Ricardo: “Well jess, can I call you jess?”

me either. I don’t want to pressure you at all”

Jessica: “Sure I guess”

Ricardo: “Wait right in living please”

Jessica: “I thought you said that you came to your mother, there isn’t anyone here, there’s no
television”

Ricardo: “Shut up”

Jessica: “Why did I even trust you? Ughh I’m so stupid”

Ricardo: “You are stupid”

Jessica: “Why are you walking so close to me”

Ricardo: “Don’t worry I’ll be quick”

Jessica: “Please don’t touch me”

Ricardo: “Keep still”

Jessica: “Please get off me”

Jessica: “I’ll do anything, please just stop”

Ricardo: “Stay still”

Jessica: “Please I’m begging you”

Ricardo: “Keep begging”

Jessica: “Someone help”

Ricardo: “Don’t worry sweetie, nobody can hear you”

Jessica: “Please just let me go, it hurts so much”

Ricardo: “Not now sweetie”

Jessica: “I promise I won’t tell anyone”

Ricardo: “Even if you did nobody would believe you, you’re just the 16 year old girl who sneaked out
of her parents’ house to meet a boy that you don’t actually know the real name of.”

AT JESSICA’S HOUSE AFTER RICARDO LET HER GO KNOWING THAT NOBODY WON’T BELIEVE HER

Jessica: “Hey Kelly, you’re my bestfriend and I can tell you everything right?”

Kelly: “Yeah for sure”

Jessica: “I was raped”

Kelly: “What?!”

Jessica: “I’m sorry, but it’s all my fault”

Kelly: “How is that your fault, no matter what led up to it, nobody deserves to get raped”

Jessica: “I know, but I put my trust into a total stranger, and I knew he was weird at first but I
thought he would change”

Kelly: “Who was it? When did this happen?”

Jessica: “He said his name was Ricardo, but I don’t think that’s his actual name, all I know is that he
raped me yesterday merciless”

Kelly: “OMG Jessica, don’t cry”

Jessica: “I’m sorry but I’m so embarrassed”

Kelly: “You have nothing to be embarrassed about, go tell your parents what happened right now”

Jessica: “I can’t, they’ll never listen to me”

Kelly: “They will, they have to, how does he look?”

Jessica: “He’s tall, about 6’5ft, darkskin and he also has a huge moustache, I didn’t notice anything
else because I didn’t think it’ll lead to this”

Kelly: “It’s okay, I’m here for you”

Jessica: “Thanks but I’m so scared that I’ll look stupid”

Kelly: “You won’t, Speak up!”

Jessica: “Okay I will, can you help me?”

Kelly: “No problem, I’ll help you through everything”

Jessica: “This is really heart breaking for, I feel so gullible and naive to put my trust in a total
stranger”

Kelly: “No, you’re not naïve, you’re just a very kindhearted person who just wanted to be friends
with someone who had the wrong intentions”
Jessica: “I wish people wasn’t this cruel, I don’t think I can trust anyone anymore”

Kelly: “You’ll get through this, It takes years of healing, late night crying, regrets, doubts and
forgiving”

Jessica: “I hope I can really get through this, thanks bestfriend for everything”

Kelly: “Your welcome, now let’s go talk to your parents so they can contact the police”

Jessica: “Okay sure.”
