This was 18 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: an important conversation for jen for her personally, but also 19 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 1: to hear how we've used the situation four years later, 20 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: and there was some curiosity. Has his incarceration changed his 21 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: perspective and what does he plan to do when he's released. 22 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: Here are excerpts from their call. 23 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 5: I just wanted to see if he's be willing to 24 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 5: answers some questions. 25 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 4: Well, it's the realization. Okay, since I know you're gonna 26 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 4: obviously you're going through with. 27 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: It, and he says it he is referring to this project, 28 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: the podcast what you're listening to right now. 29 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 4: The realization of not being over for me. And it's 30 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 4: hard enough trying to imagine the difficulties I'm going to 31 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 4: face anyway, and then this seems just like another layer 32 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 4: of it, and that it freaked me out. 33 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: Essentially, Spencer is concerned that making more people aware of 34 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: his story will make post prison life more difficult for him. 35 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 4: But I can't obviously keep you from doing what you 36 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 4: need to do to feel better for yourself. 37 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, I keep getting back to this, but 38 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 5: I'm just so curious. Is to like what you think 39 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 5: about that life you were living. 40 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 4: The main thing I can say is that it had 41 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 4: gotten so out of control that it was, I don't 42 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 4: want to say living a life of its own, because 43 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 4: obviously I was in control of it, but it had 44 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 4: taken on the dominance in my life that I didn't 45 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 4: see coming. You know, even with the warnings that I had, 46 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 4: it obviously wasn't enough to stop everything. 47 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: Warnings like Jennifer's friend's husband calling him Spencer knew he 48 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: could tell Jen at any time. 49 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 5: Right, But you say didn't see coming, but like it 50 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 5: was happening before we got married. 51 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was happening all those years before he got married. 52 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 5: So knowing that you were like this, why get married? 53 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 4: Well, that's the part that's going to be difficult for 54 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 4: you to understand or believe. I didn't intended to keep going, 55 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 4: but you never stop. 56 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 5: Correct, So at what point did you intend for it 57 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 5: not to continue? 58 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 4: Oh, from the day that we got back together. 59 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 5: Okay, But knowing it was continuing and that you didn't stop, 60 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 5: why did you get married? 61 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 4: The intentions were always on the positive side, but my 62 00:03:54,920 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 4: actions would went over those intentions. And the main thing 63 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 4: is I can explain is the ease of the way 64 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 4: I found myself in those situations. I'm trying to use 65 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 4: an analogy. I've been to three different grocery stores. Even 66 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 4: though you don't want to go shop there anymore, it's 67 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 4: easier to go to those stores. You've already been to 68 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 4: those stores. You're not looking for another store to go to, 69 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 4: it's just that store still open. What I'm just trying 70 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 4: to say is that you know, once, once you had 71 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 4: been fooling around for so long. It's not like you 72 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,799 Speaker 4: got to figure out how am I going to fool arount. 73 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how all those women would feel about 74 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: the grocery store analogy. A few years earlier, in his 75 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: letters like the ones we heard in episode seven, Spencer 76 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: seemed to deny culpability by saying women just made themselves 77 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: available to him. Had time changed the story? 78 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 5: In one of the letters that you wrote me, and 79 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 5: you said that you never thought after Do you still 80 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 5: feel that way? 81 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 4: Well? Yes, in this I have to answer this in 82 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 4: two ways. Yes, meaning that I was never on a 83 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 4: long half that I chose to seek it out. It's 84 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 4: just an opportunity with percent itself, and then before I 85 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 4: knew it, I was pursuing it. It's probably not an 86 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 4: answer that it makes much sense. 87 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 5: Yeah, it doesn't just about editing with you. I have 88 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 5: seen so much correspondence that I do feel like you 89 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 5: thought after it. 90 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: Thought after might include come by the wine bar. I'm 91 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: single for the next few days. 92 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 4: I understand that, and I would never argue that that's 93 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 4: how you saw it. And I'm sure that no matter 94 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 4: how much we talk, there's gonna be some things that 95 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 4: won't make sense. They don't make sense to me either, 96 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 4: and I was the one involved in As much as 97 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 4: I want to make it better, no, there's gonna be 98 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 4: a lot of things that aren't, and they're what I say. 99 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 4: It's not gonna make it better. 100 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, nothing will ever make it better. Not 101 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 5: after everything I've read and seen and the amount I'll 102 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 5: never understand it. I am baffled at how you managed 103 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 5: so many different people at the same time, like a year, 104 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 5: two years, three year long affairs, multiple at a time. 105 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 5: When you look back, do you think you might have 106 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 5: a problem? And I'm not being facetious. 107 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 4: Well, my opinion doesn't matter until I get out there. 108 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 4: You can say if you don't think you ever found 109 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 4: an alcohol, if you never have alcohol around you. I'm 110 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,919 Speaker 4: dealing with guys who've been in for decades. To the 111 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 4: guys that's just come in a year. You know, most 112 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 4: of the fact and the Princess are females, and they're 113 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 4: they're not trying to with it, you know. I mean 114 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 4: to be me, I mean, I need to paint a 115 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 4: picture for you, right, and these guys will go crazy. 116 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 4: Guys in in the county jail were going crazy and 117 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 4: masturbating publicly masturbating that still happens in years now, that's 118 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 4: a problem. Maybe it's a different problems, but it's definitely 119 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 4: what I don't have. 120 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 5: Oh, I don't I don't care. The last time we talked, 121 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,679 Speaker 5: I think you felt as if you were fine and cured, 122 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 5: and it has gone away. 123 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 4: I still feel that way, but that's only how I feel. 124 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 4: I don't know. No one knows what anything's gonna be tomorrow. 125 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 5: But the thing is, I guess you and I think 126 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 5: of your situation differently because I look at what you 127 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 5: were doing our entire marriage, from before and the entire 128 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 5: every single day of our marriage, you look me in 129 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 5: the eye and lied to me. There are probably days, 130 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 5: and I hope to God not many, where you ended 131 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 5: up having to sleep with me and another woman on 132 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 5: the same day. You've brought women into our home. 133 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 4: Your sense of betrayal is not a sense at all. 134 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 4: It is a very real thing, and I would expect 135 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 4: you to deal with it no differently. Any any sane 136 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 4: person would deal with ith the way you're dealing with it, 137 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 4: which is to be dumbfounded and to be angry and 138 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 4: everything else that you felt. Now I'm never going to 139 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 4: get words in your mouth or emotions in your personality. 140 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 4: But all those things make sense that I couldn't skirt 141 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 4: around that if I wanted to. Why would I want to? 142 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 5: But do you not see an is you that might 143 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 5: need some work? You got to the point where you 144 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 5: were breaking the law, not to mention the disgustingness of it. 145 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 5: Do you ever think about the victim? 146 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, of course, I'm sure That's why I'm still here. 147 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,599 Speaker 1: No immediate expression of remorse. Rather, he thinks of the 148 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: victim's impact on his parole. 149 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 4: I'm not tooting my own horn. I just look at 150 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 4: the facts. Anybody makes parole as somebody like. 151 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 5: Me, I just don't know what to say. I mean, 152 00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 5: I guess good for her. 153 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, there are guys in't here that have been back three, 154 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 4: four or five six times and to get out on 155 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 4: parole every time. And I'm not bitter about that. I 156 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 4: don't even think about the TC anymore. I don't think 157 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 4: about parole anymore. Do the I do the next thing 158 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 4: I'm supposed to do that hour, I do the next 159 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 4: right thing every hour, and then the next thing after that, 160 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 4: and then I go sleep and I can do it 161 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 4: all over again. 162 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 5: Are you surprised that she would do that. 163 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 4: I'm surprised at the system more than I'm surprised to her. 164 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 4: I'm surprised that the system gives false hope and tells 165 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 4: you something's going to happen and then takes it back. 166 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 4: That's that's what I say. 167 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, that they couldn't know that she was going to 168 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 5: come forward. 169 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 4: Well, we don't know. We just were assuming, and that's 170 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 4: a really good assumption, you know, I about one hundred 171 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 4: bucks on it. 172 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 1: Actually we do know, and in an earlier episode, we learned 173 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: that the victim wrote and delivered a letter to the 174 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: parole board herself. 175 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 4: So no, I'm not surprised. I'm sure was her failing 176 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 4: when it was her? 177 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 5: Why do you think that she's an adult zone? 178 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 4: That doesn't matter. That's all this, you know, interesting drama 179 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 4: for the story. What matters is that she is hopefully 180 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 4: moving on. And as much as I wish I could 181 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,959 Speaker 4: take it back, I can't take it back. So all 182 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 4: I can do is hope, pray for everybody involved. 183 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 5: To be. 184 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 4: Okay and move on. 185 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's taking a long long time. 186 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: Jen was curious about the letter, so she put in 187 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: a call to the victim and asked if she would 188 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: be willing to share it with the podcast. 189 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 2: Do you remember when he was first supposed to be pulled? 190 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 3: It was last year? It was I think either around 191 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 3: September or October. 192 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, of twenty one. Right, So when you found this out, 193 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 2: you decided to write this letter? Do you mind reading it? 194 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 3: Yeah? And I was thinking of actually just saying my 195 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 3: first name only because this podcast has gotten so much attention, 196 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 3: and I thought maybe this could be an example for 197 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 3: other people or kids to not be afraid. 198 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 5: What you did was so brave and incredible. 199 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 2: It's obviously up to you. 200 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 3: I just thought it's one thing to say, oh, the victim. 201 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 2: Right, It's so hard for me, and you know, I'm 202 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 2: so protective of you and your identity, but like calling 203 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 2: you the victim, you know, it's just I get it, obviously, 204 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 2: but you know you're just so much more than that 205 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 2: to me. 206 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 3: Thank you. So I wrote to whom it made concerns. 207 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: First. 208 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 3: I would like to say that I don't know what 209 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 3: to say other than I am still in my process 210 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 3: of healing from what Spencer Heron did to me, starting 211 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 3: from when I was fifteen up until the very early 212 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 3: stages of my adult life. At first, when I received 213 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 3: the letter with news of him being up for parole, 214 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 3: I didn't want to respond or say anything, because all 215 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 3: I would like to do is move on with my life. However, 216 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 3: I realized then that is exactly what he would want. 217 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 3: It would have been a disservice to myself and all 218 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 3: the young girls out there had I not come forward 219 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 3: in the first place, And even now, years later, I 220 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 3: am responding to this because I believe he should not 221 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 3: be granted parole. People like Spencer Heron, who prey on 222 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 3: the innocence and trust of adolescence, do not wake up 223 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 3: one day and decide to sexually assault these children. People 224 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 3: like him take the time to select their victims and 225 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 3: begin the grooming process, just as he did with me. 226 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 3: This takes strategy, time, and effort on their part. I 227 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 3: wasn't the first victim, and I will not be the 228 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 3: last if he is released. Predators such as Spencer Heron 229 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 3: cannot control their perversions, nor are they willing to. This 230 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 3: ends up hurting not only the victims but their families 231 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 3: as well, just like he did to mine. I know 232 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 3: a side of him that not many do, and I 233 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 3: still live with those images in my mind every day. 234 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 3: He is cool, calculated, manipulative, deceitful, and violent. He has 235 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 3: no regard for who he hurts, and I am afraid 236 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 3: that there will be more victims if granted prole. I'm 237 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 3: also afraid for myself. I hope this letter will be 238 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 3: taken into consideration. Thank you for taking the time to 239 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 3: read this, sincerely. 240 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: Rachel, such a powerful letter to the parole board and 241 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: on this podcast, bravely putting her anonymity behind her, claiming 242 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: her strength because she's more than a victim. 243 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 6: She's Rachel. 244 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: Whether you would get paroled or not, Spencer would eventually 245 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: be released, Jen wanted to know was he prepared. 246 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 5: If you want to be successful, don't you think you 247 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 5: should think about getting some help. 248 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 4: I am, but I can't say that I'm going to 249 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 4: until I know what I'm going to be up against 250 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 4: when I get out. 251 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 5: For do you guys have therapy and stuff in prison? 252 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 4: Nothing even close to anything you might even possibly imagine. 253 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 5: Well, that's why I was wondering what your plan is 254 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 5: for after you get out. 255 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 4: My first plan and only real plan, is to make 256 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 4: sure I'm successful on premation of parole, because it's not 257 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 4: outlanded right back here. 258 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 5: So since we last, like, have you thought more about 259 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 5: what kind of life you had been leading? 260 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 4: Of course, I mean that's that's what you do when 261 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 4: you're when you have all this time and year, you 262 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 4: can reflect on everything and then hopefully, if you're a 263 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 4: person wants to change, then you figure out how to 264 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 4: do it.

Because he had to call you. 332 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 6: Well, I see the call coming in and it says 333 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 6: Wilcox State Prison, and my stomach just turns and I 334 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 6: get so nervous. And part of it was I knew 335 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 6: when I answered that he was going to be all 336 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 6: happy and excited to hear from me and everything, and 337 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 6: that just it doesn't sit well with me, Like does 338 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 6: he not understand? Yeah, he's just I guess it's denial. 339 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: Do you recognize the person on the phone on the 340 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: other side. 341 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 6: Yes, definitely. He sounds the same, talks the same, tries 342 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 6: to spin everything into a positive almost. And the thing is, 343 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 6: I'm sure you notice this. He avoids answering any questions. 344 00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: And how did you feel after the call? 345 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 6: I got off the phone with him and realized that 346 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 6: I never need to speak to him again. 347 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: Wow. 348 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 6: I just feel like I can wash my hands of it, 349 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 6: partly because I'm never going to get the answers. He's 350 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 6: not capable and it doesn't matter. It's not my problem, 351 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 6: it's his problem. I feel like I have put the 352 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 6: final piece in a box that I can pack up, 353 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 6: tape up, and put away in the attic. 354 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 1: We haven't even talked about this yet, but you reached 355 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 1: out about an update on his parole. 356 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 6: Well, I have a friend that has been so amazing 357 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 6: the last four years at always searching to see if 358 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 6: dates have changed for parole or whatever. And so I 359 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 6: woke up when warning to a text just the other 360 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 6: day that said he's getting released June twenty twenty two. 361 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: So within the next three weeks he's going. 362 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 5: To be out. 363 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 6: Oh, he could be out tomorrow, right, Andrea, do you 364 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 6: remember last summer when we talked on the phone and 365 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 6: I was telling you about how Spence was supposed to 366 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 6: get paroled like in October. 367 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: You were in the car, like hysterically crying. 368 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 6: Yes, And I was really scared. So then when the 369 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 6: parole got revoked because the victim wrote the letter, you know, 370 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 6: I thought he was going to be in there until 371 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 6: June twenty twenty three. 372 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: How does June twenty twenty two differ from June twenty 373 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: twenty one. 374 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 6: I think I've just done a lot more work on 375 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 6: understanding this mess that I was in in this relationship, 376 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 6: and I've healed a lot. And I have to say 377 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 6: the first time that we were in the studio together, 378 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 6: I was really angry. I mean it was still raw 379 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 6: and I was angry at the women, and you looked 380 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 6: at me and you said, Jennifer, you're really angry at 381 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 6: these women, and I think you need to take a 382 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:30,360 Speaker 6: look at that. I was pissed. I was like, what 383 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 6: is she talking about? But I thank you for that 384 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 6: because I got there and you seeing that from the beginning, 385 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 6: and then seeing it when I was able to talk 386 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 6: with some of these women and the compassion that was there, 387 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 6: I just I felt it. 388 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I said like, I will not do this 389 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: project with you if it's coming from a place of anger. 390 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: I needs to be coming from a place of curiosity 391 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 1: and trying to reclaim your life. And you made a 392 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 1: commitment to me that day that you would get there. 393 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 6: I just I hadn't learned it at that point. I 394 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 6: was still researching and there was so much to read, 395 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 6: and then the same story over and over and over 396 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 6: and over again, with so many different women. I just 397 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 6: had to learn. So thanks for sticking it out with me. 398 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: Absolutely, thanks for sticking it out with me. Heck, yeah, 399 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: I want to play you something from episode three when 400 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: you were talking to Rachel. You said something really important 401 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: and she said something similar. 402 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 4: I just hope that this will help someone out there. 403 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 3: I just want this to help someone who's going through 404 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 3: the same pain that you went through and that I 405 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 3: went through. 406 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 5: That's all. 407 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 6: I think we've both learned that just sharing this stuff 408 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 6: if it can help one other person, Bere. 409 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: I just know that helping other victims, you know, of betrayal, trauma, grooming, 410 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: abuse of power was a big part of embarking on 411 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: this project for you, for Rachel, for me, and our 412 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: other producers. And I think that's why she told her 413 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: story and felt comfortable coming to you. So I hope 414 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: it's okay, but I wanted to spend some time to 415 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: read you some of the letters that we've received from 416 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: our audience, if that's okay, sure. Listening to Jennifer's story 417 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 1: helped me realize more about an experience I had when 418 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: I was in high school. I had still not fully 419 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,719 Speaker 1: made the connection between my experience and being a victim 420 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: of grooming as a teenager. Putting those missing pieces together 421 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: has helped me process and untangle some things and really 422 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: shame I didn't realize was still there. Jennifer, thank you 423 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: for being courageous and sharing your story. 424 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, I'm gonna cry well, I am crying. 425 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: Here's another one.

He somehow 428 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: talked me into having an affair. I felt beyond sick 429 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: and uncomfortable about it ever since. I didn't say no, 430 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: but I wanted to. He made me feel special all 431 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: the shitty things. It was a type of an assault 432 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 1: on my psyche, my mind, my heart, and my conscience. 433 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: It took me until this podcast, at thirty seven years 434 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: old to finally forgive myself. Thanks for giving me space 435 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: to sit with my feels and open the door to 436 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: something I didn't think I could heal from.
