00:00I decided to, in a way, be my own case study.
00:03And I hadn't seen the video before we started filming.
00:06And I kind of thought, well, you know,
00:08every day we cover gruesome stories,
00:11it will be water off a duck's back.
00:12But I found myself keeping on returning to the images.
00:17It was haunting.
00:18And I think the worst thing about it, you know, as you've reflected,
00:21is not knowing who created this video and why
00:26and where they were and who they were.
00:29And I still think about that, you know.
00:32The image that we're able to show this time of the morning
00:37is chilling.
00:39It's not you.
00:40And clearly, it's the beginning of something,
00:43which, as you have already alluded to,
00:46is explicit and pornographic and disgusting.
00:49And that is, as you've already described,
00:52a haunting thing to know is out there on the internet.
00:55And as you say, you contacted a number of women
00:58who you know have also been subjected to this.
01:00People don't want to talk about it.
01:02They don't want to drive traffic towards these kinds of sites.
