Jerry Braskin given a life sentence??? So this was based on a true story?
I know the movie was cheesy and the majority of the acting was horrible (I especially hate Tracy Nelson's voice ) but this, or something similar, actually happened to someone. I feel the movie kind of trivialized it.
But the good news is, the bastard's in jail!

I thought it trivialized rape survivors in general. I don't think more than a few weeks pass before Ellen is hooking up with an ex-con. Let alone following him in the middle of the night, across a big darkness filled park when she was acting scared of her own shadow just a few minutes before.
Yeah, getting raped was no biggie... According to this movie.
No two persons ever watch the same movie.share
I'm wondering if it was based on a true story, because I seem to remember a segment of "Oprah" and there was a woman describing a very similar situation in which she was raped in her home by an unknown assailant and she began dating a man who she intially trusted but it turned out he was her rapist. Like Jerry, after he was finally arrested, he claimed that he loved her. Ugggh!
sharethe bad breath burglar?
I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"
Probably nobody cares now but if anyone is interested, this story was based on the Dallas ski mask rapist, Gilbert H. Escobedo. You can Google his name for more information.
I don't suffer from insanity, I ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF IT!
