Nicole story starts when she was 9 years old. Her father was showing her child pornography. Her father told her “it was normal for fathers and daughters to “play games.” What the father meant by “playing games were in the pictures. Nicole was very innocent she believed everything her father told her. Her father was forcing her to perform oral sex and he was raping her. Her own father even dressed her in tight clothes and even a strong covering her with ropes. When Nicole turned 12 years old she stood up for herself and told her father to stop. However the father used threats and frightens her which he kept abusing her for a year. What he told her is that if she would tell anyone that everyone will hate her for it and especially her own mother. …show more content…
But she took a good look and she was scared because now she sees what her father really did to her. Nicole’s father raped, took naked pictures of her, frightens her, threatens her, made her perform oral sex, and made her watch child pornography at 9. When the detective came to the house, and he showed that to Nicole’s mother she was crying. She felt the pain because it was her child too. On the websites there were many comments about Nicole. There was one commenters that said ‘legendary’, ‘an eager participant’ the commenter said that because Nicole’s father will always tell her to smile and to talk in the videos. Nicole was one of the most searched and videos of Nicole had been downloaded more. There was a third comment that said “There are hours of video out there. It’s just too bad there are not more willing like her.” This story really made me feel very bad for her because of what her father did. It started to get worst because once a picture is out there in the internet it’s out there everywhere. Nicole knows in the back of her mind that many men have seen took pleasure from the abuse. As Nicole had a different image of herself and she thinks that many people will always think of her like a “legend” or porn
The documentary commenced with Griffin and Kovner exploring the life of Nancy Lanza who had been portrayed by the media as the person to blame for her son’s actions but also to be questioned on whether or not she truly was a victim. The reporters tried
A horrific murder happened in tiny Skidmore on December of 2004. Lisa Montgomery and Bobbi Jo Stinnett met and found out that they had much in common and became good friends (Nunes 85-86). Surprisingly, Bobbi and Lisa met in an internet chat room. Bobbi was into puppy breeding and she occasionally served as a judge. Lisa lived in Kansas where her close friends were shocked about what she was talking about. Of course, Lisa shrugged it off and she sent an email to Bobbi saying that she wanted to see the puppies (Nunes 85-86). When Lisa met Bobbi Jo she had a fake name which was Darlene Fisher because she didn’t want Bobbi to know her real identity. When Lisa sent Bobbi the email she had a criminal intent on her mind. She was planning to choke Bobbi into unconsciousness and then cut open her womb and steal Bobbi’s unborn baby. When Lisa arrived at the house she threw a rope around Bobbi’s neck and choked her until she was unconscious. That is when Lisa took a knife and started to cut open Bobbi’s stomach. Lisa had to cut through skin, fat, and muscle to get to Bobbi’s uterus. Bobbi’s baby was in eight-month gestation; Lisa cut and tied the baby’s cord. Lisa stole the baby and fled to her house in Kansas. Unfort...
Before Kari and her husband knew who took their child the police showed up at their place as said before. He was just angry at what he was just told about his wife. So he raped her. While raping her, he said “this is what you like right. You like when men just take it from you. Go inside of you raw and dry. This s*** feels good to you Kari? That’s not even your name you lied to me. You disgust me.

On July 15th, 2008, Caylee Anthony was reported missing by her grandmother Cindy Anthony. Cindy Anthony in the report stated that she hadn’t seen her grand-daughter Caylee for a month and that she and her husband were suspicious because their daughter Casey’s car reeked of decay, as if a dead body had been stored inside the vehicle for days. Caylee and her mother resided with Casey Anthony’s parents. However, Cindy Anthony claimed that Casey had given different explanations about Caylee's whereabouts before telling Cindy that she hadn’t seen her own daughter for several weeks. When questioned by authorities, Casey told the detectives several lies: stating the child had been kidnapped by her nanny on June 9, and that Casey had been trying to contact the nanny to find her daughter. Preceding this information, Casey Anthony was convicted and charged with first degree murder in 2008, but pleaded not guilty ...
Vanessa George is a convicted female sex offender ‘’a person who commits a crime involving a sexual act’’. A wife for more than 20 years, a devoted mother to her two daughters, and a loving nursery nurse to all staff and children was convicted in 2009 of sexually assaulting and taking indecent images of the toddlers in her care at the Plymouth nursery little teds where she worked as a nursery nurse. Once seen as a lovely bubbly character and now as an evil monster. It all started from her obsession with the internet, where she discovered her co offender who she used to share and swap indecent images with. Vanessa George’s job and previous reputation helped to conceal her sexual offences for so long. But why would a loving passive female turn into such an evil monster?
To begin with, I believe that Nicole has a mental health problem that stems from a couple of things: genetics, the way she was raised (nurture), and the abuse of alcohol. Genetics is a source of illness because of her mother, who committed suicide. The manner in which she was raised is also a factor because she has no limits and can do anything, and her father and stepmother seem like they try to disrespect to her throughout the movie. Lastly, the abuse of alcohol is a problem because instead of attacking her problems straight on, she is diverted by alcohol.
In class we have talked about the aftermath of reporting sexual assault. In many cases this is not an easy experience for the victims. In fact, many people are discouraged from reporting because the length of the process and because the likelihood of justice is so low. We have discussed this as it relates to college campus rapes as well as many other kinds of violence. In both cases discussed in the film, the girls were harassed and bullied online and in person. They were called liars and attention seekers. They were both called sluts and whores, while the boys received little to no negative attention. The bullying got so out of hand that Audrie took her own life. According to the film, Daisy attempted suicide multiple times as well. There was so much victim-blaming present in this film. We talked a lot about this in class, but I have never seen it first hand. While I knew that it happened a lot, I found it hard to believe that it would happen in cases like these. I wanted to believe that we as a society would support the girls going through such a horrific experience, but I was clearly wrong. In addition, both of the girls started to believe the nasty things that were being said about them online. They were constantly hearing these negative comments and eventually they started to accept them a true statements. This something we have discussed in class and read in the book throughout this
Aristotle and Arthur Miller viewed tragic downfalls in two different ways. For example, Aristotle believed that a tragedy should focus on a person of good morals, and that this
Nicole Johnson*, a 22-year-old senior at an area university looks back at her college experience as graduation approaches, generally happy with how everything turned out, however, a dark cloud still looms over her freshman year when she was raped.
The story unfolds by the investigators interrogating her and her boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, because they were trying to connect pieces of information together on who was guilty. Concluding, the court decides that her and her boyfriend are found innocent due to many flaws found in the investigation, such as there being small amounts of evidence of their crime. There were many shifts found in this film, such as changing from one fault to another and causing several innocent individuals to be convicted of a crime they did not execute. This documentary was well structured in such a way that their audience was able to grasp the story of what really happened by the order of events in which they occurred. This story was distorted world-wide because the media had made it a global issue, which brought in much more complications since it was not within their own country anymore. The audience was startled by how someone can be so cruel in doing such a
It was this little girl’s brutal death that prompted her parents, Richard and Maureen Kanka, to fight for broad based community notification. Megan’s parents believe that if they had known that a pedophile lived nearby, this heinous crime...
...lly raped at the age of nine. Afterwards, there were constant episodes of sexual molestation and physical abuse from relatives from when she was 10 to 14.
The way Victoria hurts and the indifference of her captors and spectators is brutally tough to watch. We see the cycle repeat and Victoria suffer with her tormented screams as her memory is wiped each time. We can’t help but sympathize, but at the same time, we’re being asked to sympathize with someone whose crime was unforgivable. It adds to the problem with the public being way too invested in other people 's struggles. This can be tied to the Casey Anthony case that happened in 2008. Casey Anthony was the mother of a two year old girl, Caylee Anthony, who mysteriously disappeared in Florida. When the case finally went to trial, the prosecution painted a picture of Casey Anthony as a promiscuous party girl, unconcerned with her missing daughter and responsible for her murder. This drew much attention to the young mother. Casey Anthony is now an extremely well-known name around the United States, when it should not be. Even though Casey was found not guilty, she still is almost a celebrity for committing a horrendous crime. Along with Victoria, these two women should not be seen as popular.
This event is clearly psychological in every way. Psychologically Nikki felt no remorse about what she had done. Jealousy and rage dominated her, to the point that she had token her boyfriend’s life. She stated his eyes are now permanently close, when all eyes should have been on her. When it comes to serious relationships, especially at this time with these new rules and regulations for the 21st century things like murder for just posting a picture of someone else will occur. Social networks have become a very dangerous thing. It changes the way one thinks, act, and
More importantly, “60 percent of children who are sexually abused do not disclose and most are acquaintances but as many as 47 percent are family or extended family” (The Scope of, 2016). The prevalence of child sexual abuse is difficult to determine because it is often not reported; experts agree that the incidence is far greater than what is reported to authorities (Child Sexual Abuse, 2012). Startling statistics represent the depth of the issue. Globally, prevalence rates show that a range of 7-36% of women and 3-29% of men experience sexual abuse in childhood (The Scope of, 2016). “The U.S Department of Health and Human Services’ Children’s Bureau report child maltreatment 2010 found that 9.2% of victimized children were sexually assaulted” (Child Sexual Abuse,
