- In the criminal justice
system,

sexually based offenses

are considered
especially heinous.

In New York City,
the dedicated detectives

who investigate
these vicious felonies

are members of an elite squad

known as
the Special Victims Unit.

These are their stories.

[distant sirens wailing]

- Which is worse,
finding a spider in your cereal

or a snake in your bed?

- Snake.

Wait, hold on.

What kind of spider?

- Big and hairy,
like a tarantula.

- Hmm.

Is the snake maybe harmless?

- Nope.

- It's still a snake.

Jay, you're spilling
cereal everywhere.

- Is that coffee?

Can I have some?

- You don't need coffee.

You're nine, you goofball.

Get ready for school.

- Can we visit Mom
and Dad this weekend?

- Yeah, sure.

Get moving.

We're gonna be late!

- You look pretty.

- Dress for success.

- When you're the boss, do you
think you could get me a job?

- Sure.

I'll make you my COO.

- Then I can quit school.

And maybe we could,

I don't know, go on a trip?

- You have your homework?
- Got it.

- Your keys?

Show me.

Okay.

See you at 6:00.

Love you.

- Love you too.

[indistinct chatter]

- Tom.

Yeah, it's Steve
from AmeriWatch.

- My first job is to protect
you and your company.

- I'm not here just to sell
you a bunch of policies.

It's a relationship.

- Big, fat commission, baby!

Boom!

Throughline Trucking.

Whoo!

- Kyra?

Frank wants to see you.

- Of course.

What's it about?

- He's got a new prospect.

Frank's been trying to get
the guy's business for years.

- Kyra here is
a real up-and-comer.

She's bright. She's quick.

She's really going places.

- Yeah, terrific.

It's a pleasure
to meet you, Kyra.

- Jim owns an aviation company.

- Well, I own a helicopter
business, actually--

Helivate.

- I've heard of it.

- So who's doing
the sales pitch?

- Kyra is.

Tonight, with me.

You can go get
the file from Grace.

- I will.

I'm grateful
for the opportunity.

- Ah, please.

Looking forward to it.

- Hey, there they are.

Come on in, guys.

Good to see you.

- You too. Thank you.

- Yeah, they sent up
a cheese plate.

- Nice.

- So would anybody
like a glass of wine?

- Uh, sure.
That sounds good.

- Okay.

- Kyra?

- I'm okay.
- Ah.

- Thank you.

- [chuckles]

This girl of yours
is all business, huh?

- [chuckles]
She's a machine.

Why don't you,
uh, start your pitch?

- Now?

- Yeah, you're ready, right?

- So Kyra, tell me,
why should Helivate give

their liability coverage
to AmeriWatch?

- I've compiled
an elite plan, which is--

[phone buzzing]

Comprehensive
and highly tailored

to a commuter helicopter
operation.

- Sounds great.
- Guys, sorry.

I'm so sorry.

This is my wife.

Hi, hon.
I'm in a meeting.

What's up?

[sighs] Can it wait?

Yeah, I'm--
okay, I'm on my way.

Sorry.
[clears throat]

My son has a peanut allergy.

- Oh, jeez.

- And my wife is rushing
him to the hospital.

I really should go.

- Is he gonna be all right?
- Uh, yeah.

He'll--he'll be okay.

Jim, sorry.
- No, no, no.

No apologies necessary.

You go take care of your kid.

- Why don't we reschedule?

- No, no, Kyra.

Come on.

You've been at AmeriWatch
for two years.

You deserve this.

- Damn.

- Some night, huh?

- Yeah.

Excuse me, sweetie.

- Should I keep going?

- Yeah, yeah.

I'm just going to get this
while it's still wet.

- Well, your helicopters--

[water running]
Your Airbus H125s,

are state-of-the-art assets.

- I'm listening.

- Okay.

Um, our policy will not only
provide full replacement

for damages or accidents,

but liability
and reputation protection,

meaning if an incident occurs,

we don't just provide
legal costs,

we provide PR
and management services.

- That all sounds great.

- Oh.
- Wonderful.

It's okay.

Settle down.

[tense music]

You are beautiful.

♪

You see this smile on my face?

♪

You know why that's there?

- No.

- Because I know
I'm in good hands.

- [chuckles nervously] Yeah.

- Yeah.

So are you.

Okay?

Yeah.

- Velasco, you put in
for 20 hours of OT last week?

- Yes, I did--all legit.

- What, you want me
to investigate, Sarge?

Because I got an in with IAB.

- Nope, don't drag me into it.

- Fin, 1PP is asking
for last month's OT.

- Still working on it.
- All right.

Well--
- Captain.

- Hi.

I'm Captain Benson.

How can I help you?

- Jay Thompson,
nine years old,

walked into the 11th precinct
instead of going

to school this morning.

- Okay, did something
happen to him?

- I think he's just worried
about his older sister.

She didn't come home
last night.

Her name is Kyra Thompson.

- Okay, well, I'm sure
that he's worried,

but that sounds like
a missing persons case, no?

- I made a few calls.

She's over at Mercy.

Sounds like sexual assault.

- Oh.

- I didn't know what
to tell the kid.

- Okay.

Well, have you
called his parents?

- They're out of the picture.

I didn't want to get CPS
involved if I didn't have to.

- Good.

Thank you, Officer Moore.

I'll take it from here.

Thank you.

Okay. Jay?

Hi.

My name is Olivia.

So you wanna tell me
what's going on?

- My sister, she didn't come
home from work last night.

She said she'd be a little late
because she had a meeting,

but I haven't seen her.

I didn't know what to do.

- Okay.

So Jay, do you have
a grandmother,

or an aunt or uncle
or somebody

that I can call for you?

- It's just me and Kyra.

My mom and dad died last year.

- Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Um, how about I get somebody
here to take care of you?

- Who's going to take care
of my sister?

[solemn music]

- I will.

♪

[dramatic music]

♪

- So I'm here
for Kyra Thompson.

She was sent on a bus
from Belmore Hotel.

- We treated a bruise
on her head.

- Yeah, did she say anything
about a sexual assault?

- She doesn't seem
to want to talk about it.

She's worried about
her little brother.

I lent her my cell,
but he hasn't picked up.

- All right.
Thanks, Jen.

I appreciate it.

- Jay, I'm worried sick.

Please call me back
as soon as you get this.

- Kyra, hi.

I'm Captain Benson.

We have Jay.

He's at our precinct,
and he's safe.

- How did he get there?

- Well, I guess when he woke up
and you weren't there,

he just marched straight
into the local precinct.

He's a very resourceful
little guy.

Let me get him
on the phone for you.

- Okay.
[phone beeps]

- Silva. Hey.

Um, I'm here with Jay's sister.

Will you put him on?
- Okay.

- Kyra.
- Jay.

- Is that you?
- Yes.

Um, I'm fine.

I'm fine.

How are you?

- Detective Silva,
they found Kyra!

- I know.
That's great news.

- I'm fine too.

What happened to you?

Why didn't you come home
last night?

- I worked really late.

[clears throat] I'm sorry.

I'll come get you
as soon as I can.

Okay, goofball?

I love you.

- I love you too.

- There you go.

Uh, where--
where are you going?

- Uh, I have to go pick him up.

- Oh, I'll drive you.

Before we do that, though,
I would love

to make sure that you're okay.

- I'm--I'm fine.
- You sure?

Because the nurse said that
you may have been

sexually assaulted.

- I was in a business meeting.

I never should have let
myself be alone with him.

- Okay.

Can--can you tell me more?

- I can't. I can't.

- And why not?

- You don't understand
how badly I need this job.

- Because you take care of your
little brother on your own?

- Mm-hmm.

- Okay, so Kyra, uh,
I don't want to pressure you

into doing anything
that you don't want to do.

I'd really like you to walk me
through what happened.

- Went in to clean
this morning,

found the girl locked
in the bathroom, scared.

- What name was
the room booked under?

- Uh, Jim Hogan.

Ordered room service, wine.

- Okay, so the guy came
expecting a party,

and things went south.

- Is this where you found Kyra?

- I heard something.

I tried the knob--
wouldn't open.

I told her I was housekeeping.

She asked, what happened
to the man who booked the room?

When I said he was gone,
she opened the door.

- Then what'd she say?

- That he forced himself
on her.

- Sexually.

We called 911.

- Did she say anything else?

- She couldn't find her phone.

- After she left
in the ambulance,

we found it under the couch.

- We'll get it to her.

- So what did this Hogan guy
look like when he checked out?

- Seemed fine.

[knock on door]
- In here.

We're going to need CSU
to process the scene.

- We're also going to need to
look at your security footage.

- It was supposed to be
a business meeting

with the three of us.

But my boss had to leave early.

- How come?

- His kid has peanut allergies.

- And what is your boss's name?

- Frank Bailey.

- And, um, the name
of the man who assaulted you?

- J-Jim Hogan.

- And so when your boss left,

it was just you and Hogan
in the hotel room?

- I was nervous.

It was my first
real sales pitch.

- Okay, so you did the pitch.

And then--and then
what happened?

- He spilled wine on his shirt.

He went into the bathroom,
came out,

and I turned around.

He was towering over me.

- And what did he do?

- He, um, got down
on his knees.

He pulled my skirt up,

m-my underwear aside,

and he started
going down on me.

- And you didn't want that
to happen?

- No. [crying]

I pushed him away,
ran into the bathroom.

He tried to come after me.

I put my weight
against the door.

And that's when I hit my head.

I barely managed to lock it.

- So you stayed locked
in the bathroom all night?

- I--I gotta go.

I, um--I already
told work I'd be late,

so they're--they're gonna
be worried about me.

- What did you tell them?

- That I hit my head.
I had to go to the hospital.

I--please, I--
I should go.

- Okay, so Kyra,
what you're describing,

what this man did to you,
is a crime.

- I'm already in trouble.

I have to tell my boss
I blew the deal.

- Okay, I understand.

And you can tell them
whatever you want.

But--but I'd really like you
to do a rape kit, okay?

- Sorry to interrupt.

These were delivered for you.

- Okay, thanks.

- "Thanks for
the great evening.

"No hard feelings.

Jim."

- Jim, the man
who assaulted you?

- A great evening?

A great evening?

That's what he thinks it was?

He thinks he can just
get away with it?

- So Kyra, it's up to you
whether or not he's successful.

- I want to file
a police report.

- Okay.

[tense music]

- I'll do a rape kit too.

♪

- Is there any update
on Kyra's case?

- Got an outcry statement
from the housekeeper

that talked her out
of the bathroom.

- Oh, that's good.
That's helpful.

- And the Belmore Hotel got
us their security footage.

- Okay.
So this is our perp.

- Jim Hogan, leaving
the hotel at 8:30 p.m.

- After he assaulted Kyra.

- The doorman says he saw him
get into a QuikRide

and the records indicated
he headed home

to Darien, Connecticut.

- Does he have a record?

- DUI a few years back.
- Okay, good.

So he's in the system.

- As soon as we get
the results from Kyra's kit,

we'll see if there's a match.

- What else do we know
about him?

- He's recently divorced,
a couple of kids in college.

- And he owns a helicopter
commuting business.

- Yeah, he shuttles rich people
to airports,

the Hamptons,
Westchester County.

- Must be nice to look down
at the slobs during rush hour.

- So this was a big contract
for AmeriWatch.

I mean, Kyra's boss
has to have some intel.

- Couldn't hurt to ask.

- All right, Curry and Velasco,
you two talk to Frank Bailey.

Fin, Silva, speak with Jim
and tread lightly.

- Before he lawyers up.

- Yeah, get him to commit
to something,

and maybe it'll trip him up.

- Yeah, I was at the Belmore.
I had a business meeting.

What are you guys here about?

- We're investigating
an incident

that happened
in your hotel suite.

- An incident?

[chuckles]
What are you talking about?

- That business meeting that
you had with Frank Bailey

and Kyra Thompson, right?

- Yeah, she was
a hell of a saleswoman.

We closed a big deal.
Why?

- Anything go on
between you two?

- Nah. No.

No.

- So there was
no physical contact at all?

- Well, I mean, you know, I--

I took my shot.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- I'm a guy.

- So that's a yes?

- What exactly is it
she's saying?

- That you
sexually assaulted her.

- No way.
No. No.

We were having a great time,
and it was mutual.

- Except only one of you got
a rape kit done yesterday.

- Doesn't sound mutual to me.

- Look, there are
only two people

who know what happened
in that room,

and I can tell you this.

She was selling something,
and I bought it.

And I'm done talking to you
without a lawyer,

you understand?

Ramon, escort these people out,
will you?

- To be honest, I don't
really know what happened

in that room between
Kyra and Jim.

- Why did you leave?
- My son was sick.

- So you trusted your assistant
to close the deal?

- Well, I've been mentoring
Kyra for over a year.

She was ready.

When I talked to Jim
this morning,

it sounded like it went well.

- Like it went well?

Your employee was
sexually assaulted.

- By Jim?

When I called Kyra
this morning

to talk about
her commission check,

she sounded
pretty damn happy to me.

- So according to Kyra's boss,

he just left her
to close the deal?

- Yeah, and Jim is claiming
that he got mixed signals.

- And Kyra's standing
by her story?

- So far, yes.
- Oh.

Well, if she does,
I can charge the guy.

Would be helpful if the DNA
was on his kit, though.

- Captain,
Kyra's little brother

just called me on my cell.

- Jay?
What--what's going on?

- He's worried about her.

He says that she won't
come out of her room,

and he doesn't know what to do.

- Well, tell him
we're on our way.

- Jay, it's Detective Silva.

- Kyra's in her bedroom.

I tried to talk to her,
but she won't stop crying.

- Okay, well, you did
the right thing by calling us.

- What's wrong with her?

She won't tell me
what happened.

- Let me find out.

- Yeah, how about, uh,
we make something to eat?

- Okay.

- Kyra, hey.

What's going on?

- I'm all spun out.

- About?

- I spoke to Frank.
- Uh-huh.

- Business Affairs
at AmeriWatch

just issued
my commission check--

50,000.

- Wow.
That's--that's a lot of money.

- Not just for me,
but for Jay too.

- Is that what you thought
you were going to get?

- [sniffles]
Frank said Jim called him

personally to apologize.

They both decided
to add a little extra

to my commission check.
- So Kyra--

- But what if I'm confused

about the way
I'm remembering things?

Yeah, I don't want Jim
to get in trouble

for--for something that's
just a misunderstanding.

- Misunderstanding?

Kyra, the way you described it
to me in the hospital

didn't sound like
a misunderstanding.

- Jim sounded surprised
I even filed a police report.

[phone buzzes]

- Well, uh, your rape kit
results just came back.

And his DNA was on your body.

He did exactly
what you said he did to you.

And my ADA can make
a very good case out of that.

- I don't know if I can
go through with this.

- Either way, we already
have enough to arrest him.

[tense music]

♪

[helicopter whirring]
- Hey, Jim!

- You again?

Am I going to have
to get a restraining order?

- Very funny.
Sorry to interrupt your trip.

You're under arrest.
- For what?

- Sexual assault!
- What are you talking about?

- Okay, what about our trip?
- You can go on it,

just not with him.
- You stay here, all right?

It's a misunderstanding.
What are you doing?

- You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will
be used against you

in the court of law.

- Since when is
pleasuring a lady illegal?

- That usually depends on
whether she wants it or not.

- So why are you
wasting our time?

- And yours?

- You told our detectives
that you tried something

with Kyra Thompson?

- That's right.

- Well, it turns out what you
tried was a sexual assault.

- Aren't you forgetting
the word "alleged"?

- There's nothing alleged about
your DNA on her vagina.

- You're looking at rape three.

- This is not my fault.

- So you had just accidentally
ended up between her legs?

- I was trying to go
down on her, all right?

I'm more of a giver
than a taker.

- Kyra said that
she was so scared

that she locked herself
in the bathroom.

- Look, I just figured
she was my closing gift.

- You have to explain that
to us.

- Go ahead.
Tell them what you told me.

- When I was in the AmeriWatch
offices earlier that day,

the boss, Frank,
said that he had

some kind of
a deal sweetener for me.

- Something to get
my client to close.

- So he brings Kyra
into the office,

and she seemed very excited
about seeing us

that night at the hotel.

This business of his kid
having a peanut allergy--

that's why he left early--
that's total BS.

- So what you're saying is

Frank Bailey gave Kyra to you
in order to get your business?

- Yeah, I figured the three
of us had an understanding.

That's the truth.

- You believe this?

That Frank Bailey offered
Kyra up to Jim?

- That, plus the padded
commission check?

I mean, he sells insurance.

I mean, maybe he
got himself a piece.

- Does Kyra know something?

- Maybe, maybe not.

Look, the fact of the matter
is that Frank Bailey

is looking more and more
like an accessory.

So what can we get him for?

- Well, right now, he could be
looking at first-degree rape

as an accomplice if he
facilitated the assault.

But if he threatened to
go along, that's coercion.

- Only Kyra knows
the answer to that.

♪

- Kyra, thank you so much
for coming in.

- Captain Benson,
this is Grace Callahan.

- You're the COO
of AmeriWatch, right?

- And a friend of Kyra's.
- Yeah.

- It's cold out,
and she offered me a ride.

- Oh. Thank you so much.

- You want me
to come in with you?

- You know, actually,

it's probably best
if you just have a seat here.

We won't be long.

- Is this about
you arresting Jim?

- Well, actually, it's about
a little more than that.

Okay, why don't you
go ahead and have a seat?

So Kyra,

when we were
interrogating Jim,

he seemed to insinuate
that Frank

had something to do
with your sexual assault.

- What? What do you mean?

- The call that Frank got,
well, that wasn't true.

It turns out that that was made
up to get you alone with Jim.

- No.

- And Frank told Jim
that you would be willing

to do anything
to close the deal.

- Couldn't Jim just be lying?

- Well, we spoke
to Frank's wife,

and she said that
she never called.

- Then who did?

- Someone from AmeriWatch.

So is there anything, any
reason that you can think of,

that Frank may have thought
that you would be, you know,

willing to, um, go further or
to do more to close that deal?

Is--did he have any
leverage over you or--

- Last December, I ran
an errand to the liquor store

to get supplies
for our Christmas party.

When I went inside to pay,

an envelope that Grace
had given me

with 2 grand in cash
wasn't in my purse.

I must have dropped it
in the parking lot.

- And how did Frank respond?

- To be honest, I thought
I was gonna be fired,

or even worse, arrested.

- And have Jay taken from you?

Is that what Frank insinuated?

- Frank said he didn't
want to go that far.

And it wouldn't have to,

as long as we found
a way to work it out.

- How did he suggest
that you do that?

- By earning commission.

He said he was thinking about
promoting me to sales anyway.

- Mm-hmm.

- And when the deal came up,

he told me he found
my first promotion.

- With Jim Hogan?

- He said,
if I closed that deal,

he would write off
the money I lost.

- There's a word
for what he did to you.

It's called coercion.

- No.

No.

- He wanted to close that deal.

And you were the signing bonus.

And I'm gonna
take him down for that.

- This past December,
Frank threatened to report Kyra

to the police over
some missing cash

if she didn't close the deal?

- He's a white collar pimp.

- Well, if Kyra's willing
to testify to that,

then I can make a case.

But it would help if I could
establish some sort of pattern.

- Meaning other victims.

- A guy like this,
this isn't his first time.

- How long has he
been in business?

- 20 years.

- And nobody's ever
complained to HR?

- This company doesn't
even have an HR.

- All right, well,
then let's see

if we can find any
young female employees

that left the firm
under duress.

- Thank you
for meeting me here.

- Yeah, of course.

I could have just
come to your office,

but I think we both know that
would have been bad for morale.

You know what else
is bad for morale,

is a young employee being
assaulted under your watch.

- I feel awful about
what happened to Kyra,

but that's not on management.

- Frank tell you that?

- Not in so many words.

- He sounds like
a hell of a salesman.

- Look, our only misstep was

leaving a young,
inexperienced girl

to make a sale on her own
before she was ready.

- Mm.

- It's a tough business,
especially for women.

Not everyone makes it.

- But as COO,
you must have something

to do with the hiring, right?

- I meet with people
before they're hired, yes.

- So what I'm gonna need
is a list

of all the young
and impressionable females

that you've hired
in the last couple of years.

- And why would I
give you that?

- Well, I was trying
to save you the embarrassment

of a subpoena.

- For what?

- To find out
who really called Frank

about his kid's peanut allergy.

I think you and I both know
that it wasn't his wife.

[tense music]

- How old were you when you
were hired at AmeriWatch?

- I was 18.

It was my first job
out of high school.

- What was your job there?

- Frank said it was
to cultivate new clients.

- Okay, and what exactly
did that entail?

- Well, first, it was just
kind of being table candy.

- Table candy?

- Yeah, that's what
Frank called it--

you know, looking pretty
and laughing

at the male clients'
dumb jokes.

- So I'm guessing Frank Bailey
eventually expected more?

- He wanted me
to have sex with them.

- What did he say would
happen if you didn't?

- That he would find
someone else who would do

what it took to make
AmeriWatch successful.

- When I finally refused,
Frank said

I had nothing else
to offer AmeriWatch.

- Is that when he
threatened to fire you?

- Not exactly.

He just said they already
had too many assistants,

so I kind of just
stopped seeing my name

on the schedule one day.

- Yeah, I worked at AmeriWatch.

Worst year of my entire life.

- Well, we read your
employer report.

It says that you were fired
for showing up to work

with a bottle of tequila.

- And standing
on top of your desk

in the middle of
the bullpen screaming,

"Screw Frank Bailey."

- Yeah, they called security,
dragged me out of there.

- Why not just quit?

- Everything Frank
put me through?

I sure as hell was going
to get unemployment.

- Can you tell us exactly
what he put you through?

- He somehow found out
about the nudes

I posted on my ForMyFans page
back in college.

Threatened to tell
my family unless

I was table candy for one
of his prospective clients.

I didn't know it at the time,
but apparently, he had

already taken screenshots
of some of those pictures

and showed them
to the client in question.

- What happened next?

- Well, he told me
if I didn't entertain the guy,

I'd pay a price.

I mean, he was basically
blackmailing me.

- We think we can make a case
against him, with your help.

- Well, if I was willing
to stand on top of my desk

and call Frank a prick,

I'd sure as hell be willing
to do it in open court.

[phones ringing]

- NYPD.

I need everyone to stand up
and step away from your desks.

Step away from your computers

and any devices
you may have, now.

Thank you.
- For how long?

- For as long as it takes.

- We have a warrant
to search the premises.

- You have any idea how much
money this is costing me?

- And a warrant
for your arrest--

two counts of sexual coercion
in the second degree.

- I'll call you a lawyer.
- Oh.

You're still covering
his ass, I see.

Yeah, if I was you, I'd start
thinking about your own.

♪

- Yes, I had a meeting
with Frank Bailey

and his junior agent, Kyra,

at my suite at the Belmore
to discuss an insurance policy.

- But Frank had to leave early?

- Yes, but I wasn't surprised.

- Why was that?

- Well, in his office,
he told me

that I'd been such a pain
in the ass to negotiate with

that he'd send Kyra

to put a little sugar on top
to close the deal.

- What did you take that
to mean?

- That she'd be open
to making me happy

in order to secure
the insurance policy

on my new aviation company.

- Open?

Sexually?

- Well, yeah.
- And was she?

- No, I--I made my move,

but she made it
very clear very quickly

she was not interested.

Look, I've--I've got
two daughters Kyra's age,

and I'm very sorry
about what took place.

But Frank Bailey led me on.

- Did you call Mr. Bailey,
the defendant,

after you left the hotel?

- Yes, I did,
and I recorded it.

- People's Exhibit 1,
Your Honor.

[tablet beeps]

- Frank, what the hell?

I just left Kyra at the hotel.
She's a mess.

- What do you mean?

- You told me she'd do
whatever I wanted,

but she freaked out.

- Jim, come on,
don't put the fact

that you struck out on me.

Do you want the deal or not?

- Yeah, I want the deal.

- So just send her flowers,
and I'll talk to her.

Don't worry.
We'll get the deal done.

[tablet beeps]

- Did Mr. Bailey deny

that he had offered up Kyra
to close the deal?

- He didn't deny anything.

- Thank you.
Nothing further.

- Mr. Hogan,
did Mr. Bailey ever tell you

specifically that
Kyra would offer sex

in exchange for the deal?

- Well, not in
those words exactly,

but he certainly
talked around it.

- So not in any words?

- Well, it was pretty clear
what he meant.

- Or did you just
jump to conclusions?

- Look, I'm not a lawyer.
I'm a businessman from Texas.

- Also, you're
a straight shooter.

- Yeah.

- But you're currently
under indictment

for sexually assaulting
Ms. Thompson.

Did the prosecutor offer you
a deal to testify today?

- Yes, but I'm here because
it's the right thing to do.

- And your plea got the charge
reduced to sexual misconduct.

A misdemeanor?

- Yes.

- Well, that is one hell
of a negotiation.

You really are a businessman,
aren't you, Mr. Hogan?

Withdrawn.
Nothing further.

- The boss, Frank Bailey,

began to ask me to meet
with potential clients

to do what it took to get them
to make a deal with AmeriWatch.

- Well, what did you
take that to mean?

- It was pretty clear
he wanted me to screw them.

- Well, how did he
make it clear?

- Well, the first time a client
tried to have sex with me,

I complained to Frank.

He said this was
part of my job.

And then he threatened me.

He found ForMyFans account
I had back in college,

suggested he would email it to
my father if I didn't comply.

- Thank you.
Nothing further.

- Did Frank Bailey
give you bonuses

when you, um, closed a deal?

- Yes, he did.

- What kind of percentages
we talking?

- Well, it depended on
how nice I was.

Frank's very transactional.

- Are you?

- Objection.

- Sustained.

- Morgan, over the year
you worked with AmeriWatch,

you were paid in excess
of $65,000 in bonuses.

Did you cash those checks?

- Yes.

It was my money.

I earned it.

- Nothing further.

- When I was first hired
at AmeriWatch as an assistant,

I brought the agents coffee,

lunch, ran errands
for the office.

- When did that change?

- December of last year.

We were planning
the office Christmas party.

Grace, our company's COO,

had given me $2,000 in cash
to buy liquor.

Somewhere along the trip,
I must have lost the envelope.

- And how did Frank
respond to this?

- He was understanding
at first,

said there was no need
to call the police,

that he had a way
I could work it off.

- Work it off.
Did he explain how?

- He said he was thinking about
promoting me to sales agent.

And that included me doing

whatever it took to, uh,
"close the deal."

- So basically doing
what the client wanted?

- Yes.

The first few meetings,
Frank was with me.

I would sit next to clients,

smile, make conversation.

- But this all changed with
the incident with Jim Hogan?

- Frank left the meeting early.

What I didn't know,
Frank had told Jim

I would do whatever he needed
to get his business.

- What did that mean?

- Jim obviously expected that
I would have sex with him.

He assaulted me.

- Thank you, Kyra.

- Ms. Thompson,
were those Frank's exact words?

That he would report you
to the police

unless you let the clients
do whatever they wanted?

- He was more subtle than that.

- What were his exact words?

- That he would
look the other way

about the $2,000
that went missing.

But I needed to do
my part for AmeriWatch.

- How much did Frank pay you

for closing the deal
with Mr. Hogan, Kyra?

My records indicate
it was $50,000.

That sound about right?

- Yes.

- And even though you claim
to be assaulted, you, um--

you cashed the check?

- I needed the money to support
myself and my little brother.

- Nothing further.

- Insurance sales is a very
high-pressure business.

It's up to every employee
in my office

how they choose
to respond to that pressure.

- So you never threatened
any of your employees

to get them to engage
in sexual acts

for the good of your business?

- Absolutely not.

- Well, how do you explain
Kyra Thompson's testimony

that you blamed her
for losing $2,000?

- Everybody makes mistakes.

But at AmeriWatch,
we're like a big family.

We help each other out.

I had no idea she was gonna
take it the way she did.

- And Morgan Tynes'
contention that you

threatened to send screenshots

of her ForMyFans page
to her family?

- Now, that's just a pure lie.

- You're saying
she lied under oath?

- What I'm saying is,
incentives

dictate outcomes
100% of the time.

And Morgan has a pretty
big incentive to lie.

- You're referring
to the possible civil suit

that might follow this trial?
- I am.

- Objection, speculation.

- Withdrawn.
Nothing further.

- Mr. Bailey, did you just
promote Kyra Thompson to sales?

- Yes.

- And as a condition
of that promotion,

did you expect Kyra
to have drinks

with the CEO of Helivate?
- Yes.

All the salespeople
at AmeriWatch

have drinks with clients.

- But why,
on the night in question,

did you lie about
your son being sick

in order to leave her alone
with Jim Hogan?

- I deeply regret that now.

But I thought
that I was giving her

some valuable life experience
to complete a sale on her own.

- But if you were simply giving
her valuable life experience,

then why didn't you
just tell her that?

- I thought that
she might balk.

- It wasn't because you
had promised Jim Hogan,

in your office on
the day of Kyra's assault,

that Kyra would do whatever he
wanted her to later that night?

- Absolutely not.

I never said anything
even remotely like that.

Jim lied about that
to get a deal from you.

Like I said,
incentives dictate outcomes.

Frank called me
into his office.

the Helivate Aviation account,

a done deal.

he was so sure?

- He said that he and Kyra were
meeting with Jim that night,

that he would duck out early,
leave Kyra alone with Jim,

and that she knew
what to do to close.

- What did Frank mean by that?

- He said Kyra would
be willing to provide

Kyra didn't lose it or take it.

Frank did.

There's no other reason?

20 years ago, Frank Bailey did
