SOUNDBITE (English) Thalia Graves, plaintiff: • “The internal pain after being sexually assaulted has been incredibly deep and hard to put into words. It goes beyond just physical harm caused by enduring assault. It's a pain that reaches into your very core of who you are and leaving emotional scars that may never fully heal. Some of the hardest parts of this pain are the shame and the guilt I have experience that plays a negative force in my ability to function properly. Being blamed, questioned and threatened has often made me feel worthless, isolated, and sometimes responsible for what happened to me.” • 4. Zoom in from Gloria Allred and Thalia Graves to a page from the lawsuit • 5. SOUNDBITE (English) Thalia Graves, plaintiff: • “The trauma of the assault has taken a toll on my mental health. I've had PTSD, depression and anxiety. I'm emotionally scarred. It has been hard for me to trust others to form healthy relationships or even feel safe. flashbacks, nightmares and intrusive thoughts make me feel like it's a constant struggle. I also suffer with physical problems such as chronic pain, sexual discomfort. The violation I have experienced during the assault has had lasting effects on my body, causing ongoing health problems and complications. The combination of physical and emotional pain has created a cycle of suffering from which it is so hard to break free. I want to continue on this journey towards recovery and immediately I am glad that he is locked up. But that's a temporary feeling of relief.” • ++SEPARATED BY BLACK FRAMES++ • 6. SOUNDBITE (English) Gloria Allred, Attorney for Thalia Graves: • “She would never have consented to the videotaping and did not consent and did not authorize the videotaping in the same way that she alleges that she would never have consented to be victimized in the way that she alleges that she was.” • 7.
