They were trying to convince the judge that Saskia did consent in hopes of getting Mike less time.

This was all one big misunderstanding.

You'll hear the judge's take on that later in the episode.

But for now, back to Mike's attorney.

With that, he asked the judge to give Mike the lowest possible sentence.

And then it was the state's turn.

The prosecutor, Rebecca McVitie, stood up before the judge.

They are committed in darkness after that trust has been established.

That is the reason that this betrayal is so intense for Ms.

If the state was not precluded from going forward on rape charges under the incapacitation theory, the state would be looking at hours and hours of more footage, countless more counts of second degree rape, as the defendant himself admits repeatedly engaging in sexual acts while Ms.

Inwood was completely unconscious.

Defense counsel referenced that this is a tornado of pornography addiction.

But a tornado comes and goes in moments.

From October 20, 2017 until October 25, 2018, about a year, the defendant that we know of videotaped Ms.

Inwood while she was unconscious or inebriated over 30 times.

That is not a tornado.

That is a year of perpetuating this continual betrayal of trust

over and over again with the person he was supposed to protect the most.

Rebecca then described the contents of one of the videos Mike took because the charges on paper could never capture what was in those videos.

It feels important to Saskia and to us for people to know the extent of Mike's crimes.
