Hanson: Ms. Blaine, we're
suspending Taylor from school.

There were pictures posted
of your son

which were
outside the code.

There was a party.
It was for the basketball team.

He was really
messed up.

I think
someone did something to me.

A student is claiming
to have been assaulted.

By one of my players?

Don't think your kids
are above mistakes.

We have to make it clear
we take this matter seriously.

Man: 911.
What's your emergency?

I want to report a rape.

That little bitch
said something.

It's nothing.
Well, it's nothing for you.

They're not doing anything
to you.

Do you know what they are saying
about him online?

Rob: Kevin's 18.
They can print his name.

Lilah: We're in debt because of
that school, and for what?

Eric's grades are good.

He's been different ever since
he started going there.

You said that thing in the paper
would help.

They're going online,
they're saying stuff.

I don't want
to go to Leyland anymore.

I want to go
back to Marshall.

The testing's come back
from Taylor Blaine's clothes.

We're officially
looking at this as a rape.

Kevin k.: To the journalist
who asked me

if I was sure
that I was raped --

I mean really sure --

you're right.

I don't remember
what my rapist was wearing.

I don't remember
how much I had to drink.

I don't remember
what time it was,

how long it lasted,
or how he held me.

I do remember
that the word "rape"

never felt like it belonged
to me in the first place...

[ Fingers snapping ]

...or after
the responding officers

rolled their eyes

or after you asked me

if I was sure
that a man could be raped.

[ Fingers snapping ]
I mean really raped.

I'm sure that
I remember it feeling like

every room of my home being
broken into at the same time.

[ Indistinct shouting, applause
] I'm sure that I had to start

speaking in metaphor for you
to start listening.

I'm sure that man and woman
is not all a body can be.

I'm sure it does not matter.

It does not matter.

Remember how I told you
that it felt like

every room of my home being
broken into at the same time.

[ Audience murmuring,
fingers snapping ]

Remember how busy you were

trying to figure out
how they got in

that you forgot all about
the person living there.

[ Fingers snapping ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Light damage to sphincter area,
lacerations around anus...

-You don't need to keep going.
-...Blood and semen on his underpants.

They found someone else's semen
on that boy's clothes.

I warned you something happened,
but you were so certain --

th-that doesn't prove
anything happened.

Nothing?
If that was your daughter...

Don't talk
about my daughter.

...and they found evidence
on her clothes --

don't be defensive.

I'm not accusing you.

I'm asking you to face
the reality of the situation.

Either your whole team
is deceiving you,

or one person is deceiving
that whole team.

If they don't respect you
enough to t--

they respect me.

[ Sighs ]
They lied to you.

This is the truth.

The truth is winning.

The police want DNA samples
from the team.

If they can't get them
willingly,

they'll make arrests
and file charges.

You really want to see
these kids

paraded in front of cameras
in handcuffs?

Who did this?

We need to give
the police a name.

Any name?

Don't get petty.

Well,
don't you get righteous.

We need to take a minute
and figure out

the best opportunity
to give these boys a chance

to explain
what really happened.

They've had it.

Being sentimental,
trying to be their friend --

that's done what?

They need to understand we have
the capacity to manage this.

Y-you -- you and the board --
you're --

you're over here, away from
everybody else, all right?

And you want us
to go take the hill,

and whatever happens
happens.

We're asking you
to do what needs to be done

to take care of everyone.

We can't do that if people
aren't acting in concert.

Do you understand that?

Nobody is trying to hurt
your boys.

We're trying to put them
in a position

where we can use the resources
we have to protect them.

So you need to explain to them
this is it,

or not only
will we not protect them --

we will put them
front and center.

If that's what it takes
to stop the bleeding,

that's what it takes.

Dan: You lied.

You lied to me.

This captains' party --
you all -- you --

you looked me in the eyes,
and you swore nothing happened.

Something happened
at that party.

The police have got semen
on this kid.

They've got blood.

And I told you that you could
come to me, and I would help.

I told you that,
and what do you do?

You turn around --
all of you turn around,

and you make me look stupid.

You make me look stupid,

and you make everybody else
look guilty.

The police are gonna start
making arrests.

They're gonna start
taking samples.

And you think the people who run
this school care about you?

They're gonna cut you loose.

And when they do,
I can't help you.

Lesean: One of y'all better
say something.

I got college next year.

I ain't finna to let none
of y'all mess that up.

Maybe you need to talk.

-I'm sorry. What?
-Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, somebody skeetin'
on that boy.

I know it wasn't me.
-Well, I know it wasn't me.

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Dan:
Hey! Hey! Sit down! Sit down!

Wes, sit your ass down!

You got something to say,
say it.

[ Sighs ]

Warrants are coming.

You think any of you know
how bad this is?

I'm telling you right now.

You think it was ugly before?

[ Echoing ]
This is where some hell begins.

[ Door slams ]

♪♪

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Curt: He just showed up here,
but he's not saying much,

just something about that party
and the police.

They want to talk to him. -Why do
the police want to talk to Eric?

Well, not just him --
the whole team.

Should we let him?

I don't know.

Well, should we -- [ Sighs ]
Wh-wh-what do we do?

I need to ask around,

find out what other families
are doing,

maybe...Get a lawyer.

How are we gonna pay
for a lawyer?

I'll figure something out.

I'll take him home.

Drop him at my place.

I'll take him home.

Would you just...Give him
some space to think?

Just take him to my place.

[ Stammers, sighs ]

Hey.

Come on. Let's go.

Rob:
First thing that the police

are going to try to do
is secure warrants.

They'll collect
the buccal swabs,

and then, most likely,
the prosecutor

will go public
with his investigation.

So, the papers
and these bloggers --

they're gonna just keep writing
things about Kevin?

Michael:
That needs to stop.

We have to
get in front of this.

C-can we get Kevin to do
a polygraph test?

Can we put that out there?

Just give them the sample.

I wouldn't have Kevin offer up
any evidence.

Unfortunately,
that can come back on him.

If I was going to
offer up any advice,

you want to position Kevin
as being able

to corroborate any charges

the police may bring against
anyone else.

You want Kevin to snitch.

I want to keep Kevin
out of jail.

If he needs to make a statement,
he'll make it.

Do it. Set it up.

My son, Taylor -- the --

the reason he's coming back
to Marshall --

why he -- he wants
to come back --

there were, uh, some challenges
at his other school.

Academic challenges?

It just --
it just wasn't a good fit.

He didn't fit in.

There -- there --
there was some bullying

and, uh,
some other challenges.

Other challenges?

[ Sighs ]

You're asking me
to help your son.

I can't do that
if I don't know his situation.

He was assaulted.
It was at a party.

There was, uh, pictures
and some online bullying.

That was your son
in that article?

I just want to know
that he'll be safe here.

I can have Taylor meet with our
school counselor, Mrs. Murray.

She can help him
get situated.

But if he has problems,

he's going to have to be active
in trying to get them resolved.

You see,
he's always been quiet.

He doesn't --
he doesn't like to talk.

Boys his age never do.

Look, I know some people
at Leyland.

I can check out
his situation,

but I've got
over 2,000 students,

35 kids to a classroom.

It's hard for us to help
these kids one-on-one.

Mm.

[ Sighs ]

Okay.

I'll do what I can
for your son,

but he's got to bring
his needs to us.

[ Birds chirping ]

Come on.

Anne:
I sit with the principal.

He tells me he's got 2,000 kids,
can't look out for Taylor.

He'll be okay.

[ Sighs ]

I thought going to that school
would be such a good thing.

I wanted him
to get into a good college.

I just messed up.

You know that's not true.

You know it.

Hey, you want to go up
to Chicago next weekend?

Yeah, we'll get
a nice hotel room --

I mean
like Sheraton nice --

do some room service,
mm, go to a spa.

[ Door opens, closes ]

I can't take off work.

I can't leave Taylor.

Nate could
keep an eye on him.

Nate?

Yeah?

You want to keep an eye
on Taylor?

Sure. Yeah. I'd love to.

I-I can't leave him.

Leaving him brings up
bad memories.

You know, you got to
look out for you, too.

It would be good.

I would love if Taylor spent
more time with Nate.

Yeah. Of course.

It would be good, you know,
for him to have a man around.

[ Sighs ]

You regret not making it
work out with Taylor's dad?

[ Scoffs ]

This was the guy --
I was with him for a month.

He talks me into having sex
with him without a condom.

Two weeks later,
I'm -- I'm late on my period,

peeing on
a pregnancy stick.

All he says to me is,
"you got to get rid of it."

I mean,
he kept saying "it."

I mean, you know
how I feel about that.

Yeah, I know.

Abortion's not how
I was gonna solve things.

All I would have
done different...

Was gotten with somebody
who wanted to be a man.

Whenever Taylor's ready,
sure.

We both miss him.

We'd love to be in his life
a lot more.

[ Chuckles ]

Curt: I really appreciate you
taking time to talk about Eric.

He's a good kid.

He's got
a lot of opportunities.

If he keeps playing
how he's been playing, I mean --

you called and said it was
urgent that we should talk.

Eric showed up
at my work.

He said that the police want
to interview the team, get DNA.

Yeah, we're aware.

I was, uh -- I was thinking
it might be in our best interest

if our families came together
on this.

"Our best interest"?

Well, Eric and Kevin --
they're team captains.

They both
threw the party.

They both
threw the party,

but Kevin's name
is the only one

that's being slandered
right now.

Well, Eric was suspended
from the team.

They've both -- you know
[Sighs] they've both suffered.

This is really important.

Basketball is important
to Eric -- to both of them.

I don't give a damn
about basketball.

Kevin has a 3.6 gpa,

and he's going to nyu
with or without basketball.

Only now, nyu and every other
university can look online

and see how my son,
not yours -- our son --

is involved with
a sexual assault.

What do you think
that does to his future?

Every parent
with a kid on that team --

every other kid on that team
is not our concern.

Can I be honest?

I'm going through a divorce.

[ Cellphone vibrating ]
And money has been very tight.

Hello?

Well, did you e-mail it?

'Cause we --
I haven't seen it.

Well,
you need to send it again

because we need to get it back
before morning,

and this is the third time
you've told me...

I can't get a lawyer.

I don't have the money.

And I don't want Eric to suffer
because I can't --

I can get you the names
of some lawyers,

but we've already consulted
legal counsel.

Kevin will have his side
of the story,

and I think your son
should have his.

[ Silverware clinking ]

I'm gonna make an appointment
for us to go see the police.

You need to tell the detectives
what you know.

I'm not talking to the cops.

Why not?

'Cause.

No. Don't do that.
Why not?

I got nothing
to say to them.

Go in your room.

I don't have a room anymore.
I got to share with --

go somewhere.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ]

They're gonna start
arresting people.

They're gonna start
taking samples.

How come
you won't say anything?

You trying to protect
somebody on the team? -No.

Because nobody's trying
to protect you.

They're looking out
for themselves.

[ Scoffs ]

Those families,
the whole school --

-I don't care about them. -They're
looking to blame somebody.

You think they're your friends?
They're not.

You think they care about you?
They don't.

That's not true, dad.

I talked
to Kevin's parents.

He's already got
his story.

He's got lawyers.

All you have is me.

So tell me
what's going on.

You don't get it.

Then help me
do something for you.

You can't even fix what's
going on with you and mom.

[ Sighs ]

Let's just
get it over with.

We go to the station,
we talk it out,

and everything
will be fine.

Charles:
What do you think?

Leslie:
That's never a good sign.

One of two things --

either the play stinks,
or I'm too stupid to get it.

It's not you.

I don't know.

Me and the arts
have never been...

Can I tell you?

You are gonna love this
performance piece

we are putting on --
it is so beautiful.

You're really going through
with that?

Going through with it?
Why wouldn't we?

Personally, I'd want things
to settle down a little bit.

There's a lot the school
is dealing with.

One has nothing to do
with the other.

One affects the other.

Kids accused
of raping another boy.

I deal with that every day.
Can we just --

that gala seems
a little tone-deaf.

Accused.
No one's been charged.

No one may ever be.

Now you're deflecting.

I'm not deflecting.

I can complete
your sentence.

And it's something about
resigning or quitting

or not finishing
my work.

Charles:
That school is a mess.

You can't fix everything
with a deft response

and an obsessive-compulsive
nature.

And not every private
institution

is filled with entitled...

Who tease and bully a girl
until she has a breakdown.

Hey. Hey.
-Ugh.

What about our arrangement?

Or does that only apply when
you want to be honest with me?

What happened
with your daughter --

that was stupid kids
doing stupid things,

but I talk to her.

I see how strong
she is now.

I watched deana get wrecked.
I stood there.

I stood there oblivious,
like an idiot,

until it was too late
to do anything about it.

[ Sighs ]

So I'm not saying nothing
this time.

It's not the same.

[ Sighs ]

I'm not gonna stand there
and watch --

and watch you get torn up.

I'm sentimental, Leslie.

I shouldn't have to beg you
to marry me.

[ Indistinct conversation ]

Mrs. Murray: Are you excited
to be back at Marshall?

I guess, yeah.

Principal Dixon said you had
some problems over at Leyland?

Yeah.

He said your mother had some
concerns about you...

I don't really want
to talk about this.

My mom -- she --

-okay. Okay. Okay.
-She's dealing with a lot.

You don't have to
talk about it,

but if you ever want to,
just know that there are --

I will. Thank you.

[ Indistinct conversation ]

[ Laughter ]

Is there anything in particular
you want to do this semester?

Just get through it.

What about after that?
Are you thinking about college?

Nothing?

I'm -- I'm just trying
to go day by day right now.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Well,
this is a fresh start.

This is an opportunity
for you to focus on you

and what you want
to accomplish.

So, what do you want
to accomplish?

Tre:
What's up, chica?

[ Locker door opens ]
Nothing.

[ Chuckles ]
What you doing later on?

None of your business.

[ Chuckles ]

Well, I'm trying to see
what vanillas taste like.

Ew. Get off me!

[ Sighs ]
-Hey, hold up!

You good?

Yeah.

Lil thuggie up on you?

He's just talking trash.

About the police
coming to see you?

Mateo, it's cool.

Bitch got a mouth.

Just leave it alone.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

So, there's nothing we can do
to help out Eric?

Like what?

He's my boy, and I -- I know
I threw that party, too.

This isn't about
who threw the party.

Well, I just -- I don't want him
to get in trouble because...

I just don't want him
to get in trouble.

Let me tell you something.

That boy will always get

a benefit of the doubt
that you won't.

It's not like that.

Yeah?

Young black men and the law --
that's all been worked out?

It's not the same.

No, it's not the same

because we're not gonna
leave you for the police.

You get to go in there
with a lawyer

your father and I
paid for.

You're the one
who's always saying,

"be a man.
Do the right thing."

[ Sighs ]

Do you know for certain

that no one on that team
touched that boy?

Then doing the right thing
is taking care of yourself

because those other boys --

they're not gonna do
anything for you.

Kevin:
"At about 9:00 P.M...

Fred.

...an event known as the
captains' party took place

at the grove, on 1629 Delancy.

During the party,

somewhere between 10:00 P.M.
and 1:00 A.M.,

an incident which the police are
now investigating took place.

While I have every intention
of fully cooperating

with the police in this matter,

I personally was not a witness
to the alleged assault.

At that time
of the alleged assault,

I was with a friend --
Valerie --

and we had self-segregated
from the main body of the party.

Valerie can account
of my whereabouts.

By the time we returned
to the party, the accuser,

who I have previously witnessed
consuming alcohol,

was passed out on the floor."

[ Sighs ]

"Members of the basketball team
were surrounding the accuser,

taking pictures.

Those pictures were later posted
on social networks.

And I did not participate
in the activity,

and I tried the best I could

to get them to cease
their activities."

[ Sighs ]

"The accuser was helped
from the space,

and I have no knowledge
of any other events."

Anything you'd like to add?

[ Exhales sharply ]
No. That's it.

[ Recorder beeps ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Back up, bitch!

Shut it!

Bitch-ass nigger!

[ Students gasp, murmur ]

You just don't know
when to shut it, do you?

Come here.

That one down there is bleeding.
Take him to the nurse.

Come with me.

Huh? You want to keep
running your mouth?!

-Bitch is popping off.
-About what?

About everything.
Boy's just got a big mouth.

Then I seen him rollin' up
on Evy.

Evy dominguez?

He's been on her since the cops
snatched her up out of class.

He wants to talk some stuff,
I'm like, "cool, let's talk."

You don't problem-solve
by beating on some kid.

They're always saying smack.

Talking in accents, calling us
spics, this and that.

That's not what I saw.

I saw you and two other boys
beating on one kid.

Now, you have a problem
with a student,

you have to take it
to a teacher, bring it to me --

yeah. Right.

Mateo, you do things
how you do things,

I can't do anything
for you,

so now you have
a three-day suspension.

[ Paper tears ]

You have three days.

Cool off.
Think about things.

We're done.

[ Door opens, closes ]

Evy:
Mateo is a dumbass.

He sees tre clowning me,

and then him
and his boys jump him.

Stupid.

For real?

Yeah, for real.

Guys be tusslin' over me.

Your mom working tonight?

Yeah.

I'm-a come by, okay?

Yeah, I guess.

O...Kay?

[ Chuckles ]

Yeah. Yeah, okay.

You need to act happy
or something.

You glad
you're back here?

I'm glad you're back.

[ Hip-hop music playing ]

Hey.

What?

What are you listening to?

Music.

Duh.

Then don't act all stupid.

There was a fight
at school today.

This black dude got stomped over
some Mexican chick.

It was cray.

Are you even
listening to me?

Leave me alone.

Fine.

[ Sighs ]

Pschew!
[ Chuckles ]

Dude.

Give me the phone.

Aw.

Give me the phone.

No.

Give me the phone.

Get off of me.

Ohh.

-Give me the phone.
-No!

[ Grunts ]

-Give me --
-stop!

Give me the phone!

Give it to me!
Give it to me right now!

Stop!

[ Choking ]

[ Crying ] Stop!

Stop.

[ Gasping, coughing ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Coughs ]

Why you been acting like
such a little bitch?

Everything!

Everything what?

Everything sucks!

Mom and dad suck.
School sucks.

Two years,
you're gonna be gone.

I'm gonna be stuck with them
and all their nonsense.

You got basketball.
-You're so stupid.

They send you
to the good school

so you can go
to a good college,

leave my ass
over at Marshall.

Got the blacks
and the Mexicans

trying to kill each other
all day.

[ Breathing heavily ]

I got nothing here.

Let me tell you --
soon as I'm 16, I'm out.

I'm-a get a car --
don't care what kind.

I am out.

And go where?

I don't know.

Anyplace
is better than here.

[ Breathing heavily ]

Probably Miami.

It's got the best weather,
palms trees, beaches, clubs.

Everybody hanging out
all the time, drinking.

Ah, and the girls
are fine as hell.

All 'em, like,
j.Lo-looking bitches

and all talkin'
like Rihanna.

You and me go down there,

we'd be hittin' that
all the time.

[ Breathing heavily ]

You should go...
Soon as you're 16.

Man, we should both go.

I can't.

Curt: I didn't understand
what all they did.

Uh, I guess they said
they had to give him

some charcoal
to pump out the drugs.

How -- how -- how is he?

Uh, he's okay.

He's, uh, stable.

If his brother hadn't been
there, then --

yeah. What happened?

Uh...
I had some ativan.

My divorce has been
really rough.

Hey, listen,
that's all right.

You don't have to --
we all got stuff.

I've been working longer hours
to make extra for the boys,

and, you know,
it's just, uh...

[ Sniffles ]
[ Sighs ]

Eric is scared.

Yeah.

And there's nothing
I can do for him.

[ Sighs ]

Dan, did he do something
he's not telling me?

Dan: Hey.

Oh, no, no, no.

Stay. It's all right.
Relax.

I'm okay.

Yeah.
[ Clears throat ]

You good?

Yeah.

Yeah?
How you feeling?

Look, uh...

You know, I know that things
are really, um --

really scary right now.

They're scary
for all of us.

And, uh, you know,
whatever it is,

y-y-you know, you could have
talked to your dad.

You could have come to me.

Yeah, well,
you know you can talk to me.

You suspended me, coach.
You did that for nothing.

Now you want to act like we're
supposed to be best friends?

That last game,
when I hit that buzzer beater...

It felt so good,
everybody going crazy for me.

For one moment,
everyone going crazy.

I messed up.

You messed up how?

All I got is basketball.

You know, that's paying
for school, for college.

Was that semen
that they found yours?

I can't lose this.

Did you assault that boy?

He wanted it.

Oh, geez.
God, you sound like a rapist.

I didn't rape him.

He wanted it.
He wanted to hook up.

Me and Taylor --
he planned it. He...

We were supposed to meet up
that night.

He was texting me,
e-mailing.

Everything's on my phone.

I-I wanted to give them
to the police.

Well, why didn't you?

You put everybody
through this?

I mean, why --
why didn't you say something?

Then everyone would know
I'm gay.

Then what?

Then I'm done
at basketball,

I'm done at school,
I'm screwed,

so...

Some booze,
some pills...

...I'm not your problem
anymore.

Hey.

Dan.
Hey, is -- is he okay?

Did he --
did he say anything?

You got to talk
to your boy.

[ Cars passing ]

-Becca.
-Hey.

I know that your mom and I
can be hard on you.

-Yeah.
-Yeah, but, you know, that --

that's only
because we love you.

You know that, right?

Okay.

I mean, sometimes
we don't say it enough.

Sometimes
we don't tell you --

is this gonna be
one of those times

where you tell me something
I did when I was 5?

If you ever got a problem,
anything --

are people saying stuff
about me at school?

No,
th-this isn't about school.

Just, if you have anything,
you can come to me, okay?

Okay.

You know that, right?

Yeah. Okay.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Laughing ]
Okay, dad.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door opens ]

Krasno: We know who it was
who had sex with your son.

He admitted to it.

He confessed?
Wh-who was it?

Eric Tanner.

Th-that's the one
that dropped Evy and Taylor off

at the side of the road.

[ Stammers ]
Did you arrest him?

Are you aware that Taylor
and this boy, Eric,

knew each other before your son
claimed he was assaulted?

They went
to the same school.

Can you take a look
at these?

What are they?

Those are texts and e-mails
your son and Eric exchanged

before the party.

Um...These --
these aren't real.

We've spoken
to Eric's parents.

They've given us permission
to access

their cellular and Internet
service providers.

Okay. So?

With that information,

we'll be able to determine the
authenticity of these exchanges.

I would really encourage you

to have a conversation
with your son.

If he's got something to say,
now's the time to say it.

Feral mom cat figures out
how to adopt kittens?

You have a lot
of adopted kittens.

There's a lot of adoption.

You pick.
-Okay.

Oh, wow.

It lost its power.

[ Laughing ]
Let's not.

Let's -- let's --
let's give up on this.

[ Door opens ]

Mnh.

-Hey, mom.
-Hey, Ms. Blaine.

Where's your phone?

-What?
-Go home. Go home.

-She just got here.
-Where's your phone?

What? What?
Hey.

What's your password?
What's your password?

-Why?
-Go home, Evy.

-But sh-she just got here.
-Go home!

-What -- what are you doing?
-What's your password?

What's your password?
-What's going on?

What are you doing?
Why are you acting like this?

Did you go there
to have sex with him?

Do you know about this?
[ Stammers ]

Have you been covering for him,
walking around,

acting like a couple,
making me look like an idiot?

I-I was defending you,
and --

and you went there
to have sex with him.

No.

Mom.

Mom?

Mom.

[ Breathing heavily ]

"R u gentle?"

"Only d-done it once,
was gentle."

"Top or bottom?
You decide."

"When I whack off,

p-pillow over my head
makes it better, hint, hint."

Did you go there to have sex
with him?

I didn't -- I didn't go there
to get attacked.

I...

No, no, Evy, um...

Evy. Evy.

Evy!

[ Crying ]

[ Groans ]

I don't...
I don't get it.

What did you do?

I went to the school.

-What did you do?
-I went to the police.

Why are you doing this?

I-I-I kept telling you
to leave it alone!

Why are you doing this?!

[ Stammers ]

Why didn't...
You tell me the truth?

What, did you think
that I wouldn't --

did you think
that I would feel different?

Did you think
that I wouldn't love you

because of the way
you felt?

Do you think that --

do you really think
that I can't love you?

You left me.

You...

Well...

I was, um...

I wasn't good.
I needed help.

I...I know.

I left you
with Nate and Patty

because I didn't want
to lose you.

I know. I know.

I know
how hard it was for you.

I didn't want
to do that again.

The e-mails
and the text messages help.

They obviously indicate
that the intent

was for a consensual act.

But, if at any time the victim
withdrew consent, it is rape.

They prove that how?

There was a party
full of people.

If anybody heard anything --

Burrows:
Nobody said they did.

No, no one has said
that under oath.

Then why do we even care?

Our school is getting trashed
in every news outlet,

every landing page
in Indiana.

Nicholson: It was a couple of gay
boys off at a basketball party.

Those e-mails --
that's just deviant.

This is more
than just an embarrassment.

This party was not sanctioned
by the school,

but it was advertised
at the school.

There was also apparently
a tradition

called "making the team."

Girls were expected to have sex
with the players.

Over the years, this party has
become somewhat of an orgy,

and if the school was aware that
this was an unsafe environment

and did nothing about it,
that is a problem.

Right now, "he said/he said,"
for lack of a better phrase --

that's the situation.

Without supporting statements

that it was anything
other than a consensual act,

the case can't move forward.

We have to make certain
no supporting statements exist.

Do we want to reach out
to these families?

Send an e-mail
about our perspective --

no. We don't want
to e-mail people.

We don't want to e-mail them.

As your legal counsel, I don't
think you want to do anything.

You -- you start directing
traffic,

you open yourselves up
to collusion.

And so we should just hope
that people believe

the for-profit,
private institution

didn't conspire against
the young man on financial aid

who was constantly bullied

even before people found out
he was apparently gay?

It's just --
it's naive to think this school

is going to get
an objective hearing.

This is the tipping point.

We can hope things fall
the school's way,

or we can make certain they do.

We have 520 children
at this school -- 520.

They deserve better
than the lies, the innuendo.

We have a young man
in the hospital

who tried to take his own life

because this other young man
refused to admit

what he was involved in.

If you read these e-mails,

they are a blueprint
for a rough encounter.

That's the truth.

That's the truth
people need to believe.
