The man was convicted for sexually assaulting and drugging a 13-year-old girl.

She called it a wonderful romance.

This is rape.

This is a crime.

Hello and welcome to Worc case scenario, a special episode of Best Case Worc case.

I'm your host, Francie Hakes, former state and federal prosecutor, and I'm joined by my co-host.

Jim Clemente. How you doing, Francie?

I'm good, Jim, and it's great to be with you here in LA in our offices.

And I'm excited to bring our listeners this special series Worc case scenario.

We've gotten a lot of feedback from listeners about doing current events and the two of us discussing and debating sometimes passionately issues that we disagree on.

So this is our first series that I am calling power position predators.

Well, I'm excited to talk about this because I think there's a number of different places that we see people in power praying on people that they have power over.

Sounds a lot like, I don't know, South sex offenders who use a position of authority to gain access, authority, and control over children.

It does, and you know what else it sounds like? It sounds like Harvey Weinstein, who everyone is talking about now, of course, because of his disgusting repulsive and probably criminal behavior over the last several decades in Hollywood.

So our first topic today, or our first special topic, is going to be Hollywood.

I read a really interesting article this morning, Jim, about why Hollywood tends to be a bit unique when it comes to people in power positions.

And the article opined that it's because it has an unemployment rate of maybe like 90% where you have desperate actors and actresses and very few TV roles or movie roles for them.

And the people who can make a break, not just their career as in a normal job, but their dreams are in a very strong power position over them.

Hence people who are corrupt, evil as I call it or just those who like to pray on the week and vulnerable have that opportunity in spades here.

Yeah, I think that's true. I know people who have been in the business for a while, who have confided in me that they were taking advantage of in the same way, you know, in very blatant ways.

And you know, it's, I mean, people are talking about it a little more directly right now, but certainly Bill Cosby is the prime example of this.

I mean, over 50 women have come forward, Bill, because of his position of authority in the TV and movie industry, got access to, you know, many, many, many women.
