Chelsea: 我童年时期遭受了父母人口贩卖和性虐待,这给我带来了深重的创伤。与James交往期间,我发现他控制欲极强,并试图掌控我的生活和社交。更令人震惊的是,我发现他的手机里藏有大量女性的裸照,其中包括我朋友的妻子,以及一张疑似儿童性虐待材料的照片。这些发现让我感到极度震惊和恐惧,我最终向警方报案。然而,由于证据不足,James并未受到法律制裁。在此过程中,我寻求了心理治疗师Eric的帮助,却发现Eric本人也是一名性侵犯,他被捕并被判处12年监禁。这段经历让我身心俱疲,但我最终战胜了创伤,重建了自己的生活。 James: 我否认所有指控,并认为Chelsea的行为是蓄意报复和诽谤。我承认我曾保留了Chelsea的私密照片,但我认为这并非犯罪行为。至于手机中其他照片的来源和内容,我拒绝回应。 Andrea Gunning: 本节目讲述了Chelsea的故事,她经历了童年性虐待和恋人背叛的双重打击。她的故事揭示了信任被背叛的痛苦,以及在面对性虐待和法律困境时,受害者所面临的挑战。 Eric: (由于Eric是犯罪者,此处省略其观点,仅保留其行为描述) Eric作为Chelsea的心理治疗师,利用了她的信任,最终被发现持有大量儿童性虐待材料,并被判处12年监禁。
