matt has a crush on me.
14:06Oh.
14:07When did she tell you that?
14:08At the party.
14:08And, um, she told me to go for it.
14:14And if Matt and I wanted to use the guest bedroom, that we could.
14:19Emma, I think that you know that it's inappropriate for an adult to say that.
14:27Okay.
14:28So, what happened next?
14:33I don't remember anything after that.
14:41NYPD, we're looking for Talia Federov.
14:44Who are you?
14:45Uh, Detective Griffin, Sergeant Tutuola.
14:47We need to ask you a few questions.
14:48Take a look around the apartment.
14:50Why would you need to look around my apartment?
14:53We think someone may have been sexually assaulted here at a party the other night.
14:56Oh, my God.
14:57Who?
14:57In my home here?
14:58We already have a suspect.
14:59We just need to take a look at the crime scene.
15:02We'll be in and out in five minutes.
15:03I would love to help you guys out.
15:05I really would, but my dad is a retired judge.
15:08Owen Federov, I'm sure you've heard of him.
15:10And he would absolutely kill me if I let law enforcement in without a warrant, so I'm sorry.
15:14Good thing we brought one.
15:15All right, guys, come on in.
15:17Spread out.
15:19Um, this is a mistake.
15:21I'm sure of it.
15:22You can't just waltz in here and barge in and start touching everything.
15:25Ma'am, Quiff, find the guest room.
15:28Copy.
15:29The guest room?
15:30There's nothing in the guest room that you need to see.
15:36So this is your daughter's room?
15:38What?
15:39No, I don't have a daughter.
15:41This is my room.
15:44Listen, I just let them have a couple of drinks.
15:47It's not a big deal.
15:48I mean, wouldn't you rather that than having them drink at some park unsupervised?
15:53I just wanted to create a safe space.
15:55I just wanted to create a safe space.
16:11Hey, you got tweezers?
16:13Yeah.
16:17What you got?
16:24Hidden camera.
16:29Detective, do you have kids?
16:32So, I mean, you would understand.
16:34My son was bullied all throughout school, and so was I.
16:37I tried to step in and create a space for him and his friends to have some fun.
16:41That's all.
16:42I didn't do anything bad.
16:44I just helicopter mom, I guess.
16:47But I did it for my son.
16:50You know what I never did for my son?
16:52Rufi is friends.
16:54Talia Fedorov, you're under arrest.
16:56Turn around.
16:57What?
16:59I...
17:01The test you have is endangering the welfare of a child for the alcohol misdemeanor.
17:05Well, don't forget about the lorazepam.
17:08The medicine cabinet wasn't locked.
17:10It's not the first time that kids helped themselves to a parent's prescriptions.
17:13That doesn't explain the hidden camera.
17:15Yeah, and the only device the camera was connected to was your cell phone.
17:19That camera was used to check on her aunt, who had dementia, and who was staying with them until she
17:25passed away.
17:26Okay, show us the video.
17:27Sorry, the camera only screened the video directly, so there are no recordings.
17:31Oh, so you were watching teenagers have sex in your guest bedroom live?
17:33That is an outrageous accusation.
17:36Well, tell us about this unlawful surveillance charge, 1995.
17:40You would have been, what, a college freshman?
17:42Is that when you picked up your peeping kink, Talia?
17:44You were charged as a youthful offender, which is usually sealed, but thankfully, we got a great ADA.
17:49Taking pics through the dorm window of football players and cheerleaders?
17:52I was walking down the street.
17:53No, Talia, street client.
17:54No, their curtains were wide open.
17:55Talia.
17:56What?
17:56This is...
17:56Talia.
17:57A wide oak plea is hard to come by.
17:59Must be nice to have a father who's a judge with juice.
18:02Must be nice.
18:03That must be what privilege buys.
18:05What is that?
18:06Never having to face consequences.
18:16Welcome back, Judge Fedorov.
18:17Oh, thanks, Sam.
18:18I wish it was under better circumstances.
18:21This is calendar number three.
18:22The people in the state of New York versus Talia Fedorov.
18:25Defendants charged with two counts of facilitating a sexual offense with controlled substance
18:29and two counts of using a child for sexual performance.
18:33Good morning, Your Honor.
18:34So we're lying in for the defendant.
18:35My client enters a plea of not guilty.
18:37As the bail, Your Honor, the defendant is accused of a Class D violent felony.
18:40I read the complaint.
18:42Defending has no criminal record.
18:43I'm going to release her on her own recognizance and assign this case to Judge Kevin Ryan.
18:52Next case.
19:02Hey, what was that?
19:04You didn't know.
19:04Talia's father was the chief criminal court.
19:08Oh.
19:08So I see that membership still has its privileges.
19:16So, what can I do for you, gentlemen?
19:18I appreciate the time, Judge.
19:20I just wanted to discuss your relationship with the defendant's father.
19:24Well, it's common knowledge that we were friends.
19:26That was years ago.
19:27I certainly don't see it as a problem.
19:28Well, no, of course not.
19:29But, um, I mean, I just think we should really try to, uh, avoid even the appearance of impropriety here.
19:35Oh, so you're suggesting there's something, uh, improper about me trying the case?
19:39Everybody knows he was your mentor, Judge.
19:41Mentor?
19:42Judge Fedorov was close with many judges in this building.
19:45Even so, I think it would be wise for you to recuse yourself.
19:49Denied.
19:50Anything else?
19:52Uh, yeah, actually, Your Honor, I was hoping that this meeting would be about Mr. Carisi offering my client a
19:58misdemeanor.
19:58A misdemeanor?
20:00Yeah.
20:01One of those kids almost died.
20:02That's never gonna happen.
20:03I appreciate your passion, Mr. Carisi, but if I were you, I'd think on it.
20:07Thank you, Judge.
20:09But no deal.
20:12Well, then, I guess I will see both you gentlemen in court.
20:17It's totally normal to feel nervous, right?
20:20So, ADA Carisi is gonna prep you in his office.
20:24Okay.
20:24And he's gonna go through every single question with you, right, before you have to testify.
20:30Uh, will you be there, too?
20:31Oh, yes, absolutely.
20:32Okay, absolutely.
20:35Here, why don't you have a seat?
20:37Okay.
20:38Can I, can I make you a cup of tea?
20:40Yeah.
20:41Great.
20:42Great.
20:45So, Emma, is there, um, is there something else bothering you?
20:48Something you want to talk about?
20:51That's right.
20:52I'll handle it.
20:54Okay.
20:56I, you know, you mentioned at the hospital that you never wanted to feel out of control.
21:02That, uh, it seems like it's something that is very important to you.
21:10Yeah?
21:10Yeah.
21:11A lot of people that I've talked to, you know, survivors of trauma, experience something
21:17called hypervigilance.
21:18And it's when your brain works really, really hard, right?
21:22Scanning for threats to make sure that they're safe.
21:26And they sort of live in a constant state of fight or flight.
21:31You ever, you ever feel like that?
21:35Sometimes.
21:36I want you to know that you can talk to me, because I know a little bit about that.
21:47If I, uh, if I tell you something, do you, do you have to tell other people?
21:53Well, sometimes I do, yeah.
21:56If you need me to keep it between us, then, then I will.
22:01I promise I'll keep it between us.
22:04Okay.
22:10When I was younger, like, like 12, um, my uncle, he, he would, he would touch me.
22:23And he would have me, uh, touch him.
22:26And I knew, I knew, I knew it was wrong.
22:29That I, you know, I couldn't make him stop.
22:31It was during, like, seventh grade.
22:35But that's it.
22:36That's, that's what happened.
22:38I'm so sorry, Emma.
22:40I'm so sorry that that happened.

26:30thanks for your time i'm telling you i have nothing but admiration for your work with svu mr
26:37carissa thank you judge that uh it means a lot to me i must take a toll you know a
26:42heavy load
26:44you know what how about i tell you all about it but after this trial because seeing as your daughter's
26:49the defendant in this case i don't think it's even appropriate for us to be speaking right now
26:52i thought you might say that good day judge do you have children mr carissa
27:04yes i do i'm sure you agree that you'd do anything to protect it
27:11my suggestion is a lighter load for you makes a lighter load for me
27:20with respect judge i'm not interested in lightening anyone's load
27:25i just want to try a fair case you know i was on the bench for over 30 years
27:29that doesn't mean anything to you it means you know damn well that your friend judge ryan should
27:33recuse himself have a good day judge
27:45and after the defendant gave you this drink what happened i don't remember i i blacked out
27:49and did you submit for a toxicology screen yes and it showed i had lorazepam in my system which
27:55i never took so the defendant spiked your drink objection assumes facts not an evidence sustain
28:01matt matt did you see anyone put lorazepam in your drink after the defendant gave it to you
28:08no thank you nothing further your honor
28:13mr davis tell the jury about the deal you made with mr carissa to get you to testify
28:19objection he knows there's no deal overruled your honor assumes facts not an evidence sit down mr carissa
28:29well there is no deal isn't it true that you were investigated for the rape of emma burns
28:36yeah i guess but yeah but you were never arrested or charged for that sexual assault correct
28:42correct who made the call to not charge you
28:50i guess mr carissa
28:55hey we're gonna have to go out there now so we can take a deep breath
28:58hey i don't know what happened she was fine and she had trouble breathing
29:03okay hey emma i'm here i'm here hey can you tell me what happened
29:10what's going on all those people
29:14okay emma i'm gonna be right there with you you just you just focus on me okay i'm gonna be
29:19right
29:20there in the gallery deep breath
29:24here you go deep breath
29:34it's okay honey it's okay
29:38can you adjourn early there's no way ryan's gonna go for that
29:44i can't put her on a stand like this
29:46you may not have to
29:51based on the evidence and your years of experience do you believe that the defendant
29:55drugged two teenagers emma burns and matt davis in order to watch them have sex
30:00on a hidden camera yes i do thank you captain no further questions your honor
30:09captain
30:11is it fair to say that the alleged victim in this case was under the influence on the night in
30:18question
30:18there's nothing alleged about it the evidence proves that emma is a victim
30:23but she doesn't remember any of it so how do we know she's not making it up well victims of
30:28sexual assault often have trouble remembering traumatic events especially when they're drugged against their will did emma ever mention any
30:37other traumatic events in her life we spoke of many things
30:41any of those pertinent to this case
30:45not that i can speak of captain benson has emma ever claimed to have been sexually assaulted before
30:51objection your honor overruled
30:58my duty is to protect the victim your honor
31:04you are under oath captain and you will answer the question
31:08i'm sorry but i can't
31:12ladies and gentlemen i'm going to send you on a short break we uh have some
31:17boring legal matters to address grab a coffee stretch your legs and we'll call you back in shortly
31:37your honor the rape shield law specifically limits the defense's ability to introduce the past sexual behavior this isn't about
31:44past sexual behavior this is to establish if the girl has lied in the past about sexual assault and goes
31:50directly to her credibility
31:51i agree captain benson will answer the question i can't do that your honor i'm sorry
32:00are you refusing to comply with the court order legally she cannot answer that question sit down mr carisi
32:09captain i don't want to refuse i'm simply obeying the rape shield law which was passed to protect victims
32:17if you refuse my order i will hold you in contempt of court
32:21your honor captain benson is following the law you can't do this
32:24you don't tell me what i can do in my own courtroom mr carisi
32:32it's your last chance captain
32:36my duty is to protect the victim i can't and won't answer the question
32:44put her inside
33:06listen i'll defend you right not to answer that question in court but what the hell is going on i'm
33:09sorry carisi i can't i can't say no it's okay
33:15you don't have to go to jail for this don't worry about that emma i will not be manipulated by
33:21that lawyer
33:24i'm not going to either
33:32captain benson knows
33:35what uncle ian did to me
33:39i can't keep it a secret anymore
33:43and neither can you
33:45you have to tell everyone
33:48i'm not afraid anymore
33:51okay
33:53okay
33:53how did that lawyer know about this
33:57because i told talia
34:02she acted sympathetic and kind
34:06and now she's going to use it against me
34:10i'm really sorry mom because i thought that i could trust her
34:18you have nothing
34:20to be sorry for
34:26i'm sorry
34:30i am so so sorry
34:44no charges were ever filed
34:46no
34:47she never even reported it
34:50that's not uncommon in these types of circumstances
34:53so we just have to take her word for it
34:56she told her mother
34:58she also told your client
34:59is it fair to say
35:01that charges were never filed against the uncle because her mother didn't believe that she'd been sexually assaulted
35:06objection your honor
35:08overruled
35:08answer captain
35:09no
35:11that's not fair to say
35:12emma is not a liar
35:14and her mother
35:16couldn't protect her
35:17because people
35:18with money
35:19and people with influence
35:21held all the power
35:24but that's what this trial is for
35:27to even the odds
35:31and to give power back to the people
35:33who deserve it the most
35:37emma do you drink alcohol often
35:39maybe a drink or two
35:41if i'm at a party
35:42very normal for a teen
35:43i can't say that i didn't
35:44steal a beer out of the fridge
35:46in the garage
35:46every once in a while
35:47when i was a kid
35:48careful mr caree
35:49sorry your honor
35:50we weren't all law-abiding teenagers
35:53emma
35:54was it strange
35:56for an adult
35:57to be giving you alcohol
35:58at first
36:00yes
36:01but we knew that talia's father was a judge
36:03so we felt safe
36:04and did you and talia become close
36:06we did
36:07she said that she understood me
36:10and that i could tell her anything
36:12what'd you talk about
36:14we talked about
36:15the boys that i liked
36:16and school stuff
36:23and i um
36:27told talia that my uncle
36:29molested me
36:33and is this the secret
36:35that captain benson
36:36was willing to go to jail
36:37to keep
36:37yes
36:41and why did you want to keep it secret
36:46i was ashamed
36:50i was afraid that it was going to make me and my family look bad
36:53and i told talia because
36:55i
36:57i trusted her
36:59i thought that i could
37:02but she used my
37:03my secret
37:05my abuse to make me look like a liar
37:08to try and break me
37:10objection
37:11sustained
37:12the jury will disregard
37:14emma
37:16why do you say that
37:18talia knew i wanted to hide it
37:21i think
37:23she hoped that it would make me fall apart
37:29but it didn't talia
37:33i'm stronger than you think
37:35objection
37:35sustained
37:37jury will disregard
