You're making me sound like a sket. A "sket"? Is that a prostitute?
Mrpalli7729 October 2017
A teenager came home late, violating the curfew dictated by his mother. As a result, she took his mobile phone, menacing him to take even his laptop next time he will be back late. Shortly after, she noticed a MMS received in which three guys took advantage of a girl (Jessica Lester), killing her by gunshot. Detectives watch the footage to find out who are the perps. At first they find an early teenager who has uploaded the video online and then it's easy to discover who the victim was: she was a track-and-field athlete who missed the last training. Back in her home, Brooks and Casey are shocked in seeing she's still alive, safe and sound. What really happened was the rape, the murder has just been staged by a fake gun. Lawyers have to convince the jury that the sex wasn't consensual as stated by the three brats.

This episode show us the new millennium rape: made by teenagers who aren't ashamed of bragging and spreading footage to all schoolmates in a blink of an eye. Victims should have guts in press charges against them, but it's not easy.

Sadly back in 2011 shows Criminal Kids film their crimes, and it

Warning: Spoilers
And it is often enough to be seen by some judges as not good enough for evidence. I am unsure why the Crown Prosecutors never used a Psych forensic specialist to explain how "Fear" can make people freeze as these girls did. I think the Jury knew about freezing in danger. I am a Veteran, and I know many (including myself) tough Vets that have frozen in the Field, back at home, and even in dreams. Just watch the present season that ended on SEALS on CBS. If they can, then a Psych Professional could prove Children/Teens/Adults can freeze; and it would have NOT mattered if it was a Toy Gun or Real, ... Victims of Gun Crimes even in 2021 most do not know if it was real or not, add being out numbered adds to what a Victim of a Crime will do. How often have we seen in some Crime Show where the Victim is Murdered because they froze? The Crime Shows would only put in "Froze" because it happens in reality.

I understand with a lot of News we have seen over many years where "False Rape" charges happen but that is 1:1 rape. The Judge I can see maybe thinking of this, and I do NOT know UK Laws; but many of the USA Laws are from UK. It did appear that this Judge was known to make it more than normal in being difficult for Rape Victims have a Fair Trial. Wish that on this episode that father would have learned this; and then maybe did some type of "Grass Root" to get that judge to retire.

The Video was Excluded; But not sure why the Crown Prosecutors did not jump to bring it back in, when the Male Defense Attorney brought up what the Girl did that he would have know only by watching that video. In other prior Episodes, have seen the Crown Prosecutors use "The Defense Brought up the Video Information, the Video should be included".

Her Friend Danny finally learns to tell the Truth, and cover how he was part of the Rape (via he was Threatened) would make the others guilty. He Manned Up, and took accountability.

Fun Fact - in Israel (I am Yisraeli) the Prosecutors are Called "HaSatan" which in Hebrew means "The Adversary" NOT a Name.

Bad Fact - I watched this on TUBI; and they did "ED" (Blue Pill) Commercials. That a Commercial like that is on a "Rape" episode????
