Activism benefits democracy.
53
00:02:00,859 --> 00:02:03,340
We contend that fear of
hacking causes the government
54
00:02:03,340 --> 00:02:05,908

in the first place.
56
00:02:07,692 --> 00:02:11,435
Furthermore, can governments
actually become more secretive
57
00:02:11,435 --> 00:02:13,350

58
00:02:13,350 --> 00:02:17,615

CIA and NSA director said,

It carried a top secret
classification marking."
61
00:02:25,797 --> 00:02:28,191
We contend that secrecy
in the government
62
00:02:28,191 --> 00:02:32,152
doesn't lead to security,
only more secrecy.

356
00:16:53,882 --> 00:16:56,363
I'm sorry, Naomi.
357
00:16:56,363 --> 00:16:59,714
Are you gonna--are you gonna
tell my mom I lied?
358
00:16:59,714 --> 00:17:02,021
No.
359
00:17:02,021 --> 00:17:05,981
But you are when you're ready.
360
00:17:08,288 --> 00:17:12,683
She just thinks
I'm always perfect.
361
00:17:12,683 --> 00:17:16,209
So the good girl...

who can never lie,
who can never say no.
363
00:17:21,475 --> 00:17:25,609
Naomi, is that what happened
with you and the Youngs?
364
00:17:25,609 --> 00:17:27,089
It's complicated.
365
00:17:27,089 --> 00:17:30,788
Oh, it always is.
366
00:17:30,788 --> 00:17:33,574
So how about you tell me how...
367
00:17:33,574 --> 00:17:37,621
all of this started.
368
00:17:37,621 --> 00:17:39,754
I hated riding on the bus.
369
00:17:39,754 --> 00:17:41,364
The guys were so loud.
370
00:17:41,364 --> 00:17:43,584
They would pull my things
out of my backpack
371
00:17:43,584 --> 00:17:46,195
and throw it around,
they would laugh at my tampons.
372
00:17:46,195 --> 00:17:50,069
Teenage boys can be cruel.

00:17:50,069 --> 00:17:52,201
And when Helene
and Parker said that
374
00:17:52,201 --> 00:17:56,249
I could ride with them,
375
00:17:56,249 --> 00:17:59,904
that made me feel seen.

00:17:59,904 --> 00:18:02,385
I get that.
377
00:18:03,952 --> 00:18:06,346
But how--
378
00:18:06,346 --> 00:18:10,132
how did it turn sexual?
379
00:18:10,132 --> 00:18:11,786
We had dinners together.
380
00:18:11,786 --> 00:18:14,354

They treated me

No one has ever done that
to me before.
384
00:18:25,278 --> 00:18:27,889
At first, it was--
it was just kissing.
385
00:18:27,889 --> 00:18:31,197
Mostly me and Helene.
386
00:18:31,197 --> 00:18:34,678
Parker watched.
387
00:18:34,678 --> 00:18:37,768
It made them both happy,
so that made me happy.
388
00:18:37,768 --> 00:18:40,249
And I was performing at
the debates better than ever.
389
00:18:43,296 --> 00:18:47,648
So, Naomi, what happened?
What happened last night?
390
00:18:49,954 --> 00:18:55,525
I went to their room after
hanging out with the boys.
391
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,182
Helene and Parker and I
usually would celebrate
392
00:19:00,182 --> 00:19:02,750
after a debate win.
393
00:19:05,361 --> 00:19:09,278
Helene could tell that
I had been drinking.
394
00:19:09,278 --> 00:19:10,975
I thought she'd be mad
at first.
395
00:19:10,975 --> 00:19:12,499
But she wasn't?
396
00:19:12,499 --> 00:19:14,631
She was happy that
we won the first round.
397
00:19:14,631 --> 00:19:17,199
She said that she wanted
to give Parker
398
00:19:17,199 --> 00:19:19,201
what he'd been waiting for.

We made out with Parker
watching, like normal.
402
00:19:33,041 --> 00:19:37,263
Except this time,
403
00:19:37,263 --> 00:19:39,003
he came up behind me
404
00:19:39,003 --> 00:19:40,309
and he started
touching my breasts.
405
00:19:40,309 --> 00:19:41,615
And then Helene
pulled me down
406
00:19:41,615 --> 00:19:43,486
and he started unzipping
his pants.
407
00:19:43,486 --> 00:19:47,316
Did you consent, Naomi,
to any of that?
408
00:19:47,316 --> 00:19:51,059
I tried to explain to them
it wasn't a good idea.
409
00:19:51,059 --> 00:19:52,974
I tried to talk my way
out of it.
410
00:19:52,974 --> 00:19:55,672
- But it didn't work?
- No!
411
00:19:55,672 --> 00:19:57,587
So then what happened?
412
00:19:57,587 --> 00:19:59,546
And then he--
413
00:19:59,546 --> 00:20:02,723
he raped me.
414
00:20:02,723 --> 00:20:07,206
Helene held me down,
and he raped me.
415
00:20:09,295 --> 00:20:13,647
That had never
happened to me before.
416
00:20:13,647 --> 00:20:16,040
I was freaked out.
417
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,042
Is that why
you set the bus on fire?
418
00:20:18,042 --> 00:20:21,045
If I had just
kept my mouth shut

That's an understatement.

I realize there's no excuse

You and your wife were
using her for threesomes.

Everything that we did together

Not according to Naomi.

What she described to us
about that night
441
00:21:24,848 --> 00:21:26,415
sounds like sexual assault.

Her mother just found out
about our relationship.

that she was having sex
with us willingly.

You had sex with a student.

You were holding her down.

You've seen how
she hurts herself.

Oh, that she's
not a masochist?

I can make that argument.
That's what I'm good at.

00:24:51,098 --> 00:24:53,622
is unequivocally false.
532
00:24:53,622 --> 00:24:55,450
Is this one of your
character witnesses?
533
00:24:55,450 --> 00:24:57,104
First I'm hearing
any of this.
534
00:24:57,104 --> 00:24:59,106
My name is Colin Sharpe,
and I had
535
00:24:59,106 --> 00:25:01,282
a sexual relationship
with Helene and Parker
536
00:25:01,282 --> 00:25:02,892
when they were my coaches.
537
00:25:02,892 --> 00:25:04,851
It was always consensual.
538
00:25:04,851 --> 00:25:07,157
It was the best relationship
of my life.
539
00:25:07,157 --> 00:25:09,725
- Why you coming forward now?
- Wow.
540
00:25:09,725 --> 00:25:13,512
I see your star debater
and raise you a star witness.
541
00:25:13,512 --> 00:25:15,688
No deal.
542
00:25:15,688 --> 00:25:18,255
I'll see you in court, counselor.
543
00:25:27,961 --> 00:25:30,180
We won the first round
of the debate.
544
00:25:30,180 --> 00:25:32,139
I had a few drinks with
the boys next door.
545
00:25:32,139 --> 00:25:33,488
I left early.
546
00:25:33,488 --> 00:25:34,924
That's when I went to
Parker and Helene's room.
547
00:25:34,924 --> 00:25:36,752
And what happened
in their room, Naomi?
548
00:25:36,752 --> 00:25:39,494
Helene started kissing me,
549
00:25:39,494 --> 00:25:41,975
pulled me down on the bed
with her.
550
00:25:41,975 --> 00:25:43,498
Parker joined us.
551
00:25:43,498 --> 00:25:45,239
But this wasn't
the first time
552
00:25:45,239 --> 00:25:48,024
that you had engaged in sexual
behavior with them, was it?
553
00:25:48,024 --> 00:25:49,635
No.
554
00:25:49,635 --> 00:25:52,551
But usually Parker
just watched.
555
00:25:52,551 --> 00:25:54,988
That night, things escalated.
556
00:25:54,988 --> 00:25:56,598
He took off his pants.
557
00:25:56,598 --> 00:25:58,557
I said no.
I wasn't ready.
558
00:25:58,557 --> 00:25:59,688
But he didn't stop.
559
00:25:59,688 --> 00:26:01,472
That's when he penetrated me.
560
00:26:01,472 --> 00:26:04,432
And where was Helene?
561
00:26:04,432 --> 00:26:07,348
Parker raped me,
but Helene held me down.
562
00:26:07,348 --> 00:26:08,915
I looked into it.
563
00:26:08,915 --> 00:26:10,612
When it comes to
criminal culpability,
564
00:26:10,612 --> 00:26:12,309
New York State law
doesn't distinguish
565
00:26:12,309 --> 00:26:14,834
between the primary offender
and the accomplice.
566
00:26:14,834 --> 00:26:16,183
Objection.
567
00:26:16,183 --> 00:26:18,533
Your Honor, the witness
isn't a legal expert.
568
00:26:18,533 --> 00:26:20,404
Sustained.
569
00:26:20,404 --> 00:26:22,537
Ms. Hayes, did you consent
570
00:26:22,537 --> 00:26:24,365
to sex with the Youngs
that night?
571
00:26:24,365 --> 00:26:26,193
No, I did not.
572
00:26:26,193 --> 00:26:27,890
Thank you.
Nothing further.
573
00:26:34,897 --> 00:26:39,728
You had a busy night,
didn't you, Ms. Hayes?
574
00:26:39,728 --> 00:26:43,558
A party with boys, then
a trip to my clients' room.
575
00:26:43,558 --> 00:26:45,604
How many more drinks
did you have with them?
576
00:26:45,604 --> 00:26:47,997
I don't see how that is
legally relevant
577
00:26:47,997 --> 00:26:49,172
to the issue of consent?
578
00:26:49,172 --> 00:26:52,436
Just answer the question,
Ms. Hayes.
579
00:26:52,436 --> 00:26:54,308
Yes, I had more drinks
with them.
580
00:26:54,308 --> 00:26:55,483
And then they raped me.
581
00:26:55,483 --> 00:26:57,354
According to your story now.
582
00:26:57,354 --> 00:26:58,965
Objection.
Is there a question here?
583
00:26:58,965 --> 00:27:01,402
Sustained.
584
00:27:01,402 --> 00:27:05,928
After you were arrested
for arson,
585
00:27:05,928 --> 00:27:09,845
didn't you tell SVU
the boys next door raped you?
586
00:27:09,845 --> 00:27:12,065
I was conflicted.
I liked the Youngs.
587
00:27:12,065 --> 00:27:14,589
So you lied to the police
to protect your rapist?
588
00:27:14,589 --> 00:27:16,286
I confabulated.
589
00:27:16,286 --> 00:27:18,332
Oh, that's just a $10 word
for saying you lied.
590
00:27:18,332 --> 00:27:19,942
Withdrawn.
591
00:27:19,942 --> 00:27:24,773
Ms. Hayes, is it true you only
accused the Youngs of assault
592
00:27:24,773 --> 00:27:29,996
after a video of you
having sex with them surfaced?
593
00:27:29,996 --> 00:27:32,607
More to the point,
you changed your story
594
00:27:32,607 --> 00:27:34,740
after your mother
found out you were
595
00:27:34,740 --> 00:27:36,611
having sex with your
debate coaches.
596
00:27:36,611 --> 00:27:37,960
It wasn't sex.
It was rape.
597
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,136
Well, you can debate
that point within yourself
598
00:27:40,136 --> 00:27:43,662
all you like,
my point is you lied.
599
00:27:43,662 --> 00:27:46,490
Excuse me, confabulated.
600
00:27:46,490 --> 00:27:50,016
So how can the jury
trust you now?
601
00:27:50,016 --> 00:27:52,105
Because now
I'm telling the truth.
602
00:27:52,105 --> 00:27:54,934
I see, so I guess
603
00:27:54,934 --> 00:27:57,980
we're all just supposed
to take your word for it?
604
00:27:57,980 --> 00:28:00,243
Withdrawn.
605
00:28:00,243 --> 00:28:02,985
Nothing further.
606
00:28:08,338 --> 00:28:09,775
The jury didn't believe me.
607
00:28:09,775 --> 00:28:11,167
Look, juries are
hard to read, Naomi.
608
00:28:11,167 --> 00:28:12,778
I was trying too hard
to sound smart.
609
00:28:12,778 --> 00:28:14,736
Mr. Carisi
is doing everything
610
00:28:14,736 --> 00:28:17,130
he can to protect you.
611
00:28:23,397 --> 00:28:25,747
Why is Colin Sharpe here?
612
00:28:25,747 --> 00:28:28,228
He's a character witness
for the Youngs.
613
00:28:28,228 --> 00:28:30,273
But you know him, Naomi?
614
00:28:30,273 --> 00:28:32,798
Yeah, he was star of the
debate team a few years ago.
615
00:28:32,798 --> 00:28:34,234
Accepted to Harvard.
616
00:28:34,234 --> 00:28:35,757
Middle of freshman year,
he dropped out.
617
00:28:35,757 --> 00:28:37,541
Who drops out of Harvard?
618
00:28:37,541 --> 00:28:40,283
Don't ask me.
I set a bus on fire.
619
00:28:40,283 --> 00:28:44,984
Why don't you get her
some fresh air?
620
00:28:44,984 --> 00:28:47,638
What--what do we know
about this Colin Sharpe?
621
00:28:47,638 --> 00:28:49,118
Well, He dropped out
to work for his brother's
622
00:28:49,118 --> 00:28:50,424

agg assaults all pled down.

free fall from grace.
625

OK, and when is he needed
on the stand?

Muncy, loop in Fin
and Velasco, talk to Harvard.
628
00:29:02,566 --> 00:29:05,613
There's got to be more
to this story.
629
00:29:08,703 --> 00:29:11,575
This is a difficult question,
Mrs. Young.
630
00:29:11,575 --> 00:29:14,709
Can you explain
the intimate component
631
00:29:14,709 --> 00:29:16,319
of your relationship?
632
00:29:16,319 --> 00:29:20,802
In retrospect, I am aware
of how ethically wrong it was,
633
00:29:20,802 --> 00:29:23,370
but you have to understand.
634
00:29:23,370 --> 00:29:27,548
A young woman that intelligent,
it felt like we were peers.
635
00:29:27,548 --> 00:29:28,854
We--we got close.
636
00:29:28,854 --> 00:29:32,466
We spent a lot of time together.
637
00:29:32,466 --> 00:29:34,685
And Parker and I
paid the price.
638
00:29:34,685 --> 00:29:37,123
We've been terminated
from our jobs.
639
00:29:37,123 --> 00:29:40,213
But what the three of us
had together
640
00:29:40,213 --> 00:29:42,824
was a loving,
consensual relationship.
641
00:29:42,824 --> 00:29:44,870
But Naomi reported
she was raped.
642
00:29:44,870 --> 00:29:48,830
She was obviously angry, suffering.
643
00:29:48,830 --> 00:29:51,833
She was arrested for arson,
grilled by police
644
00:29:51,833 --> 00:29:53,835
who pressed her to explain
why she set the fire.
645
00:29:53,835 --> 00:29:57,099
I guess we were
just her excuse.
646
00:30:02,452 --> 00:30:05,586
Mrs. Young, you went
to the police precinct
647
00:30:05,586 --> 00:30:07,153
after Naomi's arrest, correct?
648
00:30:07,153 --> 00:30:08,241
Yes.
649
00:30:08,241 --> 00:30:09,459
And you were told
by detectives
650
00:30:09,459 --> 00:30:11,287
that she had claimed assault.
651
00:30:11,287 --> 00:30:13,420
They said she blamed
one of the boys.
652
00:30:13,420 --> 00:30:16,423
When they asked you when the
last time you saw Naomi was,
653
00:30:16,423 --> 00:30:18,991
what did you say?
654
00:30:18,991 --> 00:30:20,819
To refresh your memory,
655
00:30:20,819 --> 00:30:23,212
based off the police notes,
your response was,
656
00:30:23,212 --> 00:30:24,605
"She was in the hallway."
657
00:30:24,605 --> 00:30:25,780
Well, if the
police wrote it down,
658
00:30:25,780 --> 00:30:27,826
I'm sure that's what I said.
659
00:30:29,479 --> 00:30:32,134
So I tracked down Colin
Sharpe's old RA at Harvard.
660
00:30:32,134 --> 00:30:33,701
And?
661
00:30:33,701 --> 00:30:35,746
On record, he was officially
put on academic probation.
662
00:30:35,746 --> 00:30:37,270
Didn't go to class,
didn't get the grades.
663
00:30:37,270 --> 00:30:38,880
Yeah, but the RA said
there was more to that.
664
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,100
He was also drinking heavily,
doing drugs.
665
00:30:41,100 --> 00:30:45,060
So he didn't set a bus fire.
He set his life on fire.
