Youtube求救
Teenage girl cry out for help on Youtube, the help did come at last, but will the girl be safe afterwards?
I'm tired of a guy very much 24/7.
That’s when she made this video.
The State Attorney of Florida dosen't wanna prosecute the 23-year-old man that's raped me and drugged me.
The state attorney's office declined our request for an interview. But this court document shows exactly why the case is closed.
The prosecutor concluded that the pair had consensual sex. And though Crystal was only 15 at the time, she was mere one month from turning sixteen at which time it would be legal to give consent. We went to the Orange County Correctional Center to interview Casey Mundling where he was being held on burglary and drug charges. At first, he agreed to the interview, but then backed out though he did tell us he did nothing wrong. He’s now out of jail and on probation.
...and tired of being scared.
We showed Crystal’s video to Trudy Novicki, a former prosecutor who now runs a center for sexually abused children in Miami. I think it is almost so obvious, it's laughable, it's such a cry for help. While research shows a stunning 1 in 4 girls under the age of 18 reports being sexually abused. Novicki says cases rarely go to trial, leaving many young girls feeling the courts let them down. “She is talking to a camera. And that’s all she has to help her? That’s a pretty sad situation. The only thing she can envision help being is to put who she sees as the bad man in jail. There are a lot of other alternatives. It's what I am saying to you, there is a whole system that has got to grab these children.”
Crystal now lives with her father, trying to recapture the childhood she never had. She said she does regret making the video and sharing her story. All she wanted was someone to listen.
I just want someone's help, please!
Once again the case against Casey Mundling was dropped and he insists even though he did have sex with Crystal, he did not break any laws. As for Crystal, she tells us starting next week she will be meeting with a counselor.
You know, I agree with what the lady said in pack. This is a cry for help. You'd, and you’d like to talk to mom and dad, but she didn’t go there. I mean, what the expert say how dangerous is it for a young girl like this to bear her soul on YouTube.
What was really dangerous, just think about it, I mean, these girls are showing their vulnerabilities to the world. And they could become the target for other criminals, or other predators who are out there. Also they may be finding themselves getting unreliable advice when really they should be getting help from a trained counselor. So we linked a secure chatroom where sex abuse victims can safely talk about their experiences. And that so much more right now on cnn.com. That’s good. Thanks for your time.
24/7: or "24 by 7", means round the clock, all the time.
