00:00Nova Scotia right now has the worst charge rate for sexual assault in Canada.
00:09She came out of this school with straight A's and then she started at Culharper High.
00:14She met a new friend there. They got vodka.
00:17These are 15-year-olds, right? They left Retea alone with two boys.
00:21And then two more boys showed up.
00:23She does remember somebody saying, take a picture, take a picture.
00:26He decided to start spreading the photograph.
00:28This is me. This is Retea Parsons and I'm having sex with her as she hangs out a window throwing up.
00:34It went viral. It spread everywhere.
00:36The picture just kept circulating.
00:38I watched her get bullied. Girls, like pretty much telling her to go kill herself.
00:43Four males assaulting Retea and not one of those four males was ever brought into a police station for an interview.
00:50It fascinated me. A case could become such a train wreck.
00:54They never interviewed the boys.
00:56They treated her like a delinquent.
00:57You have no evidence because you didn't bother getting any.
00:59She wasn't allowed in Culharper High so you're victimizing her all over again.
01:03He's admitting that Retea was in a state where she's throwing up and she's not in a position to give consent.
01:07And the police knew this.
01:08The prosecutors just said a flat no.
01:10Then Anonymous got involved. Everything blew up.
01:12Greetings citizens of the world. We are Anonymous.
01:15We're gonna come after you and we're going to expose the boys' identities.
01:18Since the police are useless, we as citizens must say no more.
01:22When you don't do anything, you're condoning it.
01:24Someone wrote up a page called Retea Dead Parsons.
01:27They photoshopped belts around her neck.
01:29You're just sick in seeing a story like this.
01:31Bill C-13, what's going to be an invasion of privacy? No, it's not.
01:34This is a global issue.
01:36Teach the boys not to rape. There's a good idea.
01:39Rape is the only crime that I can think of that the victim becomes the accused.
01:44We have police officers who don't understand what sexual assault is.
