内容简述
In-depth examination of the dark side of an American justice system where women who report sexual assault are instead charged with perjury and jailed for it.
Investigative journalist Rae de Leon has discovered a startling pattern in rape cases in the United States. Namely, that women who have reported a sexual assault are suspected of lying by the police. First they are accused of making up their allegations, later they are prosecuted for giving false testimony and sometimes they end up serving prison sentences. ‘Victim/Suspect’ shows how the roles are reversed so the perpetrators are declared innocent while the victims sometimes end up behind bars and other times end their lives. Rae de Leon gets first-hand accounts from the women and interviews legal experts as she delves into police methods, interrogation techniques and preliminary investigations, and the outcome reveals a corrupt system. Nancy Schwartzman charts a law enforcement agency that confuses victims and suspects and is relevant far beyond America’s borders. It is a powerful testimony to systemic failure, police handling of cases and a determined journalist’s attempt to change it.

“这种故事蕴含着强大的力量。”
真实事件 年轻记者 揭露性侵报案 被诉报假案 警察不作为
零零散散 无法集中去看
想起了《初步举证》，类似的话题/案件。受害者要拼尽全力证明自己没有撒谎，调查过程中从而受到二次伤害，而真正的嫌疑人/施暴者却完美隐身。背后是整个体制的失衡，职权的失责。在梅根一案的审问过程中，对于女性受害者是漫长又折磨一遍又一遍的重复审问，而在男性施暴者那一边则是轻松对谈。 在受害者本就有了创伤的情况下，性侵案件还能使用诓骗诱导的方式让受害者认罪，并不对真正的嫌疑人进行调查，这对于施暴者简直是太有利了。。整个体系的漏洞太大了，所有进行调查的警员都是完全失职。 “当受害者被逮捕”，这样的情况肯定会继续存在，但是让更多的人了解到性侵案件从报案审问诱导认罪到结案的真实情况，就是这部纪录片的意义。
原来“解决提出问题的人”是全球通用手法，不过还好某些地方还有调查记者。题材很好，但片子拍得太一般。
