Chaplain: Well, look who it is! Hi, Roz! Woman: Hey, Chaplain. I got a question for you, ma'am... say I had this friend, and I'm not saying I do, because she'd be mad if she knew I was talking to you... but say this friend of mine thought she was being reassigned so an officer could prey on her. What should she do? Chaplain: Hmm... have you given your imaginary bud a name? Woman: How about Melissa? We could call her Mel for short!
I think we’ve all confirmed that Seabrook was not the culprit and I think GT made it clear somewhere along the way. I can certainly agree that there is nothing worse than doing time for something that you did not do (especially the ones on death row) – it is also horrific to acuse every woman of making it up when she reports being raped. In this case I don’t think there is any doubt that Mel was raped (tho not by Seabrook) – so the false accusation bit should be put to rest.
