This episode contains descriptions of assault and sexual violence.

I'm Natasha del Toro and this is verified, the update episodes.

Throughout the making of this series, we've worked closely with the women verified

as they told us how they fought for justice for seven years.

Many of our listeners have asked us about the women and how they're doing now.

So today you'll hear the reflections of three women from the series and where they are in life.

Now we understand that for some of you these stories can still be powerful triggers

so please know that you're not alone and if you need to talk to someone you can

call or chat with the folks at Rain working to support survivors.

Call 1-800-6-56 Hope, or visit online, R-A-I-N-N, that's Rain with Two-N-S-org.

In this episode you'll hear from Alyssa from the United States, then Olga from Poland. And last, you'll hear Anna, another American

woman. We first met Elissa in episode 4 when she described how Leonardo abused his role as a police officer to intimidate her and her friends when they tried to write a negative review.

He sent us a message threatening us saying,

you know, you've committed acts of slander.

This is against the Italian criminal penal code and I'm going to prosecute you.

You won't be able to leave the country.

You will be stopped at every airport, hostile, and hotel

you try to book into because I have your passport and your phone

numbers or your home address like information like that. We were really

scared. Now, Alyssa is in a very different place.

Hello, world, I guess.

This is Alyssa, again, from California.
