'Victim/Suspect' Documentary Exposes Flaws in Sexual Assault Investigations

Netflix documentary "Victim/Suspect" exposes the biased and flawed interrogation tactics used by law enforcement officials when dealing with rape accusations. The film highlights the troubling phenomenon of young women being charged with filing false rape reports, a crime that can result in penalties of up to a year in prison. The documentary argues that police officers are not only permitted but encouraged to lie in order to gauge individuals' reactions and elicit the truth, creating immediate doubt and fear in victims. The film provides damning insight into a system rigged in favor of those who should be under the harshest spotlight, and at the expense of those most in need.
