It would be Saskia's one chance to address Mike on the record.

And it would be her only opportunity to show the judge who Mike Levengood really was.

Marisa stood up and addressed the court.

Michael Levengood, you have no shame.

You sit here and you deny your wrongdoing in the face of irrefutable evidence that you're a rapist.

We, her family and friends, we know what you did.

We see the truth clearly.

I know when it all started, even before the date was shared today, because she was deteriorating mentally and physically right before our eyes and we had no explanation as to why.

I went with her, with you sometimes, to multiple doctors and hospitals, trying to find out what was wrong with her.

No one could answer how she could get well.

I recall vividly one night shortly after her mother died, which I'll share that that date was September 30th, 2017, right before the videos began, when despite drinking no more than anyone else, she was suddenly and surprisingly so incapacitated that she could not walk.

Everyone was so concerned what had happened.

She was fine one minute and then not the next.

We thought about taking her to the hospital, but he was so calm.

always in charge, always in control, less concerned than others, and reassured me personally that she would be fine, that he was there to take care of her.

And now I have to wonder, based on that date, did you drug her that night?

Or did you just encourage her to drink?

Did you set up your cameras and fondle and manipulate her body while she was not aware and could not physically resist you?

Your Honor, even now I feel my words are probably lost on him.

He has only been concerned about himself.
