The events or actual events it is fiction because then it's AG that now heart -- of being sued.

You know you don't have to sugarcoat the truth so it is fiction is based on cases that I've tried myself in situations that -- been an outlook I was a prosecutor judge and DA for thirty years of I don't know the system who does I started the first domestic violence unit in the nation in L I fought against the odds.

I was the first woman to prosecute a murder case in Westchester County about a little -- women couldn't go for the jugular they are -- we could do it.

Of that well I don't know option -- -- so.

We're gonna look a woman from -- aren't you then super Smart Jerusalem and let me ask about a couple of cases and -- headlines.

Send us your case your take on out.

Looked at this guy is it had a file on me we knew we was it had a.

While right from the get go he selected kids.

That were disenfranchised.

He's selected kids who didn't have any support system.

I've seen that I've seen -- for thirty years I mean he what he did is he grooms the kids he gives them something they can't get.

And then he makes it absolutely impossible for them to complain and unbelievable.

I think that what happened here is a pathetic.

Pathetic.

A situation.

That that he was allowed access to children.

Let me tell you something the rumors were out there -- as the DA investigating him and I did this on my show just as we Judge -- which is on Fox News on Saturday night but what do you the DA investigating him disappeared.

And he was investigating one of the first complaints it's a very interest in case and I think that it's a sad commentary.

Not unlike what we've seen with some of these other organizations and had a -- it's the organization is more important than the victim.

And -- -- yeah.

On -- -- and and we've got to recognize it whether it's the church or whether it's football or anything else.

We are there to protect children and we didn't do it and shame on all.
